we have serious issues with these imo, its been like this since coleman days it seems, needs to be rectified

we seem incapable of taking a quick throw in, we just stand there looking confused ignoring people who make runs and come short and end up throwing it down the line, we must give up possession from throw ins at somethign like 70% of the time

it infuriates me,i wonder if its just me or has anyone else noticed this?

You don't tend to get goals without getting the ball forward though do you?

But you can be patient. I think he meant you don't have to go forward every time. If you've got possession, the other team aren't scoring.

Ive got to say I completely disagree with the OP. for the first time in ages I think throw ins are ok. They wait until a player is free and play a throw to them and 9/10 the player plays a touch back to feet so the thrower has possession to pick a pass. I get sick of balls just tossed up the line and hoping for a bit of luck, which usually ends in giving the ball away needlessly. If your talking about when we're 2-1 down with 5 mins to go then it's a different matter. But generally I've noticed an improvement

nearly everyone leads to fans getting aggitateing and urging them to just throw it, and for once the fans are not to blame

i will try rewatch tonight and note down the minutes we messed them up so you can go back and watch

From throw-ins... No we don't get goals.

... Sometimes you have to backwards, to go forwards...

Totally agree with you! we must be the only team in the league that when its a throw in its a disadvantage to the team, we are shite at taking them and always lose possesion as a result.:facepalm:

It isn't really a problem, but an annoyance, but it's better under MR than his predecessors...

Under AT this was a stupid tactic, we dogmatically threw it forward, time and time again, to Platt, and time and time again, we lost the ball and possession and were immediately on the back foot! Even more annoying as we were a 'passing' side but didn't grasp the fact if you had a free man back pass it him and build it up.

I think we are a lot better now at throw ins, last season they would be stood there for like 30 seconds waiting for somebody to move!

Totally agree with that. We're finding a little space and our men a lot more now. What I would like to see is when the opposition have a throw by their box, that we crowd and harry them a little bit more. Other teams do it to us.
