Title: Training this week......
Post by: VofD on March 17, 2012, 10:51:55 PM
should concentrate on making better use of corners, in light of how many we had today which yielded nothing. ??? ??? ???

In fairness, how many corners do yield anything from the lowest to the highest leagues in the world?

A lot more than you think. We just don't seem to score any goals from any variation of a corner. ??? ??? ???

Put curling ball in box, get people to run at it including big centre halves who may get a free header.

Unless you want to do short corners which invariably lead to opposition teams breaking away there is no point in being to fancy.

Corners were OK today and forces the evergreen Bastock into a couple of saves.

My point was we created chances from corners.  The fact they weren't buried into the top or bottom corner is not the fault of the corner, perhaps more to do with the level of football we watch.   

Seriously you'll not drag me down tonight, its was a great performance, great endeavour and we were unlucky not to get three points.

If you want to focus on corners instead then thats up to you.

That would be our shooting that was at fault then, not the corners. Seems to me that as the corners often led to missed chances they were being executed pretty well.
