Corners and Free Kicks 08:59 - Nov 6 with 1470 viewsLondon_Pride

12 corners and numerous free kicks and never once looked like scoring from any of them.
We never try anything different or even simple things like putting a player in front of of their goalie. Why isn’t Madsen taking them?
At the same time we concede two shambolic goals from free kicks against Ipswich.
Do we have a ‘set piece’ coach? If so, who is he and what has he been doing?
In Norrie speak, is the issue methodology or performance?

Apart from JD and Madsen there rest of the team is pretty short when your up against a team with 3 or 4 6.3+ giants plus a keeper . Our best efforts came for clearences to the edge of the box for a player to try and find the goal with possibley 15 or more bods in the way.

Madsen tays outside the area so its down to Jimmy

captains fantastic

I don't quite understand why Madsen has been taken off set pieces now that Chair is back.

Second worst this season at attacking set pieces and second worst at defending set pieces, according to Jack Supple on the W12 podcast.

Yes, our corners and free-kicks were depressing.
Surely, coaching can bring about an improvement in that area?
Also, some innovative thinking, such as we enjoyed when Terry Venables was with us.

Whats Madsen 6'4"?
I guess thats why they think he's better not taking the corners, but I think we've seen enough of Chairs set pieces to know that maybe someone else should take them.

Probably only just above Barton in the table for shit corners

Dembele should never be near a corner kick either (or the pitch...)

I have to say I've noticed how unexcited I get these days when we win a free kick or corner. My expectation levels are on the floor. It's not just how infrequently we score, it's how we create so little threat.

I love Illy but his set pieces are rarely a thing of beauty.

What I don't get is continually pumping crosses - be it from open play, corners or freekicks into the box to be headed away, again and again. Happened against Oxford and Millwall too. Try. Something. Different.

Set piece coach doing a good job then. Great hire.

We've been crap at corners for as long as I can remember.

Quite possibly we might score one goal from a free kick every 29 Years.
