Same old, same old...

[OsloRover]

1-1 off a corner

[Old Codger]

Yet more set piece woes. Poor defending and an easy finish for the Huddersfield man. 😞

[K-Hod]

Another set piece goal conceded ✅.

🥱.

If they think what Venkys are going through is hard times, they should try being a Rovers fan under their tenure.

Normal service is resumed.

FFS!

[roversinmyblood]

Pickering left his man!!

[Bethnal]

There’re four headers on the pitch, so what’s the set piece excuse this week?

[WacoRover]

Knew the good feeling wouldn’t last, with our poor defending

Turns out changing keeper didn’t solve the set piece issues

Wasn't on the keeper this one. Let's be fair.

[roversinmyblood]

Sorba Thomas looking best player on the pitch. Something to prove?

He tried to gift them a goal before the corner - palmed it out into the danger area, S. Wharton was just the first to react this time.

Never once saw him deliver a ball as well as he did that corner.

Shaky at the back. Got nothing going forward.  Hudds on top. 

standard fare.

 

[OsloRover]

Having Pickering marking Helik on a corner is never going to work is it

Nope Pickering completely lost him. 

[G Somerset Rover]

A set piece to the opposition is as good as a goal these days. It’s inexcusable - Venky’s or no Venky’s.

That's the best corner he's put in at Ewood Park. 

[CambridgeRover]

can we not get someone to sort out set pieces.

Billy benson cant be in charge of them can he???

I think they were playing zonal marking - you're not asking Pickering to mark their most dangerous header. He just beat Gallagher to the ball.

[rovers11]

Same old story. Unable to do the basics well. It's been coached out of them imo.

Shaky with anything in the air. 

Every team that plays us just plays for set pieces and crosses now 'cos we can't win anything.
