We were good at corners under Parky.

I can recall 2 goals from corners this season. Both from Cook- v Tranmere and Stevenage, but agree that generally we do not look threatening from corners at all.

In the last few matches, Platt has twice set up an open net chance by by heading from the back post into the six yard box (both chances missed).
And yet Smallwood has received derision from the stands for his corners going out at the back post - nobody on the back post.
Why we don’t put someone at the back post for corners baffles me.
For free kicks it seems we do.
I find it odd.
Agree with the OP though, we don’t capitalise on corners for whatever reasonSteveC and Morley Bantam like this. -

The crowd goes wild with excitement when we get a corner from not playing it into the box early enough or dithering about when in promising positions.
I'm thinking its the worst case scenario from where we were 5 seconds ago.Gardscoigne and SteveC like this. -
We are bad at corners yes, but also have you ever seen a team as bad at throw ins as we are. Not just the current mob, but it seems to have gone on for years. We just have no idea, watch us next time we get one.
The thrower spends upto a minute, looking for someone to give it to, no one moves at all and we just end up throwing it anywhere invariably giving possession awayJudgeMental likes this. -

I think Cook has scored from a corner or two.
But Romoney and Platt are useless in the opposition area.
They might as well just stay back. -

I realise these are PL stats but
Over the last 18 seasons, corner-kicks have produced between 9.8 per cent and 14.2 per cent of all Premier League goals.

I once read a stat that only 1 in 50 corners results in a goal. Not sure if that still stands as it was a few years ago.
