We have certainly been working on set pieces. Look at the way that our players are lining up before the set piece is taken, they are in a line by the penalty spot and all move to specific points when the kick comes in. They have done it for the 2 out of the past 3 home games, strangely, they did not do it last Saturday against Reading though, I can only assume due to the physical size difference and the fact that Reading had a good commanding keeper who was coming out to claim crosses. McGugan was even trying to do different things last night, keeping the ball lower in trajectory. What I would like is for us to take a shortish corner on occasions so that the angle of delivery is changed slightly. As below Also, give Pudil a chance from corners on the right wing side so that they in swing. I remember he took them when he first played last year before Abdi took over.
And what if they have two men out covering the two players taking the corner? #cornertakingfordummies
At this very moment he is at the Southampton training ground practicing getting on the end of corners.
