We had a backroom meeting today, for the first time in a couple of weeks. I was offered some strange advice, like changing Chris Shuker’s squad status from key man to “backup to the first team.” What has Grant Brown been smoking, to think that Shuker is anything less than vital to our success? He did give one piece of good advice, however, which was to add Chris Birchall to the corner-takers list.
Birchall is the best set-piece taker in the club, with a rating of 12 for corners and 11 for free kicks coupled with excellent crossing and mental attributes. Young left-back Alex Billington is actually one of the best, too. I put him as second-choice for corners on the left side and second choice for free kicks on both sides of the pitch.
This is why I need a backroom staff—to remind me about little-yet-important things like this.
