Whilst some will not want to think about it, the current stats tend to suggest that Sean’s return on taking every corner and free kick is no longer up there.
The only Stanley player appearing in the top 50 ‘assists’ is Mitch Clark.

Obviously, the current dearth of natural strikers (note that both Charles and Bishop are in the top six scorers) affects McConville’s assists. However, if, as it seems, he’s picked mainly for his free kicks and corners but there is no return, it must beg a question about selection. This isn’t American football where a specialist goal kicker can be brought on for that one function.
