Ban us from taking short corners

Nicholas

Boy are we shit at taking short corners. Always leads to us fluffing it or putting ourselves in trouble. Absolutely hate short corners.

Yep, dont really see the point in them tbh - especially if you-ve brought all the big fellas up .

Stig

I haven't seen us much recently, but I can't remember us ever scoring from a short corner. Complete waste of an opportunity in my opinion.

Rob

Agreed. All rubbish today.

Don't understand us taking short corners, when we've consistently looked dangerous with normal ones.

I can understand changing things if 5 consecutive long corners come to nothing, but surely that's Plan B not the default

What big fellas?

We're a team of midgets by and large so need to be creative.

I'm not saying short corners are the answer necessarily though having made that point

Have we ever been good at short corners?

precisely. When Cullen first joined his corners were pretty good. We scored at Southend in his first game & Taylor scored recently from Sarr's knock back. We have never been brilliant scoring from corners but it seems that since the return from the International break Reeves has taken over corner duty.....and his crossing is not that great at the best of times.

We've never been that great at long ones either. Corner taker either raises one hand to indicate that it won't make it past the first defender, or two hands to indicate that he's gonna hoof it out for a thrown on the other side of the pitch. 28 years I've been watching that routine, always the same.
