[Albion] Breaking from corners

Bodian said:

For one corner we actually left two players up front, which meant that they had to hang back and not flood the box as they like to. I seem to recall threads on NSC from some years back begging us to leave someone up top at corners?

I take it I'm the last to pick up on this, but am going to mention it anyway, just in case it's a new thing.

Twice last night, I noticed when an opposition corner broke down Flair Hair & The Lamp have been instructed to maraude straight up the middle of the pitch as fast as possible.


Now neither out ball worked but one day it might.

We might get to see them two, our two full backs, arrowing in on goal like they are some kind of modern day Jamie Murphy.

We had to calm things down a little though after big Bob juggling the ball close to the half way line, somehow did not attract the attention of the ref or the lino.

It's the first time this season that i've noticed us leaving a player up (or two) from their corners - nice to see.

Late in second half Maupay and Welbeck (?) took to almost standing off the pitch on opposite wings on half way when Brentford had a corner.
