Why are we so bad at them?
Given, the goal came from the follow up from a corner, and an absolute belting cross from Evans, but generally speaking from corners in general we are really poor.
We quite often do win the header, well, JOC does, and it goes flying miles over the bar. Somehow he hasn't scored a goal, and he's had chances.
When Evans first came his corners looked really threatening but even they seem to be less so now.
We bemoan the lack of goals from the forwards, but they have 30 between them. THIRTY!
It's the rest of the team that need to help them out, Stearman has 2, Basham has 2, Fleck has 2, Duffy - you guessed it 2, a wholesome 3 from Lundstram. 1 from Stevens and 1 from Baldock. And somehow 0 from O'Connell despite winning most of his headers in the oppo box.
Goals from other areas is where we are lacking, and they are all guilty of it. Improving the quality of our corners has to be a huge working point in close season.
Every time we face one we look threatened, we look vulnerable and often rely on the keeper to make a great save. How often do we get a header on target from a corner, nevermind make the keeper make a save?
