I’d say the same after a draw or a win & have done. We’ve been gash at scoring from corners for some time,
The corners takers change... the main aerial threats in Dunk/Webster/Van Hecke not so much. Pervis, O'Riley, Ayari, Joao Pedro and a bunch of our other players frequently took set pieces for former clubs and/or their national teams.

We have a lot of good corner takers that quite frequently deliver the good stuff. Actually converting those chances seems to the issue as I see it.

Serious question, do set pieces really matter that much? Have they ever?
We are definitely not the worst in the league at them.

Whisper it quietly, but I think we're getting a bit better at corners. Learning not to hit the first man has some advantages.

Yesterday I think 3 good chances to score came from corners. Keeper had to make a couple of good saves, one goal disallowed.

And not forgetting that one recycled ball from a quick corner led to Carlos scoring the winner.

Of course, it might just be that Potter's teams are still rubbish at defending corners.

O’Riley mostly ?
