Our Throw-ins

[RonnieBird]

We were more or less promoted through long throws and set pieces so anyone who can't see how important they are is missing a big thing. Doing it right is something which can give us a tremendous advantage, and so that's what we should do.
We're not getting it right at the moment though, and last night I wondered whether we'd be better off leading with Morrison and leaving Flint out of the manoeuvre.
It's a knack of the thrower or corner taker connecting with the target man exactly and so far we haven't found that recipe .

The people missing something are the ones living in the past. The long throws don't work anymore. Unless the objective is to give away possession.

No, they work very well if you do it properly. In fact a commentator on Sky last night was saying how poorly championship teams defend corners and set pieces. He's right, and if we or anyone else can exploit that it will earn goals and points.

What would you do with corners and throws high up the pitch incidentally ? I'd be most interested to know whether you've got a more effective tactic.

Excellent points . It's exactly the same group of kids who can't be civil in a discussion and who know bugger all about football except what they've picked up from tv pundits and playing that computer game they seem to like.

You tell 'em, Ronnie!
