Zappa6995 3,686 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Plan B. We are that poor at attacking corners let's just put everyone in the box and hope it pays off. Unsurprisingly it didn't. Albion and five stars 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a team so poor of them would want someone back to get the inevitable clearance to restart the attack? From defensive point of view its inexplicable. Yilmaz needs taken off them his deliveries are appalling Totally agree. Could spot it a mile away and it’s ultimately what cost us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bam74 1,040 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 We've been shite at set pieces/corners for ages. Tav's 1 in 20 free kicks that go in seem to hide that fact. wully 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ally Scores Again! 502 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Said to the boy beside me we were very high at corners early doors Seems a ploy that they bring everyone back then attack at speed with an easy ball over the top No doubt we got suckered Our corners in general are poor and offer little threat with little variation other that trying to get it past the 1st man Albion 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

five stars 1,739 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looks like Clement had decided he didn't want extra time and penalties. Why else would you take such a gamble? We need more variety at corners and to be set up so were picking up the majority of headed clearances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely to fuck its something we should be looking at especially with the physical side and size of some of our players. Yup been happening for years, one minute we are in possession at a corner next the opposition are on our doorstep causing mayhem, last nights was particularly swift right enough only took seconds to do the damage.

VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,347 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 We are fucking rubbish at corners - used to have hope with Katic or Goldson attacking the ball but not now. Every corner against us gives me the fear, too many of our players are guilty of ball watching and leaving players unmarked. Definitely needs working on. kelvd1873 and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Robot 21,512 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 H&H saying Phil didn’t want a set piece coach as he believed he was competent enough himself. I think this is the wrong approach by him and it’s clear we’re really poor at them. I trust in Phil in most things but believe he has this wrong and to be competent at anything is knowing your own level and when to bring others in. I hope he gets some other input during the international break. scottyscott1963 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 23,234 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Need to two or three gathered round Goodson at a corner and then lift him into the air like those rugger chaps with the mis-shapen balls.

scottyscott1963 18,633 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Read a stat somewhere this week that out of over 240 set pieces we have scored 8 goals and 3 of them were from corners.

If it was the one posted on FF the boy said he made it up. im not sure if that was the exact numbers he used but they seem round about that. the % of goals scored from corners is absolutely minuscule btw with only a few teams bucking the trend. I want to say something like 5% leads to goals but I actually think it’s less than that. J-Maestro and scottyscott1963 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably have over 10 again today and there’s a good chance they’ll all be shite scottyscott1963 and Albion 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted E Bayer 490 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 With Clement admitting he likes set-pieces and will not bring in a specialist, I'm hopeful he just hasn't had time to implement his ideas because it feels like nothing has changed for years. Corners: Usual utter crap, the old one hand held above the head, sometimes two hands, by Tav or Yilmaz/Barasic and all too often it doesn't clear the first defender. Every single corner should be whipped into the 6 yard box with pace, right into the danger zone. with runners near post and back. Our corners are truly awful. Free kicks: Our free kicks have lacked creativity for years, too. Fair enough, if it's in range let Tav have a ping, he's proven he's more than capable. But the rest, surely we can come up with a few fresh ideas. Maybe quick thinking, quick freekicks, maybe some runners. Anything to mix it up.
