Goals From A Set Piece

[Hulk1875]

Have hibs been working on them in training or was it bad defending?

[Enough said]

Lennon said we work on them all the time

[hibbysam]

A bit of both, Lennon and the players say we work on them but the defending was absolutely atrocious. The second goal especially, the ball was about to bounce in the 6 yard box before Daz turned it in.

goal from a corner in first 10 minutes on Saturday will do 😁

The third goal was definitely a worked move. SDG spins to back post and Boyle holds off the QOTS player to allow a free header for our Cup Winning captain. The ref missed it but if the move came from Lennon or the coaching staff it must have been great to see it come off. It was a certain foul and Daz's opener was offside too so at last we got a bit of the rub of the green from the ref.

What amazes me is that when Keats comes on Jason stops taking corners. Jason's delivery has been outstanding and I would leave him playing the ball in.

The first goal wasn't offside at all. Daz was in line with the boy running in. We also had a poor offside call against JC when the keeper made a great save first half.

Makes a change to score from a set piece and not have Jason on the score sheet and winning so comfortable.

Personally I'd prefer Jason in the box at corners getting on the end of 2nd balls/ricochets in the box however you can't argue with 2 assists from 2 corners. In fact I said that just as he swung it in for our 3rd which probably shows why Neil Lennon is in charge and I'm not :D

First time we've looked dangerous at corners since last May. Hope it continues next week

There are 4 of us sat right in line with it in the front row of the West Upper. He was about half a yard offside as far as we are all concerned and looks that way from the highlights.It is tight but I still think he was off. The still on your post is far too small to see. I agree with the Cummings one which was pretty much in the same spot.

have freeze framed it on the highlights about 20 times...he's inline as mcginn makes contact with the ball. ONSIDE

Doesn't look that way to me and certainly didn't from where I sat. As McGinn took the free kick I said Daz is offside to my mate. No difference now as it is recorded as a goal and delighted that Daz got it.

I sit in line at the East stand side and he was not offside. The highlights prove that pretty convincingly.

My bigger worry is that I don't think Cummings is particularly exceptional at taking corners though granted yesterday's were good.
I'm genuinely surprised that there's not an approach that has them staying in training until 2 or 3 of the midfielders can whip in a decent corner.

JC's biggest asset is the reactions of a natural goalscorer which you'd ideally want in the box.

Bit petty of me after a 3-0 win I guess :)

Are you kidding? I hope so. JC's delivery from corners has been exceptional for some time now. Keatings came on and his first three hit the first defender.

Jason's corners are reliably dangerous.

He hits a decent corner but I'd still argue not exceptional. I think the fact he's a notch up power wise from other players in the team gives more whip on the ball and that's definitely more dangerous.

Best in the team? Yes. Exceptional? Not in my opinion.

Keatings I completely agree with you on.

The highlights don't prove a thing as they are taken from a poor angle. No way of telling either way now. We can just agree to disagree on the offside and agree on the fact it was a great delivery from SJM and top header from Daz.
