The thing about long throws is you need the best contact you can get and the modern ball doesn't lend itself to that when its been rolling around on our modern watered pitches.The other downside is how poor we've become at short throws.To me we don't even show any more with no one making darts or attempting to get a bit of space.It wasn't lost on me either their first goal came from a quick throw while we were walking into position,an attitude that has cost us more than once this season.Its the little lapses that we got away with last season that are being savagely pounced upon this season.
