Cranston's free kicks

Delighted that he's back in the squad despite his short comings in defence but the last 2 goals have come from his corners. :) However do wish that when he's taking a free kick that he sometimes has a shot at goal. :cry:

Yesterday in the first 45 there was an example where there was only a single opponent in a wall in front of him and the space between the opponent and his colleagues was wide open with a clear view of their goalkeeper which for me Jordan should have taken advantage of and tried a shot which we all know he has in his locker. Instead he crossed the ball into an area where our forward players were being heavily marked. Maybe that's what DA had told him to do but the chance to have a go directly for goal was missed. :?

From our view in C a shot at goal was most certainly on.... :o

Jordan looked better when we went 3 at the back playing further forward with Cooney.

Jordan always looks like he’s a foul, penalty, red card in him when he’s just asked to defend, but playing as a wing-back different kettle of fish.

Agree completely Andy, He’s better further up the pitch where he uses his pace and can pick a pass.
Great cross on more than one occasion yesterday.

Jordan definitely the best at corners. Conlan never got he ball past the first man. Phillips is good at them too but a bit hit and miss.
