    1 goal from half a season of attacking fitbaw??? think that quantifies us as utter pish at corners :38::38:

    why are we so pish........oh that's right our defence has been pish for 2 years and any c*nt who manages us is too bothered signing midfielders.

    also that might answer the corner problems, no brave, tough dominating defenders to get in the box and steal a goal like big f*cking bobo who we could still use now

    i dont think we are * at corners. i think that, unlike us, other teams actually know how to defend corners.

    I remeer we always socred from corners/set-plays. It's too rare now. We have some hieght, enough height for at least one player to get on to a corner. It's pish.

    I know Rogne scored from a set piece, but our goal threat in the box at corners is nothing short of atrocious tbh.

    all our corners have mainly been out-swingers which imo work just as good as zonal marking or dayryl murphy ,the only goal i remember us scoring from a corner was rangers which was a in-swinger by ki

    no one atacks the ball. Larsson was a master at it, knowing when to jump and meeting the ball at ur highest point, Everyone just jumps and hopes for the best now

    About corners I can tell you considering the % of how many times Majstorovic gets contact on the ball from them he is in my opinion undoubtedly an additional defender for the opposition, he is utterly hopeless, and unfortunately benificial to them not us! :87:

    Our strategy at corners is basically for everybody to stand together then run as a group towards the ball that has been floated into the 6 yard box and try and force it into the net like a * battering ram, it's absolute joke of a way to try and score a goal and almost never results in the goalkeeper or defenders being troubled even the slightest.

    We dont have a Nakamura type who can swing the ball in and we lack height as well,it is frustrating when you see a keeper makin easy catches time after time and takin the pressure off our attacks...
