Morrisons long throws

are just shite.

Have no idea why we preserver with this tactic.

Its bad enough launching in in the attacking third to our team of giants who can't win a header.

Chasing game against ten men, why on earth does Morrison take all the throw ins in our own half? If we want to launch long, then fullback can surely throw to a cb or gk? But no, Morrison has to trot across and throw thirty yards down the line for us to scrap for second or third ball even when there is an easy infield throw in available. It's painful.

It's another way of getting the ball as far down the field as possible. The aim of every throw is to advance us and hopefully win another throw in 30 yards closer to the opposition goal until we get near the corner flag.

Then the aim becomes to throw it into the box and hope that Flint or Paterson somehow manage to win a header against the three defenders marking each of them.

Why are they shite ffs we gain so much ground by it

It’s painful to see it all the time, and has no end product. Even parks sides mix it up now and then.

Be nice if just once we went infield or backwards and switched play to our winger waiting on opposite flank. Element of surprise must be worth something, but no. Being our winger on opposite flank to where play is must be bizarre as you know your team will never intentionally get ball to you.

I think the main issue is the amount of time it takes for each throw, especially if there is no gain. Is see the merit in lobbing into the box but otherwise precious minutes dwindle away.

Football was meant to be played on the floor not in the clouds.

It's a bit like rugby where they kick every f*cking ball into touch just to move down the field.

No its played on a football pitch!

sure we have one of the biggest teams in the league, its not just his long throws, its also our corners, the opposition seem to be beating our players to the ball, out jumped, and then making them ineffective

Been like it for awhile dead ball kicks being ineffective ? Free kicks look dangerous with Tomlin putting ball in but he doesn't take corners!

The value of good crossers of the ball, like Albrighton for instance should not be underestimated. A skill that can and must be learned.

Wasn’t around in his prime during this period. We might actually score from corners then. As for long throws no point in doing them if their loopy and not delivered with pace. The only player we have who can deliver them flat with pace is Vaulks.

We were supposed to be dangerous from set pieces last season but were pretty hopeless at them and they produced virtually no goals paticularly the useless long throw. I think we assumed that back down to the championship we would be effective again but so far we have not been. Perhaps the opposition have us worked out. We should certainly ditch the long throw which has produced no goals for a couple of seasons now.

It takes the pace right out of the game. I'd like to see us play at a fast tempo....especially at home. We dont have a lot of skill so let's get fitter than other teams and move the ball quickly, close down quickly. I'd rather see that than us taking forever to take a throw in.

Wolves scored with one today. Simple. Long throw. Flick on and a striker puts it away.

The difference was the reaction of the Wolves scorer to the flick on.

Our long throw tactics are useless.

Sounds like another brainwave Warnock has had.

Would be fine if it was taken quicker + less predictable.

Fair enough if it was delivered to different areas of the box, but what we get is the same slow predictable near post throw every time.

Mozza has obviously been told to take his time too.

It doesnt work.

It is pretty ineffective and from what I have seen we rarely actually win the header. Probably work a lot better if we mix it up a bit. A few times during the Fulham game we could have gone short with a player in loads of space. Could have run it into the box or whipped a cross in. It is so predictable and teams have plenty of time to set up defensively. We need to mix it and keep the defenders guessing.

It's the predictability that doesnt make sense. And the missed opportunities whilst oppos are setting up to defend. Number of times on the left a short throw is on to Bennett who is surely able to deliver with his left foot? He takes dead ball free kicks on edge of area after all so surely to be trusted with a cross? And obviously the time and tempo. Its like it's Morrisons moment in the spotlight and no one dare take it off him even if good options and variations are available.
