Gunnarson has injured his shoulder and will not be doing his long throws this season.

Shame. Big factor in his game, we've scored a few times/got corners out of them. Will have to rely on Tayls for long throws now

Thats a shame. They caused mayhem last year. And this year with Cornelius in the team they would have been useful.

He injured his shoulder in June playing for Iceland and is still following his recovery program, what he said in his interview was he wasn't yet ready to put "Full Power" into his long throw.


Nothing about that being for the whole season in what I heard.

I agree but the odd 1 or 2 to unsettle teams is the way to do it not every bloody throw.

Thank F for that. Fed up of them being headed away. Couldn't have practiced what we were going to do with them at all. Very rarely did anything come of them from the danger they should cause.

We got the equaliser in the Carling Cup final because of his long throws.

Rudy's nodded a couple in and I think cCmpbell somehow managed it aswell.

We didn't get many goals from his throwins anyhow, however, with our beefed up team it would have been agood option to have this season.

We should'nt be picking him just because he has a long throw. Next we will picking players just co they take good free kicks ..... Oh sorry we've already done that too!! :roll:

Shame If true, some people are saying good they don't like them, but it causes uncertantity and gives us other options.


Hopefully it's a lie and first game he will suprise West Ham with a few massive ones :ayatollah:

Trust me on this one. It's about the only thing I study in the match lol. It's a long standing joke in work of knowing what's gonna happen 9/10 with obvious exceptions to the above. Great goal by Whitts teams coming back out :ayatollah:

Yeah, long throws are rubbish, when did we last score from one? You have to go as far back as the last minute of the last game of last season. Throw led to the penalty at Hull.

I don't quite know what people expect from them tbh.


I can't remember the last time we built anything worthwhile from a short throw though.
