Corners

[Jesus]

Are we the only team from u/6's through to ECL who defend corners with no one on a post? I cant believe how many times we leak goals from not having someone on the post

One of many basic errors we make unfortunately.

thats a coaching issue, its not just defending corners but taking them thats poor

so true,
theres hardly ever anyone on the posts or theres someone but they move off it to quickly.

Isnt it the keeper who decides whether to have someone on the back post? Isnt just corners either. Freekicks farken

 

[Tassiemariner]

Reason for no one on the posts was because Queensland play that 1-2 down in the corner and 5 minutes before they scored we caught Mckay offside so they tried it again and failed.

Its nothing to do with the keeper. The Coach determines if you play fullbacks on the post or not.

It was in Vogue a decade ago not to put players on the post...this was a dismal failure and to my knowledge everyone has... at the very least... the back post covered on all set pieces in modern day Football.

The fact that Porter is not a proper full-back may have something to do with it but for mine, its a very strange directive from the coaching staff at CCM.  Like I said before we have the worst organised defence in the HAL.

Oh noes, critical of our coaching............

That's what Mr McKinna said post match, that it was up to Danny and that the way Queensland were playing the corner meant that the player came off the post early.

Another point about corners, how many times have the Mariners headed the ball down in four years. My count is zero, maybe one.

We always have 10 men back for corners including dmac, the opposition always have 2 defenders and a keeper back. Assuming danny aint marking anyone, that still leaves at least one man free for every corner, a short corner should be no issue because there should be a player marking the running man as well as one on the post.

I'm just saying what Lawrie said, I made no comment as to whether he was correct or not.

Basic error would indicate that its a once off. Danny never has someone on far post, so hardly a basic error

I do not understand it, and never will

At this level of football, I'd imagine it would be the goalie who'd call the shots as to how many people on the posts, and who exactly they were. I'd imagine that there had been prior discussion to the tactics previously employed by Qld. and possible solutions to nullify their attack trained and worked on, at training. Tobin, Crawley and LM would have probably thrashed this out with Wilko and Danny.

At z grade local park football, usually there was someone who was an experienced defender who'd assemble the defence, and usually one or two poor sods would be told to stay with the posts until hell froze over or the call to move out. If the goalie was experienced or confident enough, he'd do the organising.


But if Qld rush a lot more people into the box, and succeed in dragging a player out of the post duty role, then it is up to Danny to either call the player back if he wants him there, or to take the wider goal mouth into account for his angles.

I will say this though, if you have a young guy like Danny barking like a mad dog at every corner, no one will end up listening to him.

In that respect, Bosnich was definitely much better in getting the backline to do what HE wanted them to do. If that meant standing in the wall and copping a full on hit to the head instead of ducking out of it, then so be it!

Macho bullshit perhaps? Can't understand why a goalie wouldn't want less of a goal for the attackers to shoot at, and him, to dive for. Can't understand the logic behind it either. ???

I reckon danny didnt have peps on the post coz of that farkin annoying 1-2 corner. McKay sucked him in

 

[Jesus]

2 players on posts is mandatory. Since when did we worry that much about a short corner? Only need one player to defend the 2 out wide. Leaving 2 for the posts, and every man in the box covered. If they run it in, they run into space and suddenly you mark zonal rather than man to man so players can still remain on posts.

We can only dream lets face it CCM dint want Bozza they may have been worried otherwise why dint they offer anything for him to stay .

What is he doing now only Fox and training with Sydney but that should finish soon.

We need to call him back to lift the boys again like at the start of the season when Mile was out
as Gougth said nothing will save the Governor General now?
