If there is a thread for this already fair dos but i cant see one. The corner taking is fully dreadful atm. I am fat, late forties and pretty damn unfit and i could take better corners than most of the current takers which is mad really.
Why is this? Surely someone can damn well take them? I know it's not necessarily the most important thing in a match but jeez sort it out

I'm hoping this is out of date now.
It's been an issue, but I reckon it's something we've been working on.
This will be the season of the set piece.
Fingers crossed.

There was a corner against boro ( the first one?) where we had a couple of players on their keeper. Whipped the ball into their six yard box and nearly scored.
Was a decent corner kick. Can we have some more of these please.
How hard can it be to impede the keeper and whip the ball into their six yard box??

If we can get Crouch to cross them for Bojan that should sort it..
We are Stoke we never do anything the easy way.

We don't seem to pay attention to detail enough . I would love to know what a weeks training consists of and how many hours they work

And do you remember when we scored goals from corners? Is it because in those days we had Ryan and Huth posing additional threats? Harder to mark two big guys. And Ryan doesn't seem to score from corners any more.

And Ryan doesn't seem to score from corners any more. Always seemed to me that abdoulaye Faye and huth did more of the scoring from corner kicks than Ryan. Although he did have that one against 10 man Hull two seasons ago. |

I don't understand all this moaning about set pieces. 100% of our goals this season are from set pieces this season. 😜

I was very sceptical of that corner routine we tried at first (probably due to Bojan kicking the ball out of play twice more than anything ) With the right delivery and a referee who doesn't see imaginary fouls against the keeper it could cause havoc. And at least it dispells anther myth.That we don't practice set plays,of which incidentally,our last 2 league goals have been  |

For all Bojans skills, his corner taking on Sat. was truly woeful.
How hard can it be to get a ball into the 6 yard box?
