Set Pieces

[Balham Green]

One reason why Nouble comes on near the end is to assist the defence when we are defending a lead or drawing and to add to the forward height as a target man when we are behind.

Funny you should mention this, I was wondering if our Frank could, possibly, be 'converted' into a central defender?
His usefulness up front (apart from running down the clock) would mainly be as a target man. But, as we don't lump balls forward, this potential aspect of his game is largely untested.
Could he do a job alongside Opoku and Watts? Just wondering.

He's certainly not a target man though is he? Unable to win many headers or hold the ball up.

Quite right, that's why I'm asking the question.

Do throw-ins count as a set-piece? (They certainly do at Cheltenham).
We scored the winner against Sunderland from a throw-in.
