At the Cambridge game - it's really looking bleak!!

Has anyone else noticed our lack of height across the pitch? Our players seldom win a header - sometimes they don't even jump but others they had no hope in the first place!

I particularly notice it at corners. We concede a lot from set plays; partly through switching off but also, I believe because of the height difference. It's men versus boys at times!

You have to question our manager's lack of movement in the transfer window as a result.

Poor thing.

I think quite a few of us have been saying for a while that we keep crossing the ball to our imaginary 6ft 6 midfielder.

Hopefully we can turn it around and get something positive from this game.

When was the last time WE scored from a corner?

Seriously I can't remember!

We did during one home game this season. I remember it because I did my usual "come on you reds" when we went up for the corner and said to the person sitting next to me "i don't know why I still do this, we never bloody score" and we did.
