They have been a disgrace all season.

I can think of two occasions when they have been decent and we scored from both. McShane against Palace and Hammond the other week.

It amazes me that in a team of 10 professional footballers they can't put a decent ball into the box 99% of the time from corners. I'm not even asking for a dangerous one, just one that isn't over shot, pee rolls along the floor or is ballsed up by some half baked routine.

Wasnt at the game and was forced to listen to the commentary from the Coventry and they were very critical of the corners at the end

May be about to get my first flaming but, I think carole should be taken off the set pieces. His corners either can't get past the first man or just floated into the keepers hands. Last week against millwall chippy whipped one in and result? Hammond goal. Dont get me wrong his game in open play is excellent and do feel that pang of excitment when he gets the ball. It's just his set pieces.

Agreed with all of the above, although i think CKR's goal at Wednesday was from a Carole corner.

No-one is attacking them enough, but the deliveries are generally shite

Butters against QPR aswell.

But these do clearly need work.Not sure why Chippy only seems to take a minority of them as I think he's our best player from dead ball situations.

Agree entirely. His corners are an embarassment.

They really cant practise them in training, can they?

It is a mystery to me quite what is practised in training.
