Didn't someone post a stat last season ,when this was discussed for the eleventy billionth time , that less then 2% of corners result in goals across all 4 divisions

Yeah, I was more interested in the stats regarding bringing everyone back vs leaving players up.

Well seeing as that's what pretty much all teams do these days I would imagine the stat is pretty much the same .
There seems to be a silly idea that we are the only team to do it but every team I've seen us play this season do the same .
Only thing that annoys me is other teams seem to transition a lot quicker than we do currently from defending a set piece

I don’t think anyone’s said we’re the only team doing it. Just a modern ‘meta’ that I don’t like and don’t really agree with.

However, whatever the benefits of it are, we must clearly be doing it wrong as we’re unconvincing on the corners and really bad at breaking away if we do win the ball in.

Totally agree, we've played teams like Oxford at home who transitioned very quickly and looked dangerous doing it

Yep. We seem to set up wrong to pick up the second balls. If we are bringing people back some at least need to be patrolling the edge of the area. We just seem to stay in the box waiting for the ball to come back in. And if we do win it no-one busts a gut to get up the field.

Tell us why then?

Ain't nothin' but a quick break.
Ain't nothin' but a mistake.
