Owls Loyal Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We have not been strong at dead ball set pieces since the Reda/Miguel Liera era. I have been very disappointed recently in Bannan's corners and on Saturday his free kick delivery. Surely we need a right footer taking corners down the left hand side to swing the ball in. Bannan constantly overhit the outswinging corners last night. A change is needed in who takes the corners and free kicks in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest addedtime Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) So, is it who delivers it or attacks it? Not sure Reda was a "deliverer"! Edited February 13, 2019 by addedtime missing word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Completely agree. When joey had a go at a corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I would agree. I think it's almost pointless us being awarded a corner. And don't get me started on the 5 yard sideways freekick.... (cue some statto proving me wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 Just to clarify Reda and Miguel Liere were great at scoring from set pieces. Yes, we do not possess players with that ability but imo we are not maximising the opportunity with Bannan taking nearly all the corners and free kicks. We need to mix it up a bit.

billyblack Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Surely fox, boyd, reach, FF should be taking corners. Shouldnt they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be over the half way line. Boyd can’t cross the road. Reach maybe but like him around the edge of the box for loose balls. FF never consistently delivered. As said aid would be nice to have someone who can really deliver at dead balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_wells Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Joey is the best corner taker at the club currently - by some distance. Thats genuine, too, just in case anyone thinks otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Who would have thought it was so hard to put a decent cross in to the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Laazar is meant to be good at set pieces, I'm hoping that he starts taking them once he starts playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the thing they call a 'goal scorer' ? I heard of one of those once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I don't think our players would get on the end of any good deliveries anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickjj Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Found it interesting at Chelsea when we were awarded the non penalty that Bannan was preparing to take it when Fletcher who has scored all the pens he has taken for us and also Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
