Would a good old fashioned late 90s corner routine 10:56 - Sep 20 with 884 viewsBlue_Uprising

Do better than whatever it is we do?
Genuinely think players actually moving and running into the ball might seriously confuse current players. Time for the ancient knowledge to be revived?

I'd start with players who can deliver a set piece to the point that they are aiming it. 3 of our 4 corners yesterday were utterly useless, either straight to the first man, or massively over the back. Their disallowed goal came from getting the delivery in the right place. It should be relatively simple. Put the ball in a place where players can attack it in the air...

Our current goalkeeper wrestling routine is totally pointless, free out all day. O'Shea is excellent in the air yet we don't maximise his talent. Either we can't clear the first man or balloon it past the back post. Dead ball routines are things that can be practiced to perfection yet we appear to be making it up as we go along. Arsenal showed how lucrative dead routines can be. These things should be practiced to death as there is potentially a great return in doing them effectively.

I talk about this a lot. Watch ‘Retro ITFC’ page on FB. The number of Neil Thompson corners that lead to goals! Same run up, pace, accuracy, hitting a spot between the 6 yard box and the penalty spot. Wonderful stuff, get him on the staff now! No fancy ‘set piece coach’ needed, it’s The Emperors’ New Clothes. Thommo was the Guv!

I could be the corner coach. Option A near post header flicks it over the goalie for someone to head on at far post. Option B pull it back to someone running into space on the edge of the area. Would get more goals than what we do now

Doesn't seem to matter who our manager is, or coaching team, or players. We are rubbish from corners. Oh to see a short corner, or played to the edge of the box for someone to volley home.

They have gone downhill for a while, McKenna did say something like we don't rehearse these, the players come up with some of the routines on the fly

The Davis Chaplin telepathy and jedi mind tricks made it look like we were a lot smarter than we were

Who is set piece coach nowadays?

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

I don't think we look much more convincing defending them.

Our first 3 attacking Corners vs Everton didn't even get close to an Ipswich player.
