I don’t have a problem with this generally but can someone feedback that to maximise the element of surprise both players should realistically be in a stance that suggests either could generally take it, rather than one standing behind the corner flag.

In a recent match (can't remember which; loads going on IRL that tries to distract me from footy!) Percy Tau was the designated second player at corners, and he looked so unsure/out of place, and so clearly not going to take the corner, he looked like he'd have had his hands in his pockets if the shorts had pockets.

I'm going to ask why we ONLY have two players on corners. Why not three or four?

Personally I’d like to see us try the routine a German team tried recently.

All the attackers lined up on the 18 yard line on the side the corner was taken from and all ran into the box as the ball came over.

Caused great confusion amongst the defenders!

Can’t see that it can be worse than our usual routine often ending back with our keeper....

Better not mention it on the forum call though. Could be our secret weapon?

I expect my usual commission for the idea though......

He did actually take one though didn't he ?

I intend to applaud the club for finally getting queues in the concourse under control this season.

Without ploughing through this thread - is this not on BBC Radio Snooze then ?

Now I’m hoping for a Potter Out type question. Just to see Barber cut them down.
