Genuine question. When did we last score from one?
We had the farce of another short corner today where we were offside immediately. And like about 500 corners this season everyone today was either waist height or didn’t beat the near post. Our corners have been so poor for the last 2 or 3 years now.
Makes me think we might as well just let the opposition keeper take a goal kick. |  | | |  |

That'll be the fine Glass-Salter effort in the meek surrender at Huddersfield, Shirley? |  |

This is one of the things that bugs me the most. I was no great footballer but I practiced free kicks and corners for hours till it eventually became my party piece. David Beckham used to get one of the keepers to stay behind after training at United and he would practice free kicks for another hour. If you practice the same skill over and over it becomes programmed into your brain. Look at how many hours tennis players practice hitting the same shot until it becomes second nature.
Our useless lot are just lazy and can’t be bothered improving it seems. Fcking over this current squad. Not fit to wear the hoops 😬 |  |

What stings more is Milwall scored the killer second goal from an excellent corner just as 10 minutes extra time was announced .
I have no idea what the set piece training is at our training but they might try with real nets because we are so bad its pathetic |  | | |

Funnily enough from the football I've watched this year the amount of goals from corners seems to have increased. Which just about sums us up as a club that we can't be bothered with them. | | | |

The percentage of corners that result in goals is usually around 3 or 4 percent. So from one in every 25 corners to one in every 33 corners. It'll be a bit higher for teams who actually practise and are good it. Take them out and the average comes down a little lower. We don't score many goals full stop, so it wouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn we're crap at scoring from corners, too – but then most other teams are, too. | | | |

Why do we let Paal and Chair take them all? The same with free kicks. Dozzell or Willock would be a great improvement. |  | | |

Me and my son were saying the same yesterday, pathetic set pieces !
Except for the Huddersfield game where we managed to get the ball into the box every time for their x4 six foot defenders to easily clear every time
Oh someone ask me about out throw ins ?? I would happily forfeit any throw we get as we generally lose possession straight after and put ourself under pressure

Excellent corner (Not) that Begovic should have dealt with very easily for a great Premiership goalkeeper!!!!
I was taught, a long time ago now, that if there is a two on one situation corner then a a short corner should be done, it gives several other options.......which is what proper footballer all over the park should want. | | | |

Seemed to be one of the few things Dozzell could actually do.
Needs to be better set piece planning offensively and defensively. |  |

Many decades ago I Was at the old Manor ground Oxford when we got a corner In the last minute, as the ball was expertly delivered into the box Rodney Marsh leapt up like a spring chicken thingy and headed the ball into the net and we won the game.
A few decades ago I was at Huddersfield's shit hole one delightful January evening when we get a corner in the last minute and Trevor Sinclair delivered a delicious ball into the box for the brilliant and much missed Alan McDonald to roar through the Huddersfield defenders and head the ball into the net thus allowing us to win the game.
One Saturday afternoon whilst taking In the delights of the away end at Sheffield Wednesday F.C. we get a corner much to the delight of nobody In particular, Up stepped the one and only Gregory Ronald St Clair Goodridge to take said corner, Gregory Ronald St Clair Goodridge's corner was duly delivered into the box and not only did It beat the first Man It actually disappeared out into the stratosphere returning after about 55 seconds before sailing of It's own free will into the Sheffield Wednesday F.Clubs net.
Deep joy.
They don't make them like that anymore. |  |

Short corners are an abomination and with the exception of Millwall away a couple of years ago, are ineffective and a complete waste. |  |

Under Venables we did the massed ranks outside of the box and all rush into the box in different directions and in the ensuing chaos invariably scored.
Now we just put Jimmy Dunne and or Sam Field on the keeper wait for the ref to have a word then as soon as the ball is delivered the ref blows for a foul! Inept and frustrating in equal measure! |  | | |
