Halfords long throw,has PULIS secretly already taken over

[HantsSeagull]

I don't see the problem with long throws. It's the same concept as a corner. I doubt anyone gets the hump about us banging into the box (or attempting to) from a corner rather than playing it short and then failing to carve open the defence and walk it into the goal.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

The long throws helped to get the crowd going once we realised that something might come of them (unlike our corners).

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Where we have a weapon the opposition do not like it is mad not to use it. Mix it up of course but doing what the opposition least prefer is always a good option.

Ah some top quality rosy spec wearing.

Neverbuyabikefromhim carved open Reading more times yesterday, with his long throws, than the odd occasion we were treated to a Vicente masterclass.
Neverbuyabikefromhim has already created the same amount of goals as Vicente.

We all loved Vicente, we all went weak at the knee v Derby, but for whatever reason barring the odd cameo (the like of which we've never seen before and are unlikely to ever see again) he wasn't very good for the Albion.

Vicente v Neverbuyabikefromhim is a non contest, but at the end of the day, we're a Tesco's team who once bought something out of date from Harrods.

Come on be serious

Be careful what you wish for....

And you think CMS as an adequate first touch! You are giving Ben's Grandad a run for his money in the 'I know shit all about football stakes'.

 

[Stuart Munday]

Then slinging him upfront. Desperate stuff and not what I want to pay money to watch.

I don't know I quite enjoyed it for a change and havn't said that much over the last 18 months as the football is normally poor or boring.

You cant expect me to use facts in a debate based on:-
We're better off with neverbuyabikefromhim

At this point, which, in case you've forgotten, is 23rd in the table, I will take Halford's long throws, hoofball, scrambles and desperate tactical choices if they keep us in the Championship.

We cannot afford to be precious.

You weren't happy the last time we switched a centre half up front then, aka Virgo. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Exactly. If every team had one player that could deliver the ball into the box from a throw then they would use it. It's not the same as a long ball game when the defence and goalie just launch the ball forward at every opportunity. Pulis got a reputation for it just because he happened to have one player that could deliver the ball that way. Did they do it when Delap wasn't in the team?

 

[surlyseagull]

I thought it was good, if you have a weapon, USE IT! Long throws are exceptionally hard to defend.

Total agreement ...and yes very hard to defend

especially if a long throw him helps us score (JFC's)

 

[surlyseagull]

Love the long throw scenario ,and if its a danger to the opposition and gets the crowd going and gives the team a bit of a chance in the box what is the problem.

 

[Eeyore]

The long throw is more dangerous than a free kick. It is generally more pin-pointed.

The next step is to drop someone in to the free space created by the retreating defenders. This will make the box less congested and keep them guessing.

 

[1066familyman]

Awaits someone to say that in light of this new found wonder tactic we should never have sold Steve Cook

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Pretty safe to say that none of us saw THAT tactic coming!

 

[loco61]

we need points and i dont mind how we get them,
until Blackpool away when i expect us to play like Brazil (1970 style of course)

 

[attila]

Bollocks to tippy tappy. Let's get Pulis in, sign Nicola Zigic and get Halford to aim the ball at his head every time we get a throw in the last quarter of the pitch. That will cut out the middleman good and proper

 

[Claude samdamme]

Great throws from Greg, but his man marking of Murray was non-existent.....he let him run to the ball for their second. Will be a lot better in defence when Greer is back
