Our small team doesn't have enough players that really threaten from set pieces. Even taller players like Konsa and Aribo aren't strong in the air.
What about Magennis, Bauer, Sarr and Pearce then?
Sarr rarely plays, so yes we're usually aiming for three players. Most teams cope with that easily.
The thing is though mate we had enough height in the team to threaten at a corner today. Get a decent delivery in, clear the first man, and give them something to attack.

We rarely score from corners; why not? A couple of thoughts:
1) A corner should always clear their 1st man, if it's intended as long/far post.
2) Where's our movement and strategies? Example: Ball to the near post, header flicked on across the goalmouth, the late runner storms in at the back post unmarked. Wrongfoots defenders every time. We never see Charlton do anything like it these days.
An occasional short corner, to a tricky ball player to drive into the box and draw defenders to him to create space in the box and cause defensive panic - hey, might even win a rare penalty.
Or driven low into a crowded box, often very difficult to defend, resulting in ricochets and loose balls. Again defenders wrongfooted.
A bit of variety keeps the oppo guessing. It often seems that Bauer's physical presence is the only tactic we have. My God, I sound like Viewfinder

You're alright for the moment mate when you start on about the lack of movement at throw ins you'll have me worried .

Don't get me started.
I just want us to play the Eddie Firmani way
I'll have some of that, at least he knew where the back of the net was as a player and knocks KR into a cocked hat as a Manager .
Would I trust KR to win us promotion under new owners and a bigger budget? Absolutely not. Much better managers out there who would love to join us under new ownership. I still think KR will survive until the end of the season. As long as Roland is the owner, KR will keep his job.

He knows he has no chance of keeping his job now after a takeover, so he’ll leave if a club shows interest. I reckon he’ll be at Oxford soon enough.
I just want this clown to go - sick of listening to him.
Nobody can get this team to play any worse.
We've managed one win and three draws in the last eight games when we're supposed to be pushing for promotion. We can't even blame it on a difficult set of fixtures.
The football under KR is predictable and DULL! Depressing to watch and tactically inept.
"I thought Nicky and Michal looked good as a two up front. We played two systems today and got the same outcome. We went to 4-4-2 and it was the same."
I manage a team and sometimes your reliable corner taker isn't on it - what you do is give the role to somebody else for that game. It is the basic principle of changing something that isn't working that seems lost on Robbo!
He has such a skewed view our games. I know most managers do but he takes the biscuit. He keeps saying that we 'dominate' games but that is just patantly not true.
We have a lot of the ball, yes, but that is just us passing it around at the back and back to Amos constantly. In no way did we dominate Fleetwood today. We just had more of the ball and did F all with it.

We dont create enough good chances. There seems a detachment between defence, midfield and attack, Magennis gets isolated because of this. It happens in every home game!
Good chances being the key word there. Robinson looks at the shot count and almost every game says we weren't clinical enough. How many chances do we really get where you think the player shouldn't miss?
According to someone on the Facebook group Robinson offered to resign during the week.
You see a ball played hopefully to Magennis, and if he wins it and it is under his control he is on his own, if he gets his head to it, he might as well not as nobody is there to play off him. I feel sorry for the bloke, we are certainly not using him cortrectly. You can do this with one up front but it needs players getting up quickly to support which we just don't do. The simple way to stop us is make sure you always have a good number defending in the box. Holmes could do the odd special shot which helped, but we have had this issue all season, even when we were getting results the clue was there.
I'd have almost rather hear they don't work on corners. It might explain why we're so bloody terrible at them. If they actually practice that shit then it's a pretty damning indictment on the quality of coaching going on at Sparrows Lane because our corners are truly, truly awful.
It always baffles me that a player (admittedly not any current Charlton player) can score 10 or 20 penalties in a row and then as soon as he misses one he's off them until someone misses one again, but a player can deliver 5 or 6 shocking corners in a row, like Fosu did today, and still be given responsibility for the next one.

Spot on. Everything we do in attack is done in front of the opposition's defence.
Our only striker just wants his back to goal, Fosu only wants to dribble, Marshall only wants to play within 5 yards of the touch line and whoever is at no. 10 never runs beyond the no. 9.
We never have players making forward runs off the shoulder, and we never have players playing straight through balls for people to run onto. If anyone wants to get a shot away, they always have to beat at least one player to do it.
Robinson is right, they packed everyone behind the ball and made it difficult, but week after week we don't do any of the things that you need to do to get through a massed ranks defence. We just go from side to side endlessly over and over in the vague hope someone will fall over or something to miraculously give us a clear sight on goal. That comes down to tactics and coaching. We need to run forwards, pass forwards (long and short), and do it all with no more than one or two touches of the ball.
Our formations is predictable but so is each passage of play. It why we look good for 10 to 20 minutes in every game but then teams realize we basically only have 3 moves, all of which are telegraphed and once they work out how to stifle those we look like we could play for a month without scoring.
At the very least if you put the ball into the penalty box enough, league 1 sides will make an error - it how teams get goals against us, but we just can't or won't do it back to them.
I don't think we ever been so frustrating to watch.

You are clearly out of your depth and havnt got a clue how to reverse our shite form .

Just go!
Either way, Jackson can do all the drills he wants yet the players should know to beat the first man
Your a pillock Robinson please piss off soon.
Are you having a laugh?
