simongarnerisgod Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago benson is very good at rearranging the counters on the tactics board and waving the subs board Quote

We got lucky with that lad interfering with a header that looked like going in. That goes in and yesterday’s result could have been different. The same centre half got on to the next one as well. 1 Quote
DaveyB Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I think he might already be in place. Certainly last week against Southampton there was someone I didn’t recognise (and definitely not Benson) on the touchline shouting instructions at every corner and I remember thinking that we must have appointed a new set piece coach Quote
KentExile Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago He has now changed his linkedin to state he joined Rovers in November as "Set Piece Anylist" https://www.linkedin.com/in/danny-ventre-9553006a/?originalSubdomain=uk Quote
Ossydave Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I don't really understand how this is an actual job role, it's not a complicated task to be half decent at set pieces. Still, given how shite ours are I suppose it may be a positive move.... Quote

That’s a tricky one. Quote

Still, given how shite ours are I suppose it may be a positive move.... Speaking of set pieces what about that one yesterday when we had everybody back in our box and Leicester had two players just waiting for a squared ball for a shot a goal. Even the dogs in the street could see what was going to happen but none of our players could. Quote

One of the masters of set pieces was Tony Pulis, except he didn't do anything extraordinary at all, just worked hard in training and adapted the players to suit their strengths. It was seen as the way forward for lesser teams like Stoke at the time and to an extent the dingles under Dyche. Now it seems to be the latest fad even with the so called bigger teams. Quote

Villa and Arsenal have had once for few seasons.. JDT wanted one when he was here Quote
roversfan99 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago Why do so many teams have set piece coaches? I dont get why its seen as necessary. Lots of teams do. Yeah, but why? Is it necessary. Team x and team y do. Superb counter arguments. Quote
chaddyrovers Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Why shouldn't we have a set pieces coach? If its improve the team and we start being a bigger threat from set pieces. Quote
Torgeir Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Just watch Arsenal once and you'll see how any team can benefit from some real set pieces training. Saw a stat before this round regarding Arsenal: Goals from: Set pieces - 1st in the league Penalties - 2nd in the league Goals from open play - 17th in the league Table position - 1st It's a big part of the modern game. I hope they get rid of the long throws by adjusting the rules before next season. 1 Quote

Although it was a fair question by ossydave to at least ask why, and one you didnt answer properly. Quote
