Modge Owl Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 When was the last time we scored from a corner? Almost scored? We had 8 last night and in tight games, set piece gosls can really make the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger Guns Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I can only think of Tom lees' 2 goals early in the season. It's definitely a weakness of ours. Like you say it can be the difference between 1 point and 3 in tight games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I remember we scored 1 vs Bristol City on the opening day. A lot has been said on here about the small height of our squad and that is probably where it is most evident. Only Adthe or Joao might be taller than most defenders.

swfc1983 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Don't think it's the quality of the delivery but we don't seem to attack the ball like we used to when we had Reda and Rob Jones. All our current players seem to wait for the ball to come to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Our best crosser was on the bench last night so that must have not helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelswfc Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I normally hate short corners but our players are skillful enough to make them work. Worked against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 2 from free kicks one from open play. Nope you're wrong, our second was from a corner. Bannan to Wallace, crossed to Joao who scored with the header. https://youtu.be/T2dNjFWw9Wg?t=81 (exact link to the replay) I normally hate short corners but our players are skillful enough to make them work. Worked against Arsenal. Was a 25 yard pass, surely not classed as a short corner ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 You need to be able to mix it up. Short corners played quickly and corners into the box. Our delivery into the box is shocking and it should be a given that every footballer should have the ability to put in a decent ball. Some of ours struggle to beat the first man. Also all options should be covered i.e near post, middle of box and back post. We also struggle to pick up any second balls that drop around the edge of the box so more work is needed here. There seems to be a snobbery towards set pieces with the footballing connoisseurs opting for short passes. A set piece is a great opportunity to put the opposition under pressure.

FlyingOwl Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Forestieri and Lees scored from corners vs Preston Lees vs Bristol Joao vs Arsenal All I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellybean Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 In't the early 90s it used to be 🎵OOOH it's a corner🎵 now a days it's "oh,it's a corner" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMX Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Forestieri's first three goals came from corners. Vs Hull was debatable but still counts I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike312 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Commented on this last night. Nearly every cross we did last night went to their keeper or to no-one. I don't think Hooper is the type to break his neck trying to get on the end of crosses, Joao and Atdhe should be though with their size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
