Just an observation, but I think we have to improve on our corner taking, every corner (taken by March or Gross) seems to be the same, either it doesn't clear first man or their keeper collects.

Maybe we shouldn't compare to the likes of Arsenal, but when they were at the Amex every corner they had was placed in the danger zone. This is my only criticism in an otherwise brillliant season.

Its a little bit too little being created on set pieces and this has been the case for about a year and I do think it has some relation with Webster being injured a lot and Duffy/Burn (Duffy wasn't often playing but always a threat when he was, and Burn wasn't great on attacking set pieces but required plenty of attention) leaving.

Need to also work on defending from corners. Barnes left completely unmarked at the back stick for their second.

Think the defending on corners is above average. Going to concede sometimes from it no matter how good it gets. Was poor from JPvH though, and also pretty clever from Barnes.

We've got to change our positioning.... just a 6 yard box jammed with players. Surely RDZ can come up with cunning plans. Maybe just try short corners, just a couple of us in the box but with pressing forward from outside the area. I dunno... but it's obvious something new needs to be experimented with.
