The issue with Brannagan's floated corner is that they're so difficult to attack. I think the logic behind them is that they're also difficult to clear. A pacy corner can be headed powerfully away, which could lead to a more effective counter opportunity.
I do think there's a middle ground though between a long and short corner. Just playing the ball to the corner of the box for someone to whip the ball in with pace will disrupt the defensive shape and maybe allow someone like Taylor or our big defenders a bit more space to attack the ball.
Think the intention of the floated cross is forDickie to head back across goal - which carries a higher chance of scoring.
The downside being the keeper has a pretty easy time as despite putting a player on him we don’t create any other blocks
