Our corners

must say they have improved greatly lately but it says a lot that it's our two full-backs that are generally taking them.

    Nothing wrong with full backs taking them - neither are going to win the headers so why not

    I agree though - the set plays are dangerous. Basey takes good ones too but must admit I am surprised at Richardson's ability. They started off pretty average but are certainly more threatening now

    We've scored lots of goals from corners this season. I think it's more about the quality of defending than the delivery. That's not to say the delivery is bad at all, I just think you get more opportunities from corners in League 1 as opposed to the Championship because the quality of defending is worse. Sam Sodje's goals against MK Dons, Huddersfield and Carlisle were 3 unmarked bullet headers. Maybe I'm not giving him enough credit for his movement though.

    Shelvey, Basey, Richardson and Borrowdale can all take a good corner.

    According to PP they have been working on them a lot.

    Jackson took a mean corner as did Basey and both were FBs.

    Shelvey is a bit hit and miss and I'd rather he was picking up a loose ball on the edge of the box.

    Either way - it's certainly an improvement from Darren cornerclearedbythemanonthenearpost Ambrose

    I thought Shelvey started off really well with corners and dead balls, but later on in the season he seemed not to be able to deliver, I haven't seen him play for a while tho now

    Good to see and it really doesn't matter what position takes them. I'm sure there are a fair few examples of full backs taking set pieces, some even take free kicks or penalties.

    But Ambrose's corners have become brilliant since he left us

    I remember Pardews sides being partial to conceding at corners at Reading, West Ham, Us , and Southampton....mind you on Saturday we have to win a corner to test that out.
