Without doubt our game against Charlton tomorrow is a battle of styles.
We have the highest average possession in the league, they have the second lowest.
We have the most shots on target per match, they have the lowest.
Despite us having the most corners in the division, 23 more than Charlton, they have scored the same amount of set piece goals as us (2).
Most crucially, they have eight more points than us thanks to their early season form - although they haven't won in their last four, with three draws. Obviously we are looking for our first win of the season.

Not surprised by our corners stats,we are crap at them.All stand in six yard box and just hope someone nods it in.Worst part of our game.

Agreed, I sort of get why we have to do things a bit different with corners because we don't have a tall team other than a few players.
But loading the six yard box isn't doing anything. Big fan of Robertson but he isn't the right person to take corners in my opinion. Rubin could take them when he's back but maybe they want him in the box because he is one of the taller players.

Bagan isn’t too bad from the left but again, he’s pretty useful in the air. Possibly Willock from the right when he’s playing.

What can we do really apart from try trick corners, which I'd imagine everyone is switched on to because they know we've got zero physical presence. Agreed on moving Robertson off corners surely there's some better at taking them

When you watch the warm up , the goalkeeper warms up with the other keeper crossing the ball to him .
There really good at crossing they get it perfect
Were losing a trick here bring the reserve keeper on for corners haha
