The amount of corners we get needs to be capitalised on. We’re always getting loads of corners without causing major problems with them.

Not disagreeing op, but to me, today showed that our corner taking is very very poor. I lost count of how many were comfortable takes for the keeper!

Poor front post corners, overhit ones not even in the box and high floated ones easy for the goalie. All wasted chances to score.
When the players are in the box waiting for the corner they are usually stood with a defender, why dont they stand on the edge of the 18 yard line and attack the cross ball ? If they do this there is a better chance to judge the flight of the ball and get a knockdown or a tap in off the goalie.

Our two big guys can't jump or head the ball very well sometimes we have 15 corners and never look dangerous. When Katic was playing he gave us a better option.
That’s 12 so far today. We really need to start capitalising on these corners.

Can you show your workings?
How many corners do we typically get vs how many end up with us scoring?
Has this then been compared to our previous seasons?
Has it been compared with other teams in our league?
How does it compare with other teams in a variety of leagues?

I don’t care about other teams or other leagues.
I want us to capitalise and make more of the amount of corners we get.

Someone's did this before and across all football it's something like one in 50 corners results in a goal

You don't see why it might be important to compare and contrast our success rate versus everyone else's?
Are we that special?

Probably wildly and badly paraphrasing Soccernomics but I'm pretty sure you're about as likely to concede from a corner as you are to score from one.
Can you not see that with 14 corners we should do more with them?
We seem to concede from more corners than we score from corners.

Yes, so does everyone.
Your idea that we should score from them more often than anyone else is flawed because analysis shows that no team anywhere really scores from them consistently.
