Conceding from so many corners - how to stop?


Recommended Posts

I'm in my second season as Wolves, and I swear almost every goal I concede is from a corner/set piece. I've tried umpteen different instructions and nothing works.

Last game away at arsenal - Arsenal 4 CCC Wolves 3 CCC. Arsenal win 6 nil.

Everyone back, use midfielders on the posts (or a striker with decent heading on the near post) have a player close down (again with some kind of heading ability), a forward on the edge of the area and have your fullbacks marking players.

The player closing down might get a head on it and either another corner or throw in. The player on the edge of the area could help prevent them winning the second ball and thundering a shot in. Your fullbacks should be decent markers, so why have them marking pieces of wood?

You'll still conceed the odd goal, but it may help tighten things up. You could also use the Match Preparation special focus for defending set pieces.
