beaverface Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The players must know how rubbish the short corners are now? The reason I mention this is because when we were chasing the game, they stopped fannying about and put the ball straight into the middle and created chances! They know deep down that getting over is our best chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Frustrating isn't it? Along with the rugby style kick off and the tenancy to waste free kicks by taking quickly and tapping it sideways along the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I was amazed they went to rush a corner, played it short with about 3 Sheffield united players closing them down straight away, take your time and put a decent ball in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fka dagest Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Does SOD even look at corners during the week? There was one point when both of our forwards, Baldock & JET were both buggering about in the corner without either, let alone one, of them being in the actual box. It's not good enough.

beaverface Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Does SOD even look at corners during the week? There was one point when both of our forwards, Baldock & JET were both buggering about in the corner without either, let alone one, of them being in the actual box. It's not good enough. Particularly when SOD places so much emphasis on areas of play which you can control. He quotes that 30% of the time (or something like that) the ball is out of play, so we can then get organised - so why doesnt he apply this logic to corners?

Carey 6 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The free kick we do where a player taps it a yard so jet can run onto it also frustrates me, the walls gained 3/4 yards by the time he's got to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman-is-god Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 The players must know how rubbish the short corners are now? The reason I mention this is because when we were chasing the game, they stopped fannying about and put the ball straight into the middle and created chances! They know deep down that getting over is our best chance. To be fair when we unthinkingly swing the ball in direct from a corner we are no more successful. We have been terrible at set plays since the play-off season in the championship. When we had McCombe at the far post and Elliott attacking the 2nd ball we were great in that season but gone completely off the boil since then. I guess SOD is just trying something different, hardly as if the alternative was working, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Baldock also took about 3 throws today I'd fine him every time he did this. But then again I'd also fine him for fannying around to put the ball on his right foot when he's clean through. Early and hard gets the goals.

KevP Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Our set pieces = ZERO threat. Opposition set pieces = MASSIVE threat. Who the hell trains our lot..???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 We get the odd goal from direct corners. Ball in the box will always scare defenders and all sorts of mayhem may ensue. In all the time I've watched them I can only think of one we scored from a short corner. Too many touches and we get closed down. We'll take free kicks from further out directly, so why not corners? Sort it out SOD! While we're on the subject, how insane is it to have our two main goalscorers over by the corner flag, rather than in or just outside the box? Pack or Moloney can take the corners. Not either of those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
