But who should take them do we think? Jennings?
Quote:him or Buxton...or maybe both depending on which side it is on.pez
Why not have Ridehalgh taking them?
We rely on his crosses to feed the strikers so from a dead ball situation he should at least be able to deliver a quality ball into the box surely?
Makes sense to me.
Anyone else think it might work?

You miss the point Kennel, we don't know what we are looking at, when we see corners repeatedly hitting the first man we are missing the wider picture and those things that only ex players notice. He may hit the first man every time but he doesn't half do it consistently which is apparently good in football, and he has a nice technique of hitting the front post, no one else in this league can take corners like we do!

In the bigger picture it is yet again an example of how we continue to make the same mistakes without anyone taking hold of the matter. A corner is an unchallenged kick from the same place (other than side of pitch) and so should be relatively easy to get right. It seems embematic of poor coaching that nothing improves.
It is the most obvious of a number of things such as our own mediocre defending of corners (and yes the goals against are low but this is because we are defensive rather than because we defend well) and a backline that sits deep and therefore does not pressure teams. To my mind it is a major factor in our midfield being poor at supporting forwards as they are pulled into the spaces in front of the back line

Well as mellon’s said it’s nitpicking to criticise corners he’s obviously happy with them all hitting the first man.

How about having some variation rather than repeating the same thing over and over? Maybe a short corner to give a different angle for a cross?
Maybe somebody coming short from the six yard area to pull their defenders away from the middle?
How about a 45 degree pass to somebody coming forward from midfield to either shoot, cross with more accuracy, play the ball square for somebody coming into the area?
And so on and so on. I"m not a coach but why do we do the same thing again and again whether it works or not?
