These tactics and set piece routines will have been worked upon over the pre season period and probably looked like it would bring success, however when implemented in a real match situation they havent quite come off, the problem being with games coming thick and fast in opening 3 weeks of the campaign there will have been little opportunity to readdress this on the training pitch.
What the international break will give, is Levein and his staff quality time on the training ground to iron out the set plays and the areas where we have struggled over the previous 7 matches. It will also allow some reflection time on what has been successful and what hasnt in these opening matches and hopefully we will see a big improvement in the pattern of the team and our set play routines both defensively and attacking. Many of the new players are still bedding in and getting used to the style and individual roles and responsiblities demanded by the manager. CL stated he wanted all transfer activity concluded prior to pre season, this would enable him to maximise the time on the training pitch with the new players to prepare for the new season and the pattern of play, as we all know for a variety of different reasons this did not happen as planned and therefore a number of players were signed a lot later than anticipated thus reducing preperation time, this has meant some of our play has been disjointed and a little inconsistent. This should improve greatly as the players become accustomed to the pattern and tactics implemented.

Maybe they work against the kids in training. We scored two goals from those corners at Bury, so presumably that's encouraged the manager to persevere with it. A chipped corner to the near post can be very effective if it's accurate, and flicked on well. Liverpool used to use them very effectively when Gary Mac took them - but they didn't do the same thing every corner, which is what we seem to be trying to do at the moment.
is it a fox?

I thought the first half was poor today, no width at all. Willcox seemed to be playing centre mid and every time they whipped a cross in they looked like scoring. They hit the woodwork 4 times for chirst sake. I was listening to 5 live on me way back and T*ylor said the first half hour was the best Hull have ever played under him, so sometimes you've gotta give the opponents some credit. Their keeper made 2 great saves off De Vries and we ended strongly. Shoddy defedning cost us for the goal. Once again all 11 players are in the box and they win the ball TWICE without a jaffing challenge! This defending needs sorting out over the next 2 weeks. But that goal gave us a lift and we played a lot better and once we scored it looked like we would get the winner. Joey should have scored and Stearman had header cleared off line,we could easily have nicked it. It got better but still needs improving, especially at the back. We need to get some width and hopefully Hughes will be back for the Sheff Wed game to add that missing spark.
