But interesting stat (well I found it interesting!), I just looked over Rickie's 100 Saints goals. 8 free kicks. However the last one was goal 47 against Bournemouth in league one on 12th March 2011............
We never really had the knack of scoring from corners in the first place. One season of Fox being able to take a corner, and that is it. Nothing in L1, and nothing now. These are professional footballers. How hard can it be to find one person who can put the effort in on the training ground and learn to take a decent corner? I can remember times where we've had three or four different corner takers in one game, such was their lack of quality.
Could even be as low as 6 points needed with our GD, but I really just wanted it sorted before the end of the season.
At one point 37 was thought to be enough, but there are still teams in the mix. Probably one more win or a win and a draw would be enough, but suspect we will probably win 2/3 more games.
Makes you wonder if they read this stuff, Lambo has started to hit them again, truth was we weren't getting many free kicks in range, other teams had done their homework it seems. Now a bit of hoof ball and a plethora of corner attempts against WHU wouldn't come amiss.
Too right! Some classic statements of fact which have been found to be somewhat misguided. Funny how Trixter kept quiet after we beat Liverpool and Chelsea!
Didn't Fonte score from 2 against Fulham, pretty sure we scored against Tottenham from a corner as well. But hey, we NEVER score from corners.
