Why Are We So Poor In The Air Every Single Game?

[CW 90+3 02/05/16]

Is it as simple as the teams height or a training issue or the type of players we have?

Happens every single home game but was actually laughable how many aerial challenges we lost yesterday.

Too many small players I reckon. Low was looking for a freekick yesterday when he stooped to header the ball and the Killie player kicked his head, but his head was only at knee height!! 

We can all see our squad is very lightweight and I can't see this working out long-term (in a league of hammer throwers).

Beyond me how many times our strikers think defenders are simply going to allow them to bring it down on their chest.

No sneddee, I was just highlighting that we simply can't please all the people even some of the time.

Half the posts on here are slating the passing game, the other half saying we hoof the ball too much.

Completely agree. We are not set up for long ball. Although a little variation in attack makes it harder for the opposition to negate.
