Set pieces in general this season have been fairly woeful. We are second to the ball either way on the edge of our own box.

Palmer's corner when it never beat the first man, then the free kick which hit their bloke in the family jewels. Just not him though. There was a corner in the second half which went out for a goal kick at the other side. Makes you wonder what they do on the training ground. In the first half we were way off the pace and lost all of the 50/50s. Improved in the second half when we actually began to put a challenge in.

If you watch it he sets himself and is going to his right and can’t readjust
Doesn’t look good but not the end of the world
He made an allsop we can move on

I noticed it too. Wasn’t actually Palmer’s fault. He was gesturing to those already in the box about Small being left unmarked.

I think Palmer wanted to mark Small but other players were telling him to mark the space on the edge of the box instead. I didn't see what came before that with Palmer apparently coming back to the box having originally been up the pitch, but if that was the case it suggests he was brought back to fill that space. I still don't think it was ultimately the cause of the goal because there were enough bodies around him and Drameh's pathetic challenge was the biggest culprit there, but it does point to a lack of organisation that players are so unsure where to set up for the first corner of the game.

It’s not even like it was a great shot right into the corner. It was right next to him. Equivalent to a striker diving in head first to block one of our own shots on the enemy goal line.
 
This sounds crazy, but having played in goal for a while mainly as a kid, there’s definite something similar to ‘goalkeeper’ YIPs like you won’t dive to save the ball. It’s hard to explain, but to put it simply he’s monumentally out of form. Obviously linked to the amount of goals we are conceding.

We're shipping loads of goals because we gave two centre backs who seem incapable of winning the ball in the air

I’m sat in the south stand and couldn’t believe Pandur did not dive . It was a tame side foot from distance and not even right in the corner of the net . My friend stated he must of had £20 on Preston to score in the 10 th minute it was that bizarre.
 
If you look the header that dropped to Ball was created because the challenger was taller and had his arm holding our guy down . They did this so many times in the game and got away with it . I’m sick of seeing defenders all over the pitch pushing people in the back just enough to put their timing off . Refs need to punish it .

Tbf, as one or two others have said, you can see from Panda's footwork as their player was about to take the shot that Panda made a decision to set himself up for the shot going to his right. He had to make a choice and a split second decision but unfortunately chose the wrong way. Nothing he could then do when the shot was to his left.
Panda was at fault for an awful ball out. Hughes was badly at fault for backing off rather than immediately closing down their player, giving him the time and freedom to choose where to put the ball.
Both goals were pretty shocking defensively. Again.
