NottsRam77 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Sat there yesterday and I won't lie I groaned with the other 26 odd thousand when we dollied yet another corner into their keepers arms. turned to my dad and joked if we had a 100 corners how many do u think we would actually score, had a bit of a chuckle with those around us and then depression and realisation sunk in, How many would we actually score ? this isn't a new thing either, take sir jake out of the equation when was the last time we looked a threat on corners, u can actually open that up and say set pieces in general but how many out of a hundred do u think we would score, and how many closeys? this could get depressing lol I'm going for 3 goals with 6 closeys 43 dollied into the keepers arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Rawson scored from a corner in pre-season and again against PSV this week. It can still be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I said on here early doors last season that we wouldn't score direct from a corner until Buxton came back into the team. Technically I was wrong because we've scored one, but only one, in 12 months of football. 0.5/100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The problem is more the delivery. Hughes and Buttfield float them in to much rather than whip them in. Coutinho showed how you deliver a corner last week. We don't have anyone who can take a set piece sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Can't find it today but last year on a stats site I found something that said only 6% of corners result in a goal, and having watched a lot of TV games that feels about right. So the excitement in the crowd at a corner is somewhat misplaced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Teams hardly ever score from corners* but fans love em. It's always been that way. It's far easier to defend a corner than a random attack and cross. Think about it; if your team lets in a goal from a corner then everyone goes berserk. Yet when we don't score from a corner, it's seen as failure. You can't have it both ways. When we were playing free flowing, scoring football a couple of years ago, it wasn't an issue as goals were coming from all over the option. Now we can't buy a goal so we're relying on corners; a bit like waiting for a lottery win to sort your life out. * except the toon v Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsRam77 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 So what's that 2 in the last 4 home games against ... Kinda matters doesn't it lol i do take your point on board but the amount we score from them compared to the amount we concede is very disproportional and has been for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's 3 as Newcastle scored twice from a corner and Liverpool once. It's a bit like the old 'how come the top teams get so many penos?'. It's because they attack more frequently in the box and make it more difficult for defenders. The chances of scoring from a corner are very very low. Then add to that, that we're a team who only scores once every 3 games, then it's odds on you'll be at a derby game where don't even blummin score, never mind from a corner!

Oh I forgot about their second one lol, I think i tried to blank the end of that game from my memory. Infect I'm doing my best to blank most of this of this season out lol so thats 3 against in the last what 5 games or whatever and how many did we score all of last season when we finished in the play offs and one of the better sides in the league so doing more atracking as u say my point is we don't seem to score as half as many as others do against us, and I genuinely never feel like we're going to score from corners or set pieces as our delivery is purely atrocious in the main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 The only time I'm excited when we win a corner is just before half time, the extra 2 minutes at the bar is handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when you put it like it's no reason we struggle, set pieces are a key part of the game and if we can't utilise them we're shooting ourselves in the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 And yet we've conceded 3 in last 5 outings or whatever it is. maybe this dragging everyman his dog back for corners isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
