NorthernLights24 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I find it difficult to get excited when we get a corner. I never feel like we'll even threaten the goal let alone score most of the time. Does anyone know of any stats regarding goals created from corner kicks for SPL sides and do they prove we're as hopeless at them as I seem to think we are? Link to comment

Foster14 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Used to score most of our goals from set pieces but delivery this season has mostly been abismal. Delivery woeful, and less of a willingness from our players to put their heads in to a dangerous areas. Couple of years back you quite often had the likes Anderson and even Diamond attacking the ball with their head with elbows and feet hurtling straight at them. Nowadays, we don't seem to have that at all, from any player. Link to comment
ScottishJohn Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'd guess that about 1/5 of our corners get past the first man. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Another area where Hartley has been a disappointment, and it's got little to do with being out of puff. Maguire's corners are truly hilarious, it's like being back in primary school when nae c**t could get the ba' off the ground. It isn't just this season though. Even last season when we had Charlie "set-piece specialist" Mulgrew, we still rarely got a decent deliver from a corner and when we did we still rarely had anyone willing to attack it at all costs. What was our last goal from a corner? McArdle against Alloa? Diamond against Hamilton the only other one this season? A quick look at both match reports, and both were due to a failure by the defence to clear, not delivery and attacking it as such. McArdle's other goal came from a free-kick, which was well executed (but poorly defended). Vernon has scored a few headers, but none from corners that I can recall. Piss-poor whatever way you look at it. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Pretty funny seeing as a lot of our goal are coming from crosses in open play. Link to comment
