LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It was interesting to see that in Oguchi Onyewu we have finally got someone in the team who can throw the ball a decent distance. It makes a change from the predictable 'routine' that we always use: - wait until everyone is marked, throw the ball to the nearest man who will then return the ball to the thrower, who will then punt the ball up field.

Seriously though, it's nice to have a change of tactic. The opposition must have been surprised when we did a long throw. We never do long throws.

Matt Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 There's no harm in having a couple of extra options from set pieces. I'd sooner see us launch it than do our usual trick of throwing it short, getting under pressure and putting it out for a throw to the opposition.

Guest TheOrder Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Aye, nowt wrong with the old long throw when all else has failed. Gooch's were excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Aye, agreed tbh. Our throw-ins have been abysmal for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Its just a real pity that Gooch can't hoy the ball in the box from 40 yards and then leg it into the area to get his head to the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 We must be the worse team in the Premiership at throw-ins. We may as well throw it to the other team. And Yorkie's right, it's been that way for years and nothing's been done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
