I'll probably regret bumping this miserable thread but it seemed the best place to put this. Really good (I think) explanation from Notts County's manager on why they take a lot of short corners, how it relates to their style of play and how people don't always perceive what's happening. Sounds a lot like our style.

It's a fair point, maybe not do the same thing every time, as you need to keep defenders guessing, but playing short like he says does have its advantages, and seeing we are not very successful just lumping it into the box something we should try more often.

I thought the best part of the Notts County corner video was when he said they alternated (once) and scored from a direct corner. The element of surprise ...

Sounds similar to what we do with Allsop's kicking. He can nail it into Delap's feet from the other end of the pitch but it's only worthwhile when he has space, so at certain times when the opposition has pressed right up onto us and their midfield has followed, leaving a bit more space around Delap, that's when he bangs it into him.
 
I notices Acun stayed most of the day yesterday in Hull, I wonder if it was to get Liam finally signed up with an extension to his contract?
He spent the full day in Admiral taking advantage (door wide open) of their Wednesday Chicken Club offer. The **** didn't buy me a pint though. :emoticon-0125-mmm:

The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
 
But bar that he's improved and improved us as the seasons progressed. Makes sense for both him and the club.[

it’s a forward thinking decision. The transfer window will be a lot easier if we can cement top 6 at Xmas. Everything crossed for the rest of the season. Think this squad is better than we thought.
