It got me thinking, does anyone recall our last goal from a corner?

Isn't a corner a sort of courtesy thing, where you're just supposed to pass it to one of the defenders standing on the edge of the six yard box?

Only 3% of goals are scored by corners.

I thought that our corners today were a vast improvement on the last few weeks - apart from the cocked-up short job in the first half. There were a couple actually producing a good chance of scoring.

When did we last concede from a corner?

Talksport did a piece on corners last January -- at that point in th 14-15 EPL season:
#1 was Chelsea -- eight goals scored from corners (17 corners per goal) so far in that season.
#2 was mighty WBA -- six goals per corner.
I'm guessing by itself it doesn't say much about a team.
WBA stat ??
Guess it's mostly down to good defensive organisation. Seems rare now too to leave anyone forward, so attacking team always outnumbered.

Bring back Alex "Ooh!Ooh!" Dawson. At least the ball would have hit the net, along with the goalie, the goalie's head, and other body parts of said goalie. And the ref would have given a goal.
Six goals per corner?! How does that work?

When Steve Foster or Doug Rougvie were playing?
