I really don't mind the crosses that they put into the box which go to an opponent - though they very often do it without looking up - at least they get it into the danger zone. But crossing without looking is something you can only do if you have a good idea of where your CF will be and I don't think Bamford is predictable enough for that to work. What's far more common with the crossing though is that they either balloon them over everyone or they hit the first defender, and neither of those is acceptable.
As an aside, I'm really puzzled by how many people I've seen online saying Costa had a great game - someone even said he was MOTM. I thought he was pretty awful, and usually is. Our most ineffectual player for me.

I couldn’t make it yesterday so interesting reading how we did.Maybe I should miss more games it it means we win!I’ve often thought with the crosses that there’s more than just blaming the crosser. As you say, sometimes there’s not much to aim for and sometimes Bamford’s movement isn’t great. I wonder if Costa and Harrison play balls into an area, hoping someone will be there or are they actually trying to pick a specific player out.

Also, I’ve noticed that the reason that Costa and Harrison do usually find an opposition player with their final ball / cross is that usually there’s only Bamford in the area which is the downside of playing with one striker. On the plus side we usually pick up the clearance and it all starts again. We did actually have a few of long distance efforts - Klich and Costa in the first half but they were both at the keeper.

Seemed that really only our full backs (and CFs) were keen to have potshots, and reasonably close to target. Was everyone else blocked off? Are we coached to keep passing till a clear chance emerges? are the others getting a bit scared to miss? read a report masquerading under the name of Rich Walker - what have you done with the real RW? (good report - essential reading as always and great to see you pleased with the team!).Did you hear the Robins commentator claim Bill's goal was how a Centre Forward should seize his opportunities? Betty's What'sApp link told me to go away. Is there a magic trick?
