Father Ted Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 Thinking about it recently, I think we should adopt the 'long-throw' tactic. Having played on Sunday, we won 3-1. Two of our goals came from long-throws. Stoke's recent success has come from the long-throw of Rory Delap and Tranmere's run to the League Cup final was mainly down to Dave Challinor. It is certainly something that should be discussed and with Steve Howard in there, stick it on his head to flick on for the likes of Fryatt, King, Dyer, etc. lurking.
Father Ted Posted 30 December 2008 Author Posted 30 December 2008 Doesn't work. And why wouldn't it work. In every case I've seen it, it works.

Uncle Albert Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 It didn't work for Tranmere in the 2000 Worthington Cup Final did it? Matt Oakley is a massive thrower on Footy Man.
Father Ted Posted 30 December 2008 Author Posted 30 December 2008 It didn't work for Tranmere in the 2000 Worthington Cup Final did it? Matt Oakley is a massive thrower on Footy Man. It got them there didn't it? And to and FA Cup quarter final that year aswell.
RowlattsFox Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 You can't just suddenly start adopting a long throw tactic, you need to have the personnel. We actually attempt quite a few long throws a game but never look remotely like scoring from them. While we're on the subject of throws, why is Gilbert not taking throw-ins at the minute? Is it an injury or is he just shit at them?
Uncle Albert Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 It got them there didn't it? And to and FA Cup quarter final that year aswell. Not good enough is it? If it is that effective it should be winning them finals and getting them Promoted.
Father Ted Posted 30 December 2008 Author Posted 30 December 2008 Not good enough is it? If it is that effective it should be winning them finals and getting them Promoted. Not good enough?!?! It got a 3rd division side to a League Cup FINAL! Honestly, what is your problem, it seems that all you want to do is argue and you always have to be right all of the time!

Honestly, what is your problem, it seems that all you want to do is argue and you always have to be right all of the time! A. They were in Division 1. B. To put their success of that season ALL down to a long throw is just plain stupid.
Uncle Albert Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 A. They were in Division 1.B. To put their success of that season ALL down to a long throw is just plain stupid. Exactly. So its not me wanting to argue with you its me telling you what I think. And proving you wrong really.
Alexikokopops Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 And why wouldn't it work. In every case I've seen it, it works. You've named two examples in eight years. Are you seriously suggesting they're the only examples in the past eight years? They're also two examples where the person has a ridiculously good long throw. We don't have anyone with that kind of throwing power or else we probably would use it as some kind of weapon. It's not as easy as saying "lets use the long throw, it's bound to work as a successful weapon all the time".
davieG Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 We should play a little bit like Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool as it seems to have brought them some success
Maybes Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 Millwall had a guy with a massive throw and they got, well worse.
syston_fox Posted 30 December 2008 Posted 30 December 2008 Millwall had a guy with a massive throw and they got, well worse. I remember the goals from that game Worst defending in the history of the game!
Father Ted Posted 30 December 2008 Author Posted 30 December 2008 Millwall had a guy with a massive throw and they got, well worse. That Serioux bloke He setup a goal against us with a long throw
Father Ted Posted 21 August 2009 Author Posted 21 August 2009 We will see who's right when we score a few goals this season from Neilson's long throws.
