Youre right

It was like leaving only JCR back when we took corners

Exactly. Head the ball out as Gower did 4 times today and it came straight back. It's not rocket science.

Think on this. Concede a vorenr (it happens). Leave Eastwod up, they put 2 back.

Leave Eastwood , JCR and Bradbury up they'll put 5 back!

Head corner away then we're on the attack!

Or am I dim?

Sorry I am not drunk, just amblyopic!

looks like lazy coaching - something that clearly needs addresssing and rethinking and no-ones sorted it out -

Spot on!

When do we ever leave one player while the oppsosition are taking a corner?

So so negative.

They would not put 5 back, but yeh I agree with your principle

 

[RobM.]

It's called defending from the front!

no you are not.
This seems to be some sort of coaching tactic and most teams seem to do it and its aso been covered on here before.
However many players you leave up, the opponents will always leave one more back. This must be better as any keeper will tell you the more people in the box the harder it is for him to get to a corner.

I would like to see us leave Freddy and JCr on the halfway line.

Its not lazy coaching, its a deliberate policy.

I don't like it. No matter how many bodies we have back we still can't defend form set-pieces. We'd be far better off leaving Eastwood and JCR up as an outlet.

We need Bradbury back there though.

Its a response to when earlier in the season we were conceding lots of goals from corners. Agree that it would be good to leave somebody up field, but I'm sure you will correct me if I'm wrong ;-), we haven't conceded a goal from a corner or the resulting balls back in, since we adopted this policy.

Annoying 'fact' getting in way of good rant alert!!!

I would imagine we also haven't scored from clearing a corner all season either, or had a decent chance owing to our entire 11 camped in our penalty area.

Rant back on!

...but in the contrary (and this is a weak argument!) how many goals have we scored on the counter from a defensive set-piece.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

its just southends story so far this season, negative play

It's not. We have been doing it all season. And, for that matter, so have most teams (at a guess 75%) in the entire football league set-up. I believe, as I have said on here ad nauseaum that this is a coaching fad exported from the UEFA Coaching Badge schools.

Watch other teams we play, watch matches on Sky (English and European) - as I say most teams do this.

Why? Don't know!
