Yeah something I've noticed for a while. Player A (Brandon Mason this year) throws it to Player B who tries to cushion it back to Play A, usually resulting in the ball going straight out for an opposition throw.
Another ridiculous thing is insisting on a particular player to take a free kick. A case in point on Saturday when Hyam was going to take a free kick. Burge ran 30 yards to take it instead and then passed to Hyam anyway who was about 3 yards away!
Turning throw ins into attack...lack off movement.
Turning defence into attack...lack of movement.
Failure to keep possession...lack of movement.
Formations don't fail due to lack of rigidity....they fail due to lack of movement.
Yeah. It's a bit like the issue of us playing between the defence and then hoofing to nobody. Is that also due to lack of/poor movement as there's no-one free to make a pass to?
As for the thread. Are we missing something from throw-ins. Yes - we're missing players in Sky Blue shirts.

That's usually Doyle and Doyle in both cases. It drives me nuts that a pro footballer can't cushion a ball back to a thrower. It's also the only time he sprints now, running over to take quick free kicks. That was the same last year too though - if the plan is to take quick free kicks it should be drilled into the whole team not need 1 guy to drive it.
I always wonder if it's part of being a L1 side with a small management team that we don't see these things addressed week to week - like the ridiculous kick offs last year. Have we spent all week on shooting practice and there just isn't the time for this kind of 'no stone unturned' approach ? Or is it deemed not worth it? Or is Robins just not that meticulous?
