King Kevin Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Dunno , but after the Man Utd game we obviously practiced penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 No never. We also don’t practice defending or attacking. i have it on good authority that Lamps has them sitting in a circle holding hands for most of training! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key clubber Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I would hope so,but the fact is we’re not blessed with that much height so don’t really win many headers , maybe the odd one with Keogh , but that could go anywhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 What's the chance of scoring from a corner. 3.2% One in 33. I'd say we do, but we might as well teach Bradley Johson to pass ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say we do, but we might as well teach Bradley Johson to pass ? Basically this. Hardly any corners ever result in a goal for anyone, and with our team of skillful midgets we're not likely to overturn those percentages. If we were a Tony Pulis or Gary Rowett team and we were reliant on them as a method of scoring, this would be a concern to me, but we're not, so it doesn't.

Millenniumram Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Weirdly at the start of the season we were the best at taking set pieces that we’ve been in the years I’ve been watching imo. Reverted to type, but we’ve barely scored from any for years so is anyone really surprised? Need to get Wilson off corners mind, which Lampard realised second half, Mount is much better.

Anag Ram Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 No point pumping it in the air. We just don't have the personnel. Should vary it by playing it short or dragging a few back to the 18 yard box where we know we have players who can bang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 When we had Hinton turning them in to Hector, O’Hare and MacFarland we could anticipate a goal, but what are the odds against a combination like that in a team? Maybe once in a lifetime! (Well, mine anyway!) It was poetry to watch. The England team line of four to receive the corner was impressive in Russia but always ran the risk of a breakaway goal with five players stranded. Practice by all means but don’t become predictably stereotypical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 We've tried the variety a few times but he third man often seems to be Bogle. Put someone better as the third man and it may work. Agree we should mix it up, but only if we're pretty sure it ends up as a ball into the box. We spend 90 minutes creating situations to get the ball in, then when you get a 'free' chance we don't. Need to make sure it comes in with quality and the defenders are less settled hence the short corner routine. Problem is, fans will moan like they moan when we pass it across the back four.

angieram Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 It always makes me laugh when we all applaud like crazy every time we win one, given the very slight possibility that the ball will end up in the back of the net. Right, that's sorted at least one of today's goals for. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
