Corners….Why Do Teams Bother?

I thought we had a set piece specialist coach. His CV 
No, I dont care what youre saying, because what youre talking about was never my point. You dragged me into this conversation by misunderstanding what I was saying. Which was that 1.9% conversation (or 4 goals from 208 corners)might look bad on paper. But the reality is that is the pretty much average. Any other topic has nothing to do with me.
Once again, I didnt assume any causality. Thats on you and the other guy determined to change my point from what it was. You can argue factors all you like, I didnt. I simply posted what the stats were for that year and how they lined up against us and the idea that WE ALONE are shit at converting corners. When in reality we are around the average.
Yup, dont admit you made a mistake. Just post a smily and keep on trucking. Welcome to the block.
Read the conversation again. I didn't make a mistake. G'd luck.
from the linked github page, I'd like to point out:
That cut-off leaves out a lot of ways for that pump-the-ball-into-the-box corner to turn into a goal (or a penalty).
Me too... How someone using the word "because" can deny that he talked about causalities is surely beyond me.
Yeah, it's a fuzzy concept. You'd need to have a clear cut-off though, cause a short corner can also soon lead to a play in the box - so you have to been able to separate the two for meaningful statistics.
Yup indeed.
To be truly meaningful each individual corner play, no matter the kind, should be cut-off the moment the defending team regroup and reorganize its defensive shape.
I’m sure the stats sound support we must be one of the least effective teams from corners in the league at both ends of the pitch. Has been that way for years it feels like.
I never got why the main targets for corners are often the centre backs who lumber forward to head the ball with all the accuracy that I can.
“Great chance to get back in the game lads. Aim for the great lump who won’t score in a month of Sundays”

If the odds are 3% to score, isn't that reasonably high? What would be expected, a 25% chance off a dead ball that was blocked out of play?
3% must be higher than the chance of a random counter, the counter isn't even guaranteed to get going as it has to fall right, then it has to be converted across the entire pitch.
Also, what's the chance to score from a random attack? It must be extremely low, if you think of average goals per game. So in that context the corner is offering a good opportunity, particularly if you are competent with them. Our chances are probably much lower as our delivery is inconsistent and only 1 or 2 people want to win the ball.

Another corner that leads to a goal against us. Yeah what’s the point? Just cause we are shit at scoring from corners most other teams aren’t. Every corner against us is as good as a penalty nowadays.
