totally agree exile. can,t see the point of getting everyone back especially the ones that can,t defend, seen a couple of times in the last 12 months where non defending players have got in the way of a defender and caused an opposition goal.[/QUOTE]
Hmmm....
I'm thinking silly now.....
When we are defending a corner then we should put nine or even all ten of our outfield players up on the half way line so our opponents will have to pull all of their players back too! When our keeper catches the ball, (hopefully!) from the corner unchallenged we will be back in possession and we will never ever concede a goal from a corner again!
