Goals from corners....
Ooh! Another quibble of mine.
Leeds United have taken 147 corners in the Championship since they last scored via a corner in February against Swansea. 52 shots or headers from corners in that time, no goals.
What is the problem, is it?
Poor crossing.
No anticipation of the ball in tight areas.
Our players don't know how to attack a ball in the air.
Mistimed jumps.
Poor finishing.
Any other reason?
Strangely enough, we seem much more efficient at defending corners these days.
Anyway, I'll be updating & keeping an eye on this thread, hope we grab one before we hit the 200 mark.

Watched a video on YouTube few years back, I’ll see if I can find the link, but I think on average only 1-2 in a 100 corners result in a goal

Re: Goals from corners....
Sorry for the burst of posts it was this video, but both say effectively the same thing it’s not a great source of goals anymore

8 scored last season at Norwich from set pieces in total.
13 season before (remember when we thought Bielsa team was bad from set pieces) Norwich were worse.

Indeed, our poor goal count to corners ratio goes back to Bielsa days.Cjay wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 4:18 pm 200w-17.gif

Possession football on the ground maybe the answer why we don't score from so many corners.

Can we expect to see BB & Leon in skimpy mankini’s.
So is there a league table for goals from corners under FarkeBabe.

I think it might help us score more goals from corners.
The opposition would be stunned by the goolies.

Re: Goals from corners....
You have to cheat to score from corners these days as it's all about blocking the markers plus stopping the keeper coming to collect or punch.
Everton and Arsenal are good at it and that's with VAR as well.
So basically we're not cute enough at fouling to create the goal scoring opportunity for a team mate.
Oh and they've all got 50p heads as well
