[Albion] Two players taking the same corner?

[Jimmy Grimble]

Corners working well last few games[emoji106]

 

[Badger Boy]

Hardly. County League teams were doing that in the 80’s.

You work it short if only one defender comes out, go long if you pull a second out.

Nothing innovative about this at all

I assure you, I was well and truly taking the piss. I think it's another example of our manager wanting to be seen to be a football genius, despite the results, performances and reality.

Is that why a lot of other managers do it as well? To pretend to be smart, all of them desperately trying to hide the fact that mr Badger Boy is the one and only out there with any football knowledge?

Yes. The managers totally up themselves are using this "ploy". The best teams do not do it, because they'd prefer to be successful at using corners rather than seeming to be some kind of visionary.

This is where you lose me. Everyone has football "knowledge". Everyone has their ideas and beliefs and opinions and everyone has the right to express them. Potter has built his career in football, that wasn't my path. But does that mean I can't come on an internet forum designed for the expression of opinions and views? Or should I not, because they don't comply with your opinions and those of a man you choose to blindly believe in, despite his obvious shortcomings?

I was here before Potter and I'll be here long after, Universe willing. He's just another chapter in our history and one we'll soon forget.

The only fly in that ointment is that the corners have been markedly better and more productive since the change.

Here is the difference... a lot of us speculate in why or how a manager is trying to do something, and if its the right thing to do. You on the other hand are quick to call out things as idiotic or - in this case - vanity, just because you yourself wouldnt do the same thing. As you see it the only reason why Potter would do this is because "he is a moron" or "he pretends to be clever". I suppose you thought Pep was an idiot yesterday as well, for playing Sterling in the wrong role? Because in your anal way of seeing things there is only one way of doing it. A corner can only be taken in one way. A player can only be playing in one position. There is only one viable formation in football.

No shit neither CH or GP or any other human being alive will live up to your brilliance. They are all frauds, you are the only person who know how to do things: the only way of doing it. Its laughable. Some on here are complaining, others moaning, some are licking, some praising, some are debating and some are yelling. But the only one pretending to be clever and know all the solutions is you. Since all the knowledge and all the answers are 100% obvious and evident for you, I suggest you go into coaching. Its well paid and someone never doubting and always dead-certain about that he knows everything better than all the managers out there would obviously be a great catch for any football club in the world.

As if that's the reason why. The Dunk goal at West Ham had very little to do with the delivery. It was a missed header at the front post which allowed the ball to get through, Dunk it very well. The goal against Wolves was a better delivery, no doubt. Let's hope it continues, but I think corners are effective if the delivery is good. There's no reason to have two players in position to take it. Unless you mix up who actually does - if March is taking it whatever happens, why have the other person standing there?

Pfft.. just details. Like the innocence of the Scottsboro Boys... lets not make reality stop good prejudice and good hangings.

That's nonsense. It's your opinion, but it's because I don't blindly believe in a man you've decided is amazing. But is proving himself not to be. I'll keep sharing my opinions, you can keep quoting me. It's how this place is supposed to work.

All the time what Potter does fails, I'll keep criticising him. In the grand scheme of the world, he'll be gone soon enough.

Didn't the ex-Wolves 'keeper on Sky explain why this is a useful ploy and can be difficult to defend against? Rather than potentially pulling a defender out (traditional short corner) it is more that it is harder to know if the ball is in-swinging or out-swinging and therefore simply harder to defend the runs of the attacking players - apologies if this has been highlighted elsewhere, couldn't see it. Whilst we are talking of corners, I thought Zequiri's little run toward the back post created a great pocket of space for Dunk to attack..

Plus Zeqiri's sly little pull back of the player infront of him who was then slow to challenge Dunk.

Loved it, though **** knows if it would have survived a VAR check

But since he’s changed the corner routine we have scored two goals from corners, something we hadn’t done all season. So you will concede that on this particular point Potter has got it right?

 

[The red pepper kid]

What's that all about then? definitely looks like something new off the training ground, but I can't really see how it creates any confusion or gives us an advantage. Just seems like a waste of a man to me

just get it in the box ffs!

I tell you - this drives me round the bend what a waste of one player

 

[Superphil]

Maybe add in a third player at corners, really mix it up and bamboozle the defending side.

 

[McTavish]

I tell you - this drives me round the bend what a waste of one player

And yet despite this, our corners have become much better. It's almost like it's a plan than it is working but obviously we should stop because a number of people on here don't understand why it is a good idea.

Was Percy getting instructions on how to take a corner from Alex Mac today?

All our corner takers would have benefited from paying attention today

 

[hoof hearted]

Best corners we've had in ages, they've changed something in training and it looks better.

They changed the corner taker.
