I thought this was going to be a politically incorrect thread.
Pity.

Score from corners?, we can't even take a corner properly!, all too often the ball into the box doesn't even beat the first man. Van La Parra being the main culprit yesterday.

Hah, yes well, learning how to clear the first man would be a start!
It does genuinely worry me. Goals from set pieces is something we distinctly lack and its so frustrating to watch especially when the opposition seems to make it look so easy.

Hughton is right. The defending for QPR's winner was shambolic. Bruno was more interested in pulling Austin's shirt than beating him to the header. They need to rethink their defending of set plays generally.

I know!, and yesterday was such a good indication of that. Surely learning to curl a ball into the box from the corner flag isn't exactly rocket science?
I'll stop short of saying even I can do it, but I've seen enough keen schoolboys do it in the local park on a Sunday morning.

Apart from at QPR. When we scored from a corner.

Sure, can't argue with that. All I'm saying is that it has gotten to the point where I no longer get excited for set pieces. That's a worry for me.

Seriously though, when was the last one before that? - and how many have scored from (or other set pieces for that matter) this season? Not as many as we've conceded, I suspect...........

I think that was the one occasion he didn't pull Austin's shirt !

God Andy Naylor is an awful journo. That's a very lazy article. What next,? Bears shit in woods..Pope is Catholic.

the ball is hardly ever delivered in a fashion that makes scoring likely.......seems to be more likely that a short corner will be taken and then slowly worked back to greer.......we really need to get a bit more urgency in our attacking game , we were undone by a class act , no doubt but they only had 4 or 5 chances and they took 3 of them ........2 of those goals could be described as "soft" as a result of poor defending.
how we bounce back is crucial ...!!

Yep, we scored from a corner in that game, but I don't believe for one minute THAT goal was practised on the training ground!
We don't appear to attack the ball with any real purpose, and as has been mentioned too often of late the delivery has been poor to diabolical.
