Ekwah on corners

[SR2]

Can anybody explain why our tallest player doesnt get in the box for corners? Always standing on the edge of the box. Fair enough he can strike a ball but surely he should be in the mix?

 

[ChrisAshley]

He's scared of challenging for the ball in the air.

 

[CraigyLee]

Hasn’t won a header all season

 

[Latin Scout]

Ba would outjump him - and he has a good shot from distance

 

[Mantobar]

Cos all his goals have been headers and not shooting on the edge of the box or just outside

 

[Labrat]

Should probably concentrate on getting it regularly past the first man before we worry about numbers in the box.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Unless he stands right at the front post, and in front of all the opposition players - he won’t be getting the ball anyways.

Because we never beat the first man!

 

[Latka Gravas]

Daryl Murphy would outjump him

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Don’t think I’ve saw him head a ball yet tbf, some players just don’t have that instinct in them despite their height. Rusyn on the other hand despite his height disadvantage will give most defenders a run for their money winning the ball in the air.

No he doesnt

Same with Hume on the half way line at corners he’d be more effective in the box!

No point standing in the box if the corner hits the first defender.

Smart player.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

He’s not great in the air for his size. Hjelde looks a threat mind and likes to put himself about in the box

Ba would out jump most of our team to be fair . He has a serious leap .

I like having a man on the half way line just incase and Hume will take one for the team

 

[Lonz]

Most of the goals he’s scored (if not all?) have been from outside the box.

Didn’t work for their goal yesterday.

Very true. But surely with his height he should be in the box for corners.

Ekwah is not the problem. The problem is our delivery for all types of set pieces is woeful.. they are either ballooned or fail to beat the first man. Surely someone the squad can whip them in!

Ekwah jump
