Didn't Dunne get one at Arsenal?
Come to think of it, how many headed goals have we scored this season?
Bannan's the best set-piece taker in our team. Every other delivery from him looks dangerous (to be honest, his hit-rate on dangerous set-pieces is better than Young's or Downing's was).

Sure he'll sometimes hit a 10p coin from 40 yards away, but often he's subject to the Ashley Young syndrome of not being able to clear the first man at corners.

Like most things, he's better when he's started the game. When he comes on as a sub, he obviously feels nervous and anxious to prove something, and so gets inconsistent and, often, over-ambitious. When he's started the game, he seems to ease into it better, and he does everything more consistently, including set-plays.
