Someone at the club will analyse corners-to-goal ratios

both in terms of on average if you get 100 corners how many goals would you score, and also on average if 100 corners are awarded against Team X how many goals would they concede, for all X in the division.

Any outliers would doubtless feed through to the training ground. I tend to think this kind of thing will be being done very well under the current regime.

The only thing that bothers me is our defence which is naive and gets away with stuff you just don't get away with in the Prem. Once again I do not believe this to be a unique insight, nor will it be one that the club does not have and in far greater depth than I do.
