Didn't we score from one last night?

To be fair, we scored from one last night and the deliveries from Dave were very good, and dangerous.
One thing I noticed is that Greer runs first for EVERY corner, without ever getting near to it. No wonder he doesn't pop up with many goals.

Are you sure that isn't DELIBERATE? He's in theory, the obvious threat - i.e. the big centre half. Stands to reason they'll assign their best defender to mark him. Greer makes an early run, away from the designated area, and removes said defender from the equation.
Then we cross it onto the head of the first defender...

I mentioned this last night that our centre backs should be contributing nearly 10 goals between them over the course of the season.

Overall over the season so far our set pieces have been SHIT.

Corners statistically aren't great for goals. Apparently less than 2% of corners result in a goal.
This is why teams such as Spain take them short. The chance of retaining possession from a short corner should be 100% whilst a "good" corner would be 50%.

We haven't been for quite a while, this isn't just an Oscar thing. As has been mentioned, it doesn't help when the delivery is poor.

Oh, would you look at that…
27: GOOAALL!! Ince, from Orlandi's corner, clips the ball with his left foot past Neal into the corner. #PVFC 0 #BHAFC 1
43: GOOAALL!! March with a cheeky first-time lob with his right foot from Orlandi corner, from position wide on the right. #PVFC 1 #BHAFC 2
Who'da thunk it?

And both from Orlandi Corners. I felt a couple of weeks ago (Reading?) that the standard of dead ball delivery rocketed when he came on as substitute.
