Why are we so bad at them. Today was dreadful. Short corner after short corner then ballon corner with no pace no precision and no threat. The biggest threat we are on a corner is to ourselves with a possible breakaway goal. Other teams deliver hard fast and attack the ball. I honestly think its wirth kicking it two yards for a goal kick so we can get set defensively.
Defensively we were poor. Any manager in the play off will win with the simple tactic of getting Dunne isolated 1:1 and then having him skinned. I like the bloke but he is badly badly struggling. |  | | |  |

We haven't been any good at them since Venables was manager.
I have a long rant that I'm fond of about Rangers 'winning' corners, but I'm too apathetic to go into it now. All I'll say is that I refuse to get excited when one of our ten attacks per game ends up being snuffed out and our only consolation is a set piece that gives us a chance of scoring of approximately one in a trillion. |  |

I'm even more concerned at the number of soft goals we concede from corners. I have no idea what our strategy is. It's neither man-for-man nor zonal and no one is on the posts.
Since the 10th of February we have conceded from corners against Derby, Reading, Charlton, Brighton, Blackpool and Bournemouth. That's 6 out of 12 games. [Post edited 5 Apr 2014 21:48]

I have to say we have let a few in recently as we have not had a man on the posts, which I think personally u need to defend at least one if not both posts. |  | | |

The Padula/Shittu combination was good.
What I don't understand is surely taking corners is one of the easiest things to work on in training and improve. I can only presume we don't actually practice them. |
Good call, I was just thinking about how dangerous Gino's corners were! Is that the last time we were any good at them? Cookie and Rowly were OK at them, weren't they? My memory fails me.
In a perverse way, I find our consistently appalling corners strangely uplifting. This is because I know that even though I am a distinctly average 49 year old playing 8 a side once a week plus a competitive 11 a side game every couple of months, I can consistently deliver a better corner than my blue and white hooped idols. It's not hard, though, is it?
