I am looking forward to see if we can improve on the number of goals we score fom corners and other dead ball situations. A few more goals could make all the difference bewteen finishing outside the playoffs and going up automatically. Fine margins. Yet again MB has identified an area for improvement. He has invested in a most experienced coach to squeeze out that extra little bit.

Johnny Brooks certainly did it - I remember it well. Ealing Road / Braemar Road corner. Couldn't believe it at the time. No idea who it was against.

Barry Thornley at Watford mid sixties 1-1 draw. Direct from a corner if my memory serves me well.

That bloke on loan from Spurs did it against Millwall iirc. The one now in Belgium. Sorry cant remember his name. Senior moment!

I reckon we'd be best making Lionel Road circular so we didn't have to worry about corners. Middlesex could play T20 there in the summer.

I reckon what we are paying our coaches to make our undervalued players better, is a lot less than having a couple of coaches and then players on 30-40G a week

Very interesting video from a few years ago featuring our new 'ball-striking and technique' coach Bartek Sylwestrzak here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKOXlXj_QNY

And look who it is making an appearance at 3:15, recent signing and 'free-kick specialist' Ryan Williams. All the pieces are starting to fit in the puzzle.

Off topic slightly but in relation to your post ...well worth watching- the art of topspin:

I suspect Ryan Williams is definitely not here to sit on the bench.

If it's just us doing it with everyone else lagging behind then it'll be even more fun than ever.

Great find. If he scores from a free kick that would be brilliant and one of our coaches an expert in this. Connections and networks

Isn't this all so exciting!

Think we can stop worrying about marking TC when we concede one now though-----
 

Our Corners?

This has to help, in the games I saw last season, we were so wasteful from a lot of set pieces, we were a small team granted

Any goal is an improvement on nothing!

I'd expect all these guys to be on a fraction of what most first team players would earn. McEachran's Chelsea salary would probably pay for them all while still putting them well into the 45p income tax rate.

Photoshopped. You may have missed this in the number of coaches we have recruited recently but one that may have slipped under the radar. Is the photoshop coach.

And this video feature Ryan Williams.

Looks to me that he is striking the ball with his instep., but hard to say really. Guess we will know when we get a free kick. There will be a queue of players wanting to take it!

Good point. Perhaps he will be on in the last five minute as a specialist. Just use him right at the end of the game.

Although I'm waiting with great interest to see how our dead ball situations work out, the one thing that I'm really waiting for is to see if we've improved on throw ins, now we have a coach for them as well! Personally, I believe last season we didn't have much of a clue of what to do when we got them all over the pitch. It seemed to take an age, with very few people offering themselves available to receive the ball.

This was a huge bug bear for me too - but I thought we improved a fair bit last season. Mostly thanks to Pritchards close ball control.

Those videos of Ryan are VERY interesting - he can take a bloody good free-kick that is for certain.

Jay Tabb was a pro at coming short for a throw in, turning and making a pass.

Jackie Graham also. Possibly twice, but memory may be playing tricks!

we've been caught out a few times now sending the cb up...the stats will show that most of the time a corner is just giving the ball away'....they shd stay back..

Keeping the CB's back is a ridiculous suggestion. We are yet to improve at dead balls. Has the dead ball coach been on holiday? :fishing:

............yep............he's been on holiday with the midfield defence coach ...........

Hopefully will improve with a good fortnight over international break, if Harlee is right and they barely practiced set plays last season it'll take a while to install

Noticed we didn't use the "bus queue" routine ;)

Tarky and Dean always go up for corners, even with the Warburton days?

Swinging a corner over is basically giving the ball away...I'm surprised we do it

.................yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................

Remember Marcus Gayle flicking the ball on at the near post from a Neil Smillie corner for Terry Evans to roar in and score?
Yesterday reminded me.

Bonuses all round this weekend for the set-piece coaches!!!!!
 

Our Corners?

Full backs taking corners was new I think - wonder if this was Smith's will or whether the set peice coach is at last being allowed to work on things.

Yep and seemed for the first time we really attacked the ball and were determined to get in front of their defenders.
