OldManPar77 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Was getting fed up seeing corner after corner getting pumped into the box with nothing positive ever coming from it so decided to simplify and just have one routine either side, set up to short kick. However, whenever I see a corner routine for us, the players are set up as per my routine but the taker continues to just pump it in to the box, Don't understand why? Only have the one routine either side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalk3r83 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think you need more players in the box. Both CB's, 1 near post and 1 far post. My routine: sun at the big guy near our far post. My CB at Fenerbahçe scored 5 goals in the first 4 games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 My general setup is centre backs attacking near and far posts, striker at the back post 2 lurking outside the box, 2, usually the fullbacks stay back I normally find it scores an acceptable amount of goals without forcing anything 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManPar77 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Thanks for replies/comments. I acknowledge what I'm trying to do isn't optimal but I'm just looking to get the ball back into open play short, then maybe to guys on edge of area to either work into box or have a dig from there. My primary corner taker has Corners - 11, Technique - 12 which for Scottish League 2 is decent so in theory should be able to throw in decent deliveries. CBs are both Heading - 11, one of which 6'2 (Jumping reach 14), the other 5'11 but jumping reach 10 which for this league is ok. I'm obviously going to have to work up another routine to cater for the ball going into the box regardless. It was more in that. I was giving them one instruction and it was being blatantly ignored. Not just by one taker, as at least one of the others on the list was doing the same. So must be something in the ME as someone suggested? I'm the only team not to have scored from a corner routine - I've only been using my 'short' routine for last 5/6 games so 3/4 of the games where I had the big guys in and about produced nothing before that hence my thinking that if they weren't doing any good they could at least stay back and be in position to defend any counter.
