Our set piece delivery is absolutely abysmal and needs to improve sharpish.
Have we got anyone who can deliver a decent deadball?

Well Junho certainly can't that's the sure. Not sure why he's taking them anyway he's never struck me as being a dead ball specialist.

I thought towards the end they got better.
In and around the 6 yard area.
We just weren’t attacking them.

For how many corners we had in the last 10 minutes or so it was really disappointing they seemed to get their head on every one.

It really does wind me up when I see other clubs like Derby for example scoring the majority of their goals from corners/set plays and we’re lucky if we beat the first man on so many of ours🤷♂️ |

Wilmcot scored a good goal from an excellent corner against Hull.

Best corner taker I've seen this season is Sidibe, different trajectory but dangerous.

We seem to have a run where we score a few over a few weeks then go ages before that run comes round again.

Luckily, we average less than four corners per match so far this season (second worst in the division) so it’s not a huge issue but valid nevertheless. When we do get one, they inevitably tend to be rather crap.

When we do get one, they inevitably tend to be rather crap. They are so important in tight games and we are notoriously bad at them, mainly because the delivery doesn’t give us a chance of winning the first contact. Oh for a Liam Lawrence or Matty etherington who could stick them on a sixpence. Whelan as well when he first arrived. |

Interesting article on the BBC. 20% of premier league goals are set pieces as so many of the bigger clubs employ specialist coaches (including throw-ins!). They claim Brentford were the originators. Not sure what Tone would make of that (overall 28% of premier league goals in 2011 were set piece). www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c99vm8mvvmzo.amp |
