Sket 13,610 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Our corners have been dreadful for years. Free kicks as well but at least we've seen slight improvement in them this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1NachoNovo 840 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Short corners were doing my head in, but then today wee Baz kept punting a high ball to the back post. All but one was easily defended and the other one went out for a throw in. Our tactics at corners is just woeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I can't stand short corners.  It's a chance to put a ball In the box and that's what we should be doing.  Aberdeen terrorised Celtic from corners the other night and I'm sure we can do the same to teams.

Neil McCann commented about something similar today Think he was talking about McKay when he gets the ball out wide. Instead of short passes around the box, you don't have to pick out a man, whip the ball into an area. Keep doing that and the forwards and midfield will start running into the box to get on the end of them. It becomes second nature and chances will be created. Couldn't agree more.

rossDas 1,071 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 No fan of short corners, but putting floaty crosses into the box with no target man is like trying to masturbate with broken wrists: futile. Â With the short corners we can play to our strengths and with less exposure to the counter-attack; we really could do with having both options to keep things fresh.

Essandoh 21,207 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Would love to see the stats of how many goals we've scored from short corners compared to long ones into the box. Short memories it seems. It's done is great this season but people are too impatient to realise that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,238 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Our corners have been shite for years, the corner a defender hates most is a corner that is whipped in with pace, we can't seem to be able to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Weve consistently scored from short corners all season. I'd much rather keeping the ball than crossing considering most other teams will be bigger than us in terms of height. Floated corners are used because again we don't have the height. If their defenders try to head a floated ball the furthest it'll go is the edge of the box allowing us possession or a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Actually thought we had a bit of variation with our corners today. Couple in the first half were right off the training ground. I also thought we slung in more corners than we normally do. My issue has been bringing centre halves up then not even bother getting a cross in. I expect centre halves to chip in with a few goals, ours on the whole don't get many opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 SayING for months hat these floaty crosses are easy to defend and murder to attack. Â Not all need to be whipped in but that type of cross with pace puts the defense under more pressure. Corners think we take short corners cause we don't seem capable of getting quality balls into the box. Â Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietspam 733 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Remember the last 3 years when we could barely get the ball off the ground. Yeah. These corners are fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Tav's freekick from the corner of their box today shows the panic that's created from a whipped in ball. Any one of three could/should have got the touch to put it in and the Killie defence was nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxterboy 476 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 bin complainin' 'bout the pussy corners all season. Barrie is absolute fucking shite at them. he should be fined for them. Forrester looks like he can hit them with pace and curve. Tav has the skill to do the job as well. hoping MO'H has the skill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutchy 1,200 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm very unhappy at this short corner shite as well, but in order for whipping in crosses to work successfully, you need players in the box to benefit from the mayhem that can ensue. It's pointless if the opposition keeper just runs out and plucks it out of the air with no one to challenge him at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
