Yes we tried long throws and odd corners with crowded boxes it didnt however form the majority of our tactics .

Interestingly the keeper tried and succeeded in distribution to players rather than hoofing it .
Re the comment about Smithies. I was always quick to defend Etheridge's distribution as I felt he was under orders. I can only presume that such orders don't exist and Etheridge is a keeper that just wants to whack it long.
