Set Pieces / Corner query

[OldManPar77]

Was getting fed up seeing corner after corner getting pumped into the box with nothing positive ever coming from it so decided to simplify and just have one routine either side, set up to short kick.

However, whenever I see a corner routine for us, the players are set up as per my routine but the taker continues to just pump it in to the box,

Don't understand why? Only have the one routine either side.

I think you need more players in the box. Both CB's, 1 near post and 1 far post. 

My routine: sun at the big guy near our far post. My CB at Fenerbahçe scored 5 goals in the first 4 games.

My general setup is centre backs attacking near and far posts, striker at the back post 

2 lurking outside the box, 2, usually the fullbacks stay back

I normally find it scores an acceptable amount of goals without forcing anything

Normally after a corner or two, the opposition will send someone out to mark the short corner receiver

shouldn't matter though, IRL players will pass to the short option even when the opposition knows what you're going to do. 

 

Can't say I disagree @fraudiola

Thanks for replies/comments.

I acknowledge what I'm trying to do isn't optimal but I'm just looking to get the ball back into open play short, then maybe to guys on edge of area to either work into box or have a dig from there.

My primary corner taker has Corners - 11, Technique - 12 which for Scottish League 2 is decent so in theory should be able to throw in decent deliveries. CBs are both Heading - 11, one of which 6'2 (Jumping reach 14), the other 5'11 but jumping reach 10 which for this league is ok.

I'm obviously going to have to work up another routine to cater for the ball going into the box regardless.

It was more in that. I was giving them one instruction and it was being blatantly ignored. Not just by one taker, as at least one of the others on the list was doing the same. So must be something in the ME as someone suggested?

I'm the only team not to have scored from a corner routine - I've only been using my 'short' routine for last 5/6 games so 3/4 of the games where I had the big guys in and about produced nothing before that hence my thinking that if they weren't doing any good they could at least stay back and be in position to defend any counter.
