BCFC Rich Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 According to the Dean Holden Pre-Sunderland press conference Opta show we have scored the most at attacking set pieces this season. IT surprised me as don't tend to think of us being particularly good at that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Indeed. You always expect us to be shovelling in loose balls from 3 yards during a 6-yard-box ruck. World class free kicks and lovely moves tend to be for other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider-Head23 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 It helps that we no longer have Luke Freeman over free kicks/corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the best set piece player we’ve had for a long time. Why do you think Aden scored all those goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Aden scored all those goals? I'd don't imagine we've have sold a player if he was so called 'the best set piece player we've had for a long time' Agreed in league one he set up alot of Flinty's goal, but for City in the championship he couldn't beat the first man on most corners nor did we score from many of his free kicks and he ran round in circles when trying to take on a man. I wish him the best don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see he's doing reasonably well in a bang average championship side in QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Freeman's corners were often very high with not a great deal of pace, but accurate. Championship defenders eat up those balls for breakfast, whereas League 1 defenders struggled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An accepted norm is 2.5 - 3.2 goals from every 100 corners. Aden Flint goal scoring record v that is phenomenal. He is so effective it is absurd, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to o back and watch a Flint highlight reel from 14/15 to see if my memory serves me correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
