Is Robins watching this and thinking "This is good, we should keep doing the same".

It's a fucking embarrassment.

Seeing Eccles being blamed constantly, majority tonight going into the far edge of 6 yard Box, with most players bunched at the near post, so who's at fault?

Why are players not spread throughout the box attacking the ball?

I'm not saying he's Beckham, but I don't see the attacking players doing much other than congregating at the near post?

The same thing happens every time we get a corner: the opposition heads it away. There is absolutely no pressure put on the opposition from an ariel perspective and as a fan who knows what's coming having seen it week in week out it's nothing more than going through the motions . The second the corner is floated in our players may as well run back to the half way line.

In training against our shit defenders Eccles corners probably look like Beckhams

Zero challenges on the CBs, n definitely zero at the far post/edge of 6 yard Box.

What are you watching. He can’t get the ball past the first defender, it barely makes the six yard box most times.

The majority of the corners aren’t that bad, no one appears to want to get on the end of them

Crosses in general. We are shit at them, but that's how the king wants us to play.

...? The ball going to the far corner of the 6 yard box.... repeatedly....

Then we switched it up to playing it short 2nd half.

The proof I’m afraid is in the pudding. Best ball delivered into the box was from McFadz of all people on the left in the first half which resulted in Sims’ effort being saved.

Reverting to taking short corners throughout the second half said it all. For a guy who specializes in passing sideways, you’d think that he’d be able to get at least one into a dangerous area. Garbage, every single time. Why the hell aren’t MVE or Da Silva taking them?

31 corners in the last two games.

Wow!

To be fair to Eccles he did deliver few that were ok but we just don't seem to have any sort of routine, nobody moving to the near post, nobody attacking the far post. Everybody just bunched waiting.

Take the corners away and Eccles was fine

We do need another player taking them though

We have far bigger problems than our corners, and I find the hysteria about them the last couple of games to be a bit weird tbh

Statistically we should have scored from one. It’s hardly the end of the world.

It's just another addition to the list of having no clue what to do and they have all been shit. Probably why people are pointing it out.

It's just another example of having little goal threat. Any opposition coach watching our corners will have minimal bother setting up to defend them

Two goals from Eccles corners in two matches.

Would love to see how many we have scored from his corners this season as opposed to last season from Hamer. Suspect it may be more.

They've improved massively.

The corners in the Boro game in particular were spot on

Funny how quiet people are about it though compared to the ridiculous comments before.
