Free kicks and corners (1 Viewer)

At the start of the season one of our main threats was Hamer free kicks/ corners with Leo on the end

Hamer has stopped taking them for some reason and James has been taking the majority and we do not seem to have been such a threat

?!?! Did Hamer not take every corner and pretty much most attacking free kicks yesterday?

Well our only tactic is go back post to Leo.

So they are not difficult to defend as we do it over and over again

Yesterday Sam was taking a lot of the free kicks which were poor its a strange one.

No.
We only had 1 corner & James took it.

We don't seem any sort of threat from set pieces compared to the opposition

 

[Mcbean]

Sam is struggling - Hamer has stopped winging it in head height - why ? They have been floating it in - such a waste

That one that flew 25 yards past everyone? Woeful. My neighbours must’ve thought I was being attacked at that stage.

Our "attacking" set pieces, are fucking dog shit.

 

[shmmeee]

We’ve coached Hamers corners out of him. Looks like James too. Both used to whip in dangerous balls and now do that stupid floaty corner to the back stick for Østigård.

Yeah it's a shame about Hamers set prices. At the start of the season he was whipping dangerous corners onto the penalty spot (see McFadzean's goal vs QPR). He's obviously been told to try and find Ostigard at back back post every time which isn't working.

I've never understood why players would listen to managers/coaches in this kind of situation.

@ccfc92 We looked incredibly dangerous from set peices at the start of the season, McFadzean's goal Vs QPR was coming you could see it, we'd already caused carnage with a chain of set peices and it was inevitable we'd eventually score.

This 100% look at the winner Mcfaz scored vs QPR on the end of an aggressive corner delivery with whip curling towards the pen spot. Now its all floaty with no pace on the ball. Where is the variety? Our set piece record is appalling.

Anyone remember the Brentford one where they chipped it over was pure imagination, can't we do something like this once in a while!?!

 

[Sbarcher]

With only 1 corner our options to vary are pretty limited!

Pretty sure every team knows what will happen from every corner and free kick, far post to Osti. (if it beats the first man)

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Even someone on the near post for a flick on would freshen it up abit

Mayne even have James putting the corners in for Hamer or OHare to collect any loose ball the edge of the box for a shot

Quality of set pieces has been dropping almost vertically this year. Even throw ins look like such hard work - just get the ball back in play.

We’re not a threat because our only threat from corners has a 50p head

All our big defenders that go forward have 50p heads. It really is a joke.

Even if we find one of our players from a set piece, it usually balloons off target.

Whenever we get given a set piece which could be a threat, I get about as excited as I did after Ryan Kent skinned two players. Opponent goal kick coming next...

I would take a short corner every time to O’Hare then get him to leg it into the box, a better chance of a pen than scoring from a corner currently.

Dabo’s throw ins take an age

It is strange that being “the most fouled player” in the division he spends so little time in the box.
The one time he did find his way into the box it did create a penalty. In the game v Watford

Free kicks and corners picking osti out became a well known ploy so much so we don't play it to him now it's all free kick wise very mundane and offers no threat.
