Something a bit unusual about this. Is this supposed to be normal? It might be an overreaction, but maybe statistician can make me less paranoid about this.
That sums it up nicely.Because we’re not well coached. Been obvious for two years now.
Fixed that for yo... Oh wait, no, no, you're right, carry onBecause we’re not well coached. Been obvious for two years now.

Agree with you. Especially on corners.I'd be very happy if we could score from more set pieces frankly. We're fecking awful at them.
It's the most frustrating thing with us imo, we get freekicks and corners in the opponents half and the majority of the time they're fecking abysmal, the quality in crossing is so, so unpredictable. It's infuriating.Agree with you. Especially on corners.
Need to be more clinical on free kicks no doubt. Take last Tuesday for example. If only that free kick Bruno had hit the net instead of the bar. Straight from that miss RB Leipzig scored their 3rd goal.I'd be very happy if we could score from more set pieces frankly. We're fecking awful at them.
Yes this is 100% correct. Your Sunday league team could probably have played just as well. In fact, no one in the club knows anything about football.Because we clearly aren't being coached. It's probably more, just go out there and play your best. I genuinely think this is the case as this is how my Sunday league team ends up playing and we haven't got a manager nor are we coached. It seems we put all our hopes in Bruno coming up with some magic or one of the opposing defenders makes an error.
Yup and thats ultimately the difference between a good team and a top team. Being clinical at important stages in the match, we started off very strong in the second half and got nothing for it, thats what we have to improve on as a team. We had plenty of free kicks and corners in the 2nd half and we should be using those to help build pressure on the opposition, instead we tend to throw it away with tame deliveries. It's a clear weakness in our game right now.Need to be more clinical on free kicks no doubt. Take last Tuesday for example. If only that free kick Bruno had hit the net instead of the bar.

Yeah can only really think of Maguire v Chelsea & Newcastle this year as corners that actually led to a goalYup and thats ultimately the difference between a good team and a top team.

My guess is that it is because it is significantly more difficult to execute the near post corner routine. First of all, the near post is usually heavy guarded, which means that the corner kick itself has to be very accurate, have a lot of pace and has to be timed perfectly with moving target. That is a lot of variables, and if just one isn't on point the corner routine won't work.The most difficult to defend is the near post corner. Simply because it could be flicked to the far post, and then back into the near post or centre or straight to goal or even goal from the near post. We always try a long high one to try to get Maguire to head it. I really wonder what they do during the training?
