I’d say the same after a draw or a win & have done. We’ve been gash at scoring from corners for some time,
The corners takers change... the main aerial threats in Dunk/Webster/Van Hecke not so much. Pervis, O'Riley, Ayari, Joao Pedro and a bunch of our other players frequently took set pieces for former clubs and/or their national teams.

We have a lot of good corner takers that quite frequently deliver the good stuff. Actually converting those chances seems to the issue as I see it.

Serious question, do set pieces really matter that much? Have they ever?
We are definitely not the worst in the league at them.

Whisper it quietly, but I think we're getting a bit better at corners. Learning not to hit the first man has some advantages.

Yesterday I think 3 good chances to score came from corners. Keeper had to make a couple of good saves, one goal disallowed.

And not forgetting that one recycled ball from a quick corner led to Carlos scoring the winner.

Of course, it might just be that Potter's teams are still rubbish at defending corners.

O’Riley mostly ?

This can't possibly be right, I've been reliably told we're utter GASH at set pieces
We're improving.

Those people who told you that were correct, but in this mini run we've looked dangerous and finally managed to bag some

We didn't concede from a corner until December so overall Hurzeler made an impact with respect to set pieces fairly quickly
Ah, but what about the 'conceding from us having a corner' stat..?!
