[Albion] Corners - Have we ever been any good?

[Curryisgreat]

We scored from one late in a game at Elland Road some time in the 1990s. Final score was 1-1.

Are you sure you’re not Palace, Mr General. Brighton didn’t play a single game at Elland Road in the 1990s...

Skalak produced the goods in taking corners for a while.

JC - football genius, once scored direct from a corner. Right foot, right wing, so technically an outswinger.

[Questions]

Not since Steve Foster left us.

Wasn't that the only highlight of the Hyypia reign?

Yes, that was my first thought. I felt like almost every goal we scored was from a corner under Hyppia.

Also, didn't we score from every corner and free kick Jiri Skalak took the following season under Hughton.

2005, scored by Butters to make it 1-1.

I wonder how many (Kit Napier corners) went in straight from the corner.

Only one or two I think, but his corners consistently caused havoc and must have contributed to many goals.

We were pretty decent during Mickey Adams first reign.

For someone with Burns height we are pretty crap at corners

It wouldn't make any difference if the delivery was good anyway. I like Burn but for someone so tall, he is really poor in the air. That was why I thought it was strange we stuck him up front at the end of the Spurs match.

It's more about being in the right place than height. . . .

It doesn't tally TB as I remember listening it on BBC Radio Leeds and taping it on cassette bizarrely, which certainly wouldn’t have happened in 2005, it must have been the 1980s then, as was pointed out before, we didn't play them in the 1990s...hmmmm. Either way, it was a late equaliser from our corner.

During Micky Adams first spell we had a fantastic corner routine

 

[blue-shifted]

Watto, Zammo, 1-0

 

[Bozza]

No.

If Naylor doesn't ask Potter about these blasted short corners, he needs to get the boot from The Athletic.

 

[macbeth]

the corners today we're an absolute abomination

Not sure what training they actually do at lancing. Maybe if we double the size of the goals the forwards might get some confidence back by sneaking one in
