Really? I thought there was a lot more procrastination tonightWeirdly was quicker than they have been for years tonight I thought
Would be much quicker if out ballboys actually did there jobs aswellWeirdly was quicker than they have been for years tonight I thought
It’s in the clubs DNA. We’ve been useless at them for at least the last 20 years. Until recently we were also as bad with corners. IIRC last season Eccles had taken over 100 and we’d scored 1 goal from them.We are so bad at them it’s time to give it its own thread.
We are slow
indecisive
only win about 50% of the first ball
And MVE long throws are a waste of time.
If we don’t know what to do just
throw it up the line.
Ball boys are no longer allowed the throw the ball to a player unless it come direct to them off the pitch. They have to put it on the cone for the player to pick it up.Would be much quicker if out ballboys actually did there jobs aswell

Need King to invest in some elite tactician ballboys, the ballboy deck is far off top 6 atmWould be much quicker if out ballboys actually did there jobs aswell
It really is weird how Major Tom chose to bring it up tonight, I’ve thought for years how slow & indecisive we are with throw-ins, but I actually thought whilst watching tonight that the subject must have been discussed in trainingWeirdly was quicker than they have been for years tonight I thought

Into the crowd?Most of our throws go backwards
This drives me up the wall. Almost every throw in that we have in the opposition half is thrown backwards. This often results in the ball being played back to the keeper who will frequently pump it forward where we will have a good chance of losing possession. I’ve seen this happen even when we are as advanced as having a throw level with the opposition six yard box.Most of our throws go backwards

Bidwell was noticeably quicker vs Leeds. He even through one from so far it only just landed on the pitch as he was in such a rush.Really? I thought there was a lot more procrastination tonight
I think it was, we did it a couple of times after Lampard took the reigns but then it's stopped.I really want to know what happened in that one game where we had all kinds of innovative set pieces that worked a treat then just decided to never do it again. Was it one of the Carr games?
Yes I’ve heard this, ridiculous ruleBall boys are no longer allowed the throw the ball to a player unless it come direct to them off the pitch. They have to put it on the cone for the player to pick it up.
As good as that eh!We are so bad at them it’s time to give it its own thread.

Then why was our lad throwing the ball to their keeper when the play stopped for injuries and the like. He was chucking it to him just so he could bounce it and have a kick around.Ball boys are no longer allowed the throw the ball to a player unless it come direct to them off the pitch.

It’s partly this I agree and partly our attitude to risk.Our throw-ins usually go backwards because our movement and ball holding is poor from the forwards. I suspect if we threw forwards we'd lose possession even more often.
I've been saying for ages that our throws ins are absolutely shite. End of.
Have you seen the way the receiver reacts when the ball is thrown their way? It's like the ball has somehow in flight transformed into a steaming festering radioactive turd and they just want no part of it.It’s partly this I agree and partly our attitude to risk.
it’s safer to throw it back to a full back than it is to risk the forward losing it.
The problem is the full back then plays it to the centre half who then plays it to the keeper and Dovin then lumps it forward to the forwards.
We have more chance of retaining the ball from a forward throw than we do the punt up field but for some reason we persist with this madness.

Surely we can take a chance sometimes when we are so far advanced in opposition territory and try to launch an assault on goal? If we lose the ball, so be it. At least we will have had a go.
