FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP WITH THE SHORT CORNERS.
We attempted three short corners this evening and ended up in our own box within 30 seconds. | | | |  |

Makes no difference if short or long were poor at them need to start running in on them | | | |

if no one can make a decent cross the next best thing you can do is a short corner 1-2 and swing it in and hope someone touches it.
our players are not physically that strong, so we cant battle for the corners. | |

We cant even get it over the first man with a conventional corner so it is immaterial. | |

No we're a team of 11 stickmen, come on mun,
Wait outside the players entrance and ask Bony if he even lifts. | |

And JdG was nowhere to be seen.
That must have confused an awful lot of people. | |

What, you're saying that JdG isn't always the one at fault for our shit corners?!
Who'd have thunk it that it wasn't his fault? I thought everything that was shit in our play was down to him... You must be mistaken. | | | |

Couldn't agree with the OP more - and made the same point on the match thread. We had Ash, Chico and Amat who we could have pushed forward for a long corner, and I thought that was worth a shot. Indeed some of our defenders did come forward once or twice and were then left stranded when our inept short corner routines exposed us to immediate counter attacks. | | | |

We need better delivery from set pieces.We're very poor most games. [Post edited 11 Jan 2014 23:39]

If we don't have the physical presence
Why not try something DIFFERENT? How about we actually work on corners in training? | |

Anybody who blames these corners on any of our players is an idiot. The instructions for corners come from the manager. | |

Aye and they're supposed to be executed. | | | |

No doubt, but if they're not practised that often then don't be surprised if few of them come off. | |

Surely they must be practiced? We're a Premier League football side and it's been an issue all season and before.If it's not addressesd in that time then what the phuck is the coaching staff doing.Maybe it's the personnel. | | | |

That reminds me. Remember the corner routines we did under Sousa? Particularly the one where all 10 players run to the near post, stand there and then wait for the ball to booted over all of them?
Haha what a mess. | |

We don't practice corners in much the same way that West Ham don't practice passing triangles. It's not a fundamental aspect of the way we play so why bother wasting finite training time on them?
I suspect that's also one of the reasons why we're so suspect when it comes to defending them too. | |

Always nervous when likes of Ash and Chico go up for corners. Leaves big gap at back for counter attack, and although Ash often gets to the ball first in box- rarely hits target.
Just seems a risk not worth taking. Watched swans train many times and set pieces rarely feature. | |

We've been a team of short arses for years so corners were never an advantage for us.Under Sousa if we ever had a corner it would worry me as were were always susceptible to a counter attack.We do have a few big lads here now though and I'm sure they'd benefit from the occasional good ball in. | | | |
| Short Corners. on 00:08 - Jan 12 with 2692 views | Rancid |
Do you think that Bony would benefit from a decent corner? I do and if it isn't practiced enough in training just before we do our triangles then there's something wrong. | | | |

Winston I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not? Do you think we should be working on them? | |

I know we're pretty sh1te in general at set pieces, but that's a bit harsh on the players taking them.
If we genuinely have no one capable of delivering good set piece crosses, then time at training should be spent on short passes then accurate delivery with the odd set piece going long, just to keep the opposition guessing. | |

Haven't our only goal from a corner this season come from a short 1-2 and cross? | |

This isn't new, I remember a day at Chesterfield where Rory Fallon scored from a direct corner, and we were so shocked we sang, we f**ing scored from a corner! | |

I was going to say! We scored from a short corner against Hull. We never score from corners usually. We all know that. | |
