I suppose that shows the value of networking

We haven't had much in the way of lump-in-the-box strikers in recent years, so short corners seem to be more prevalent. I think the last decent one might have been Ollie Palmer.

We send the CBs up for corners and free kick and invariably the ball never gets anywhere near them

Fact from Alain from G H Coaches: Crawley and Accrington are the only EFL sides never to play at Wembley. We are also the oldest current EFL club not to make it. We are also one of five EFL clubs not to play at the new Wembley along with Accrington, Colchester, Ipswich and Blackburn. Hopefully our time will come soon!

Yes I was, thanks. All goalies make mistakes. JTG would have us believe it's only Corey who does. He has made so many saves this season - and last - that have kept us in games, and gained us a lot of points we wouldn't otherwise have. So one misplaced clearance or wayward goal kick isn't enough to demand we change the goalie.

He could command his box a bit better, but then our defence could defend a bit better and not leave him under so much pressure. And this constant passing back to him (Conroy is the worst for this) is unnecessary and often leads to dangerous situations where we often concede, or come close to it. 

I'm not sure what level of keeper you and Gas think CTFC should have? We are L2, he's a decent L2 level goalie. If he was brilliant, he wouldn't be playing for us would he? He's the best we've got. He always gives 100%, and does the job he's paid to do - stops goals. You are always so quick to defend our owners - a real pity you can't give the same consideration to Corey.
