We have only scored 1 goal from a set piece this season (in the league), the joint lowest.
Is that because we have started to practice them, as under MON apparently we didn't, or is it Milner leaving, but of the 3 who regularly took corners last year I would put Milner behind Young and Downing.
The increase in training might result in fitter players but also more injuries (strains, niggles etc), if that makes any sense at all.
