So I had the (mis)pleasure of talking to Martin after the Northampton cup game. I asked him why we don't leave players on the half way line when we defend set pieces (something in the modern game that irks me, no counter!). He told me he'd like to but they have to keep things tight at the back. He then praised Northampton for keeping two up when defending corners.
Well I have two issues with this...
1) He's the manager. If he wants us to set up with a man on the half way line for a quick counter, do it!
2) We aren't exactly safe as houses at the back are we?! (admittedly I can't recall a goal against coming from a set piece as of late)
I just think he's a walking contradiction.
