It would be a useful weapon but we could do with learning to take short throws first.
We lose possession directly from throw-ins way too ok often.

We cant seem to coach anyone to deliver a decent free kick, let alone a long throw
Not sure the 1970s style of play suits us

It’s not something that you can coach. You either have the ability/physique to project the ball a long way or you don’t. Ian Hutchinson and Martin Chivers were probably the best of the best.
And probably half of the throw ins we take are foul throws, but at PL level both refs and linos are lax on calling them.

I can point you in the direction of Stoke for a cold, wet Tuesday night game if that helps.

You also need someone who can get on the end of a long throw. And for us 99 times out of a hundred it’s the opposition who get to the ball on crosses and corners, we are woeful at winning balls in the air.

I’m really Not sure if the foul throw rule has been rescinded or not ? The amount you see in a normal match is comical
Edit And we are particularly incapable of legal throws
yet the official s generally ignore it

Can we at least get competitive with corners first?
Swing it out to the edge of the D . . . . Pile driver top corner.
it's the only real way
not witnessed since the Goldstone mid 80's
Big fan of people thinking we won’t find a way to be terrible at these set pieces too
Yep, not having Rory Delap is definitely our issue.

Long throws is criminal. Tony Pullis football. Amazing how all this direct and long ball shite is coming back into the English game. We stopped it because the national team got outplayed every game and then developed a method for youngsters to learn how to play and now the likes of Bellingham, Foden etc, are as good as any player in the world. Now this ugly style of football is rearing it's head again. Dave Bassett might make a comeback.
