Zonal Marking in the Championship 10:36 - May 14 with 1182 viewsAl_Bundy

After the endless amount of free headers and goals conceded this season and even this week against Southampton and Stoke should this be binned ?

Do you think our big strong players will be able to use man marking any more effectively?

Managers often favour zonal systems when they don't have many capable one on one defenders. It's more a symptom than a cause for conceding set piece goals, whatever they say on MotD.

Zonal systems work. Statistically they reduce chances, and make individual errors less significant. Everyone uses some form of zonal system (men on the posts, one on the near edge of the six yard box etc.). Zones aren't the enemy (bad coaching and players are).

You need a combination of both. We don’t do this but you need someone good in the air on the near post zone to head clear. 2 on the posts and the rest man marking. Possibly a blocker in the middle to stop the runners.

We are crap at set pieces doesn't what end of the pitch it is. And defensively we have been garbage at set pieces for years.

Need George Byers in the team. Class free kicks and corners.

We have achieved the incredible feat of defending corners with nobody on either post whilst simultaneously leaving nobody upfront for a quick break.

What exactly all 11 were doing is beyond me.

Zonal marking is the least of our problems. It's slightly above the price of Kit Kats and Mars bars at the Liberty in order of importance.😂
