I noticed the other week that our manager has put Rory Delap in charge of set pieces. www.stokecityfc.com/news/2020/july/Manager-praises-Delap-s-set-piece-nous/I also noticed that we are suddenly a crack team on set pieces, with almost every goal coming from a corner, free kick or throw in. Sam Clucas has suddenly mastered the whipped in corner to the danger zone, rather than his gentle wafts to the first man, and Danny Batth has morphed into Leon Cort. It's about time. I don't like a post I wrote two years ago being resurrected to make another megathread when a new post would have sufficed

You'd imagine Rory would've picked up a lot of information in this area considering he spent many years working under a manager in TP who focused on set pieces a lot,

Great player for us, now showing he could become a great coach for us too.

Would love a midfielder with his defensive brain in the side now.

Well done to everyone Delap for specialising The players for executing them O'Neill for being smart enough to recognise an asset (Rory) and give him his head.
Lory of managers only allow their staff, their men to flourish and are wary of anyone already at the club

But under Michael, NI's set pieces were a bit good too!

we should go for is son on loan I wonder if it would go against us actually. While it's likely useful to have a father in the business in general, it can't be easy to make a name for yourself under your father's coaching. It probably wouldn't be popular with the squad either,

Championship teams, on average create 13% of their xG from corners and 6.5% from other set pieces.
In 2018/19 we created 14% of our total xG from corners, but next to nothing (3%) from set pieces.
In 2019/20 under MON we're holding steady around 13% from corners, but we've upped the contribution from set pieces to just over 10%
That would rank us 5th best out of 144 teams for the contribution made by set pieces in a (part) season since 2014/15 in the Championship. Last season, 2018/19 we were ranked 140th out of 144 for set piece chance creation.

Batth's been on the end of just under a quarter of the 31 chances created from set pieces under MON & over half of the assisting final pass has come from Clucas, McClean or Smith. The attempts have been pretty evenly split between shots and headers & seven have been deemed as big chances.

As opposed to Berahino, who was a very overt weapon.

Is that comment based on your professional coaching badges and experience of coaching at or above EFL standards.

I'd take a wild stab at that being a shadow session for the camera. There's no way a professional football coach would put on a session as bad, stodgy and as disorganised as that.

I was expecting more organisation than that, but admittedly I’m not a coach. It just reminds me of my old footie training as a lad, just pinging crosses and corners in.

The energy and intensity largely comes from other sessions.

I haven’t watched it but my first thought when I saw it was that you wouldn’t want to put an actual set piece training video online for the league to see. It makes no sense. So I presumed it’d be something basic and that we wouldn’t mind showing whilst the proper stuff is done with no mics and cameras. May be naive thinking with our lot but that was definitely what I thought.

Do you really think we’d post video on YouTube showing our set piece routines for next season? The only thing “cringeworthy” about this is the acting prowess on display. Not as bad as Laurence Fox, mind.

We got to hope you’re right but ….. I’ve long suspected that our “training” is a nothingness. It’s the only way to explain the performance week in, week out on the pitch. Why it should be that way, I have no idea. But it’s down to MON whatever the reason is.

Hard to understand the point of any of that or why it's been made available for public consumption. Clearly it won't represent our match dead ball routines.. or should I say I certainly hope it doesn't. Weird waste of time on all fronts.
