We don't score from a long corner either, so don't think it makes much difference

I don't know, they nearly went up the other end and scored from one of ours. We don't even mix it up so, we end up being predictable and easy to defend

Agreed. Taking these tippy tap corners EVERY time fools no one. If we actually took a corner, I bet they wouldn't expect it. Poor.

If we took a proper corner it would mean we would put the ball into the box which is something we can't do unless we have 10 tappy-tap passes first without an attempt on goal.
Corners only present a challenge for us to play it back to the halfway line.
Very frustrating for us as that's our natural place to control the ball and where we can play all the sideways tappy-tap passes we want without the inconvenience of thinking about an attempt on goal

Disagree. Think the short corners play to our strengths and allow us to keep possession.

Don't see how making us completely change our style in what could be the last game of the season will help! It'll only harm us! It's just a 1-0 deficit and we really deserved at least a goal tonight. Derby just defended solidly and we were a bit sluggish at times. Can Derby defend for another 90 minutes? It's a big ask.

Note - above applies for when we are camped in their box. More isolated corners eg in first half should be directly played into the area as we haven't the foot hold in the game for the short corner to work.

Have we ever scored from a short corner?

Has ANYONE scored from a short corner?

Our goals per corner rate must be the lowest in the league, we have so may corners with little return.
We really need to mix them up, we are so predictable.

Could well be to do with the size of our players maybe. Im guessing Jokanovic is playing to their strengths from a standing start they would have had no chance. More concerning for me is the lack of crosses from open play even though we flood thr box with bodies
