Would agree there’s scope for more crosses in, but not sure we would have been any more a potent and attacking threat as a result though. IMO, it’s the addition of Wreh with Beck, trying Beestin on the right, and whatever else they’ve been working on in training (which doesn’t appear to be crosses in to Beck from the flanks) that’s made a difference. I know some supporters have been arguing for more crosses in but it’s not happening at present and we’ve seen a marked improvement anyway. Would agree we’ve relied on Roberts doing what he’s been doing but I rather think that’s frequently saved us rather than being detrimental.
Yeah he did look a bit cranky when he came off , he’s usually subbed before then maybe he thought he’d played too long and would require more beauty sleep last night, either way he’ll be fine, we will miss him when he’s gone though.
I haven’t seen many games recently, only highlights. How does Beck do at corners because that’s a dead ball cross into the box situation – is he a threat at these or does the number of defenders around him nullify it? Roberts cutting in may irritate some but it’s been quite successful this season, putting the part time full back on his weaker foot gives him a very good advantage
