They are pretty predicable. Throw it or cross it to Ballard. Maybe to mix it up a little just use him as the distraction

Or even go short once in a while, rather than allowing the opposition to get back and setup.
Our attacking set pieces seemed far better in the early stages of the league, I'm sure there was talk of little signals that were being given but now it just seems a bit rinse and repeat.

Have you seen anything that suggests why a set piece coach who basically came from
L1 was highly rated?
Not evolved as season gone on. Been out performed by opposition and not succeeded for a good while now either offensively/defensively.

The mags had a really good corner routine against Man Utd which very nearly resulted in a goal. Gordon was stood at near post, all other mag players (and therefore defenders) would stood towards the back post. Everyone made a run towards the near post as Gordon spun around the back to attack the back post.
Near post runners meant Gordon's marker was blocked and couldn't track him. He was left with an unchallenged volley about 8 yards out at the back post but he just couldn't reach it.
Made me wonder when was the last time we seen us try something different from a set piece.

Another week, another blank scoring and another goal conceded.

Opposition have just worked out to keep Ballard pressed and pushed. Once they take him out of the game we haven't anyone else on set-pieces

Yes. With our set piece coach on an extended holiday we arent creative enough to do anything else

It isn’t just set pieces though, our tactics in general have become very predictable. Le Bris needs to up the tempo instead of passing between the keeper and defenders while the opposition reshape.

My suggestion would be begins in the warming up process with players shooting practice from the 18 yard line. This needs to be stopped as during the game, on two occasions yesterday and in previous matches, we've had the clear cut opportunity to strike the ball from this range during the games and ended up "buck passing" to another player when a strike on goal may have earned us a reward or two. The Warm up practice is imo view a waste of time..
Only kidding, but it is there to see, clear as day.

Watching PSG and Bayern and it was a joy to see proper football without the pushing, shoving and handbags you see in premier league where set pieces are so important
