Corners

For some years we have been dreadful at taking what is in effect a free kick. Even if we can clear the 1st defender we just lob the ball hopefully somewhere in the penalty area. I have noticed that the most dangerous are those that are whipped in as some other sides do.
I remember Roger Brown, John Dempsey,Chris Coleman & Brede used to position themselves outside the area. When the corner came in they had a free run to attack the ball. Now we have Our CB¨S stood on the 6 yard line & having to jump from a standing position. They are unable to gain momentum & put power into their header.

I used to take corners from both sides & even though I was a RB I never seemed to have a problem taking a decent corner.
Do our players even practice this basic skill?

But Grandad, that pig's bladder stuffed with feathers was easier to control.

I still have the scars over my eyebrows from the lace on the real footballs, unlike the beach balls they use now.

Free seat in the new riverside stand for anyone who can tell me when we last scored from a corner.

I LOVE OLLIE NORWOOD.
Someone once asked me, "Why Fulham?".
My response, "Well, lad, you just haven't seen the light yet"

Probably right Ben . If I'm still alive and kicking come and sit with me near the halfway line in the new stand when it's done for a game. COYW
