Except we've created the 6th most expected goals in the Championship from corners, so they're probably pretty good. The fact is that corners are a very low percentage chance of a goal 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I read that - does that mean we're simply not finishing the chances when they get sent in? I watched Bannan's corners in the last match and they were really good/dangerous but no players came steaming in to finish them 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernOwl24 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Have thought our corners have been terrible for ages. During play BB can pinpoint a pass but on set pieces his kicking seems really weak. Love BB think hes great but corners are shocking - he cannot seem to get the height. Then when he went off the other game Vaulks (I think) was on them and he was worse. I actually thought the two/ three near post corners from Vaulks was a ploy to get Plymouth to commit to that corner freeing up space for a corner later on but that seems so farfetched. Need to keep it simple in my opinion - all defenders around 8 yards out and stick it in the middle. After we master the simple ones lets go for the complicated ones. Change corner taker - someone on here mentioned Johnson which could be a good idea but not seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As we always hit the first man, why don’t we have a big lad run to the front post for a flick on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Johnson is the best crosser of a football we've got He should be on set pieces.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Vaulks delivered 3 corners in a row against Plymouth in the 2nd half that Darren Potter would have been proud of. Awful deliveries. Edited March 13 by owlZfan84 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geörge Whitebread Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If we don't sort this out, we might as well just let them have a goal kick and start again. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Wylde Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Corners. They’re a facet of football where there’s an almost inexplicable amount of excitement generated upon winning one, especially when considering only between 3-4% of them end as a goal – well below the average conversion of, say, a penalty kick (76%), right? A quote that gets relayed in nearly every corner-kick analysis feature, but worth reiterating again, is José Mourinho’s infamous line: “How many countries can you think of where a corner kick is treated with the same applause as a goal? One. It only happens in England. This is the only place where a corner kick is as good as a goal for the fans.” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Bannan's corners in the last match and they were really good/dangerous but no players came steaming in to finish them Honestly, I think it's a bit of both tbh. Our deliveries are often a bit meh, but then I don't see enough of our players really attacking the ball and making the most of it. We have quite a big side, and yet we rarely seem to cause much trouble for the opposition with corners, set plays etc. Suppose Famewo had that headed goal against Rotherham wrongly disallowed which was from a Vaulks freekick.
