Spent most of the second half persuading people we'll beat Bristol away. Don't say that. We are moving their next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it looked well rehearsed yesterday and made perfect factual sense give the relative sizes of the teams. We were never going to score lobbing it into the box, far better to catch them out be playing it short and passing around them. Was impressed with them yesterday, clearly been worked on in training which is good to see. Because they prefer the way Stoke boot the ball up in the air, and then boot the ball down the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTFR Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Read a stat that was something like only 2 or 3 % of corners result in a goal. (football wide not derby). It's in line with shots from outside the box. The one good thing about short corners is, we bring 1 man out of the box, and they often bring two defenders out in reaction. Evens up the numbers in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 No issue with the short corners, and it does make sense when in general we are horrendous at attacking corners. I think a more even balance may help though, we finally got one to work, but you could tell first half Bolton knew it was going to Cole after we tried it about 4 times in 10 minutes. Lucky for us though, they clearly have short memories and forgot that's what we were going to do second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, against Bolton, they brought out 2 defenders and we continued to take it short without success. Just when I moaned to my mate that it wasn't working and we should link it in, to take advantage of less defenders in the box, it worked. Is quite easy to look stupid at times.

FindernRam Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The thing with short corners is you have to keep possession. If your CB's go up for the header and you lose the ball out on the wing you are very vulnerable to a quick counter, and they have players out already. Thought against Bolton we could have mixed it up a bit more. Better teams would have sussed it out much sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Cole received it on the edge, he'd cross it into the back post and set up to defend those crosses rather than the corners. What they didn't expect was for Cole to thread a through ball into Mount in the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
