Anyone think the club's hierarchy are questioning... 16:03 - Oct 22 with 1684 viewscbower

The impact of Mark Hudson? Both defensive and offensive set pieces are atrocious.

It seems to be from attacking corners, aim for the first man and hope someone gets in front of the defender. Or float one deep and hope something happens after the first contact.

From defensive corners I can't help there, it's beyond comprehension!

I still can't fathom why, when we're chasing the game we insist on putting all of our players in our own box when defending a corner. It's not as though the numbers are helping.

Leave one or two up and we might get a break, we might also be able to stop the ball coming straight back in on the rare occasion when we do manage to clear it.

Set pieces are a shambles.

Edit: Multiple changes every game obviously don't help with practising them.

I agree in general, though we have scored from corners in our previous two games before last night.

Indirect free kicks are a complete wash out though.

Clarke put a few decent inswingers into the danger zone in the first half and we simply don't bother attacking it. On other occasions, Greaves won a few but he was actually stretching backwards, arching to reach it but not attacking it with true forward momentum.

Responsibility for all of a performance on the pitch sits with the manager as it always had done. Outsourcing coaching a part of that performance does not remove that responsibility for good or bad results.

Veni Vidi Participatur. Now we can get back to competing.

There have been some really well worked set pieces which would have led to goals had we not missed chances, on top of the Norwich and Boro goals which were well executed.

Quite why we've lumped casual balls into the box like before Charlton's break for the second or at Bristol City I don't know.

We were also very good at defending set pieces last season when Muric played. Like many things we've not really got that back after the second half of last season.

Based on the following and my memory:
https://www.thestatsdontlie.com/football/uk-ireland/england/championship/corners

We have scored 3 goals (Greaves vs Derby, Kipre vs Scum and O'Shea vs Boro) from Corners out of a total of 67 in the League. That's 4.4%

According to Opta, the average conversion in the Championship hovers around 3-4%. Essentially we are just slightly above average in our attacking corners. Although I admit it feels much worse, especially last night. Don't have the wherewithal to get the free kick equivalents, but I'm pretty sure we've got none from any of our attempted crosses?

One of the 'best' teams with the best resources in the league should be well above average. That's the problem. We've set ourselves up in such a way that average is far below what's acceptable.

We got the first contact on a lot of ones last night as well but didn't do anything with them. Don't think attacking corners is actually that big of an issue for us - as you say the free kicks are another matter, and we look pretty ropey at defending corners in both 1st and 2nd phases.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

At one point last night it felt a bit like we were determined to let everybody have a go at taking a corner.

I'd have though consistent delivery would help, getting used to the one or two taking them and how they deliver them.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Clarke's and Nunez's first half corners were okay. Second half Philogene and Leif took them and they were poor. Why change ?

In previous games Ashley Young’s delivery from set pieces was so much better than anyone else. He was in the team on Tuesday yet wasn’t used to take any of the multiple corners that never really challenged Charlton’s defence.

There is very little evidence the set piece coach is earning his salary.

It was interesting that we had a host of takers tho

Clarke. Philogene. Davis. Nunez.

Varied takers. But many similar corners.

You're confusing share of the goals with conversion rate, which are completely different statistics.
