    Well I find that amazing, one on each post and for a short corner I can understand, but the other 8 marking areas no one would be attacking as at best the opposition would leave two men on the half way line although I'm not sure why as we never have a player just inside our half to take and clearance we make, what ever happened to players taking responsibility with regards marking their designated opposition player.
    I much prefer a quick lad just inside our half for the clearance and also pull two of the oppositions defender out, but thanks for the reply.

    Used to be the norm putting a speedy lad at halfway whilst defending a corner usually a small lad who couldn't defend headers

    If we put 2 players up teams would still have 4 or 5 attackers in the box so all the 2 players do on the half way line is allow the attackers a free run at our defenders. Normally attacking teams still leave 1 player on the half way line so all you do is take away 1 or 2 players from the edge of the box with their main attackers in the box. If this didn't work you wouldn't see so many top managers doing it all over Europe. We've also not got the tallest team so man marking on corners would likely leave mismatches in the area.

    Interestingly I’ve been watching the Accy Leeds match, Leeds brought everyone back to defend their corners. I’m not saying it would be what I’d do but it’s common place now for better or worse.

    I didn't say two on the halfway line just one quickie like Eisa or Nevers, one quickie would mean two of the opposition players would be on the halfway line as they wouldn't leave it one on one.
    So the opposition have one taking the corner two on the halfway line that leaves 7 at best in the box, I'm still baffled why we'd need all ten outfield players plus a goalkeeper who should be capable of taking/punching the corner if it was anywhere in his area.
    So 11 against 7 seems overkill to me and could get in the way of one of our players trying to win the header.

    The opposition already leave 1 back so it would only be 1 more. In our set up that would leave one of their best headers of the ball with a run on our defenders.
    When was the last time you saw a player left on the half way line create anything resembling a chance? All is does it look like you are doing something. There's a reason why so many teams defend corners like this these days.

    It's not just about the counter attack though. Having a player on the edge of the box and on the half way line means that once the ball is initially cleared we have a chance of retaining possession and alleviating the pressure. Failing that though, those players can at least put pressure on the ball rather than allowing the opposition time and space to deliver another decent ball back into our penalty area.

    Without doubt the majority of teams do it so there must have been some thought given to it by the stat guys, not sure the Nhaki Wells type left just inside his own half would only occupy the one defender I believe many times in the past Parky used Nhaki in that role little point in having him in or around the box as defending wasn't his strongest point, so using him as an out ball was hardly doing nothing it give us a chance to win that ball as @NorthernMonkey@NorthernMonkey says in our present situation no one outside the box usually means the ball is put back into the danger area, I'd say someone like Nevers or Esia would have two defenders along side him the opposing manager wouldn't risk a one on one IMO.

    Wrexham also conceded from a corner so many if he was back McBurnie wouldn't have scored

    Maybe it's just a Parky thing.
