110 Corners 22:55 - Jan 25 with 4334 viewsTenbySwan

Stat on Sky tonight.
We have had a 110 corners so far this season and no goals, and to be fair not wishing to detract from a decent overall performance didn't really look like breaking this duck tonight.

We need to be much much better at set piece, it starts with the delivery, but we need players to know when to sick and when to go in the area, when we come up against the bigger teams its difficult.

But you are detracting from it. I saw the stat...we all saw the stat. It's actually not how we play...we are not something like Stoke used to be..where they (Pulis) would look to steal goals...because basically they were donkeys. We play football..

Absolutely not detracting from tonight the stat is for all season. We have in the past scored good goals from corners. And then there are things like the legendary Sheringham corner with the ball played to the corner if the box.
There are different things we can try other than lumping the ball in.

This, with either hit the first man defending or it flies straight out behind or other side of the field for a throw, they need to spend a couple of sessions a well practising set piece moves, as it is, at the moment it doesn't seem that we practice any set-piece plays.

Grimes can't take a decent corner. From what I have seen so far the Wolf won't be any better.

Grimes can't take a decent corner or free kick, the others must be shocking for him to still be on them. The stats for him are damning.

You don’t have to play like a Pulis side to score from a corner. It’s set piece preparation and tactical implementation.

Barca score from corners and free kicks too, it’s not a negative.

Among top leagues the average corners to goals rate is around 3-4%, with short corner routines tending to be slightly more successful than lumping it straight into the box. Sides set up to take advantage of set pieces may nudge that closer to 6 or 7% in a good year, but footballing sides tend to win more (Man City and Liverpool both with well over double Burnley's count so far this season).

Nothing from over 100 attempts is poor, just because we've not got many big lads on the pitch doesn't mean we shouldn't score a few goals. Stats say we've won 4.4 per game this season. Over 46 games that's 200 corners. 6-8 goals missing.

At least we don't concede most of them like we did under Potter.

The corners last night were all taken by Wolf.
Quality worse than that of Grimes.

For as long as I can remember we’ve been crap at corners.

There is only 1 season that I can recall when I think it was Melville and knill as the central defenders when one would flick it on at the near post for the other in the middle of the box to score. Can’t remember the year.

Mind you that big step up onto the pitch at the vetch never used to help.

Any professional footballer should be embarrassed if they can’t beat the first man when taking a corner. There are pub league players week in week out that take better corners.

We had better seasons in the PL taking corners Mawson scored quite a few.

We even scored a few goals from corners under Cooper in the last two seasons.

It's a limitation of the coaching personnel assigned to set pieces.

I don’t think there’s much working with Grimes’s delivery but besides Ben Cabango or Piroe who can we honestly say is willing to attack the ball in the box?

You would have thought the team would work on their set play deficiencies in training.
Not sure of the stats, but we seem to lose at least 50% of our throw ins as well.

Would help if we stopped taking pointless short corners which come to nothing. Put the ball in the mixer because the odds over a season a defender will put the ball in the back of his own net and you will get decent ricochets from badly timed clearances etc.

Even when you know, you never know?

It sometimes feels like we're more likely to concede than score from our corners.

Most corners we end up passing it back to our keeper.
