Im seriously not sure how McMahon can improve our free kicks and corners, more than RW.

To me Richie is head & Shoulders the best coach/manager we've ever had, so why bring in another guy?

The chiefs now outnumber the first team squad. Let's have a match, 1st team v staff, should be interesting.

Joking and conspiracy theories aside it’s a really odd appointment.

Ask the question: were the club actively looking for a “development & set-piece coach” and he was the best man for the job?

Or, did they create a role to give the guy a job?

I suspect the second one is the case and that’s a bit strange.

Why did Richie say, we usually end up with a few lads who stay back on away trips & that is a waist, so Daryl being here we got more from them which in turn helps the squad. Did he make that up to cover for someone ?

If this wasn't Richie idea then I wouldn't be very happy about it . Apart from Justin , Richie is the best manager we've had in God knows how long . I don't know what extra Daryl can bring to the team that Richie can't .

Would anyone else's supporter base lose their mind over the appointment of a coach?

You have an odd definition of “lose their mind”.

Was on the Orient bench today. I thought part his job was to look after the players who didn’t travel. Very strange appointment.

I thought we were low on budget. Looks lika a waste of time and money.Something is not quite right Noticed that for the last couple of weeks RW has not done any pre match interviews.

We have played 10 league games this season and I don't recall us scoring as a result of a corner or a free kick. in fact, corners and free kicks really are almost a liability for us these days. Looking at the highlights yesterday, at one point we got a corner, Fleetwood broke away and almost scored and that is by no means the only time that has happened this season.

I agree that if we have surplus budget we should be using it on trying to find someone who can actually stick the ball in the net rather than a development and set piece coach.

This is what seems strange about it. On one hand you have Nigel moaning about having to put extra in the budget and fans not buying his burgers, then weeks later adds another member of staff to the wage bill.

Even on a low wage by football standards (let's say 30-40k a year) that's 3 months or so of a January loanee's wages.

Quite an easy value for money exercise to quantify the justification in the appointment by the amount of goals we score from a corner post employing Mr Setpiece.

If Daryl is set piece coach for attacking as well as defensive set pieces, IMO we were better at corners before he got the job and we were lousy even then. No improvement in our attacking corner play but fortunately we got lucky with the one we scored from 👍👍

Our corners in the first half were absolute garbage. Brown in the second half just banging it into the mixer was an improvement and then Graham at the end finally made us actually threaten a bit.

Wait until Daryl gets to grips with those set pieces. They'll probably just make the play offs!
