We need to do what Sheffield United are doing and put the ball into the box quickly without dicking about, it's worth just sticking it in at pace against premier league defenders and seeing what happens, even more so against league one knackers.

Lead to the goal indirectly because their corner came from a quick cross.
Agreed. Basics again that we are getting wrong isn't it. If you put the ball in the box it can take a wicked deflection, hit an oppositions arm or fall right on the foot/head of your own player. If you don't put the ball in the box you very rarely score.
 
Look at that arsenal defending, three players on one near post man. Overloaded at the back post

basic stuff really at any level, even left a man free on the middle of the six yard line

Happens to us often enough doesn't it. I think in general we need to take a back to basics approach with plenty of graft and playing the percentages more than we do. I'd play two up top with that in mind so we've got more than one player in the box.

Reminds of days gone by when safc beat Man City 1-0 time and again

I’m on BTTS and thought it was a cert when Sheffield scored but there you go
 
Sheffields three centre backs were outstanding, and we re-leased one of them in 2014 without ever giving him a game.
 
Smoggies in bottom 3 if they lose tonight.
Woodgate has an Uber on stand-by.

One of the worst misses ever. Owa the bar from 3 yards out
