Are people finally going to realise they’re a good thing? Particularly after the goal we scored today? Every time we take one, there’s a loud groan around Home Park, to be fair, that’s probably the case at most grounds, but it doesn’t make sense.
Unless you’re side who specialise in and pin your hopes on set pieces, statistically only a tiny, tiny number of goals are scored from ‘swinging it in’. Even Peter Crouch, your classic big man, said in his podcast that more sides should be taking short corners. If you’re a good footballing side, like we are, then you’re far more likely to create something by playing it short. Watch our goal today, our goal at Forest Green, among others, I’d much prefer seeing them to seeing a ball being swung in and either not making the first man or the ref just blowing for a foul every time.
