No. Neither corner kicks or long throw ins.
You really do need to against teams like this and of course, Preston. QPR's first ten goals of the season came from set pieces.
We, on the other hand, look totally useless at free kicks. There's the one we got as a consulation at Deepdale and Schinz's header from the corner at Ipswich, but apart from those I can't think of any more.
The delivery at most of our set pieces is poor. Doesn't fit in well with the rest of our play. Most of the goals we do score are perfectly crafted works of art. We need to add danger from free kicks to our game as well.
Do this and the occasional lapse against at a set piece won't matter as much. Everybody else concedes from set pieces. We just make a lot of it because it's been our achillees heel for years and years.
