At times we have used the long throw too much, and with too little variation of direction or target (Mozzer).

But I did like it in the promotion season when we sometimes had the massed heavy artillery on the pitch - any one of which could chuck a bomb into the danger area - Gunnarsson, Morrison, Paterson and Halford! All the pretty boys were spluttering about 'anti football', but it terrified the opposition - and for a while it worked! And long throwers seem to have come into favour over the past few seasons - with most Championship and a clutch of Premier League clubs adding it to their repertoir.

Now two of our specialist far chuckers have gone, but Vaulks added to the list. A tradition to hang on to!
