Corner kicks

[BaysideMariner]

I am sure that there is a statistic out there. But I cannot remember the last time that when we got a corner kick that I was confident that we would score a goal. It seems that we just hit it into a spot and hope for the best. Do we even practise corner kicks in practise?

 

[Tevor]

Simple game plan against us is just conceded a corner because we are a minimal threat, poor kicks generally and no targets that are even a remote threat.

Exactly what i said while watching.

Last week was poor defending ball was way over Rose head.

We have no height or physicality hence we try back stick and short corners.

We should just shoot from the corner

Saying if we have no clue why do we have 2 goals from corners. I think

 

[Wombat]

f**king hell.......2 goals from 700 corners is not a result. And the Rose bear hug was just stupid defending as he wasnt going to win the ball.
Our corners are pathetic. Monty shouldnt be taking them but its only a matter of practice to put the ball where you want it. Maybe we need to practice abit more.
Craig Johnstone was a pretty basic player but due to his non stop practice he became one of the best crossers of a ball in England.

we haven't had a decent corner kicker since Brad "Chicken" Porter

 

[greenlig]

Yeah not sure what's going on there. I think we genuinely don't have a good crosser in the club atm. I thought Fab would be better but he just floats them in. You'd imagine Galloway or Storm could curl something, but they are never around it. Seems odd, but look at us with any set pieces, no-one has a dangerous whip to their kicks.

Who took the corner for our first in the 2013 GF?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Weemac I think.

Believe it was one Michael McGlinchey...

Do agree that our corners have been mostly rubbish.

 

[style_cafe]

Pain should be taking them.
At 4`8" tall he`s very unlikely to out jump anyone so he may as well take them

 

[Wombat]

Monty's corners were better on Sunday but he still had almost no one looking to get on the end of anything.

 

[style_cafe]

I`d be trying a few short corners, or driving them in low & hard with our players trying to flick the ball on or get a deflection.
This hand up or two hands up bullshit has to stop.
Monty just hits the same corner every time & we haven`t scored from any of them

Buhagiar has put in some terrific crosses, would like to see him given a go on the corners.
