    Yet again this highlights there is very little time spent on set pieces in training as our finishing is abysmal.

    There was a lot of work done in pre season and it showed with the set piece goals we had early on. Once it’s a game every 3 days you’ve basically got no time to work on anything extensive other than recovery

    He's struggling bcoz the manager has made it blatantly obvious he's 2nd choice no matter what he does or how many chances Kyogo misses.

    He's a confidence player and like most strikers is a guy who needs to be playing regularly to get into a rhythm, we seen what he can do last season when he gets that run of games. He's never gonna get that.

    His pen was awful but again its down to confidence. He scored 8 or 9 in his last season in Holland.

    Given he's been linked with clubs down south it wouldn't suprise me if he was looking for a move away by the summer unless his situation changes.

    Would be more understandable if he was being kept out by someone who was playing well and banging goals in every week.

    Sorry I have to disagree with you, free kicks and corners have been * all season and let’s not talk about penalties, fitness and tactics are important but we seem so focussed on passing the ball into the net of late then there is no excuse for not practicing dead ball situations, I am sure big Joe would appreciate the practice of saving penalties!

    When he placed the ball at the back of the spot, it looked liked there was a gulley behind the ball, first thing I thought is he’s going to blaze it over.

    We’ve 100% worked on set pieces defensively, far better again this season from last. This season 90% of the balls in the box are pish, but we don’t have the height advantage against any team and better to spend more time on our general play than set pieces.

    I actually think we’d be better to set up an attacking shape than loading the box, pass the most the time and the odd time have a late runner into the box.

    Always makes me chuckle how much abuse Giakoumakis gets for missing a slack handful of chances, meanwhile darling Kyogo can do no wrong when he’s spaffing a bucketload of them up the wall.

    Fair enough mate but if ye go back and watch the highlights we scored something like 6 set piece goals in our first 6 games. The fall off came when we went from one game a week to two. In terms of delivery their is defo an inconsistency but don’t know how much of that can be coached, dead ball specialists are rare these days.

    Something to be said for Ange approaching Naka now he's retired see if he fancies a wee coaching gig. If they're going to learn may aswell be from the best.

    * are you talking about. Go on the Kyogo thread and it’s full of people calling him out for missing chances and it has been that way for weeks. You talk utter * dross.

    I was the same with your hun mates and their love for Alfie. He couldn't buy a goal against Celtic, that's when he actually got to start as he was that poor a finisher he was benched for the Glasgow derbies. Yet, your hun mates would rant and rave about him being worth 20,25,30m.

    As you point out the fat bloke could and still can't do no wrong. As that would be them admitting every other fan in Scotland was right and knew he was a fat work shy cheat who only got what he did with the help of the hun referees.

    Still maybe this new Manager will bring out the best in him eh?

    I don't know if you're a hun or not. Really not interested either way. You just talk utter * nonsense. Between your mad creepy hate for Greg Taylor and now this strange, inaccurate statement that Kyogo gets away with murder from our fans on here, not exactly difficult to understand why folk think you're from the other side.
