However Why have mansfield teams for as long as i can remember sat soo deep on corners.
CJ isnt an ariel presence as a defender in the box. Why was he not hugging the half way line against very slow defenders
Its not just recent, its been a thing for a loong time now and i just dont get it. It puts us on the back foot when we lose the ball after clearing it

It might be a good idea to leave Mellis on the bench

As we lined up for the second corner, Ian Pledger (our goalkeeping coach) ran off the bench and shouted at him to go back to the edge of our box. It all seemed very odd and unsatisfactory

They will have to risk the counter or not commit many forwards. That leaves 9 of our players in or around our penalty area.

As you commented a couple of weeks ago in reply to my post ,if we leave a few foward abit ,it might allow our keeper the chance to actually catch a cross or corner

Yes, the answer to our current poor brand of football is to actually have even less players on the pitch who are willing to receive the ball and pick a pass.
