The Long Throw

[MBcha]

Makes you wonder why we haven't been utilising Barkys throw more often for years doesn't it?

Second goal today from a flick on from a throw in and a dangerous chance for VDB in the first half too coming from that very same throw.

Great weapon to have in the arsenal!

He did have an injury to his wrist or lower arm for quite some time and played with it bandaged up, so perhaps that was a reason.

True, but surely other Players would have a half decent one.
Its a tactic that should certainly have been used more often even if only varied along with short throws.
It at least sometimes leads to some occasional excitement!!

I suspect AN was too much of a purist to use it. Possibly thought that it would make his in depth analysis redundant.

A lot more teams starting to use it

 

[HunterLionheart]

Get it directly into the box feels more useful as a tactic with Evans leading the line, for sure.

Not sure lumping the ball into the clouds has ever been described as purist football

To be fair to Alex Neil, I heard a rumor that barky only owned up to having a missile throw-in after he left, and it wasn't him that stepped up it was bodin that said to the boss that he'd seen the throw in during a lineout at a game of friendly pissed up touch rugby at his house pre lockdown. Bodin has a massive garden apparently.

I remember St. Ledgers goal 12 years ago from a Parkin long throw in which got us in to the play offs.
Good weapon when used well.

Sorry but Thats rubbish.
Barkys throw was used under Grayson & was occasionally used when chasing a game under AN.

Not according to bodin.

I have personally seen Barky use the long throw at Deepdale, not often enough mind!!

Barky is shy about his throw-in, that's why I heard bodin had to let the manager know about it.

TBF, Bodin's view from the treatment room probably isn't great.

Absolutely, I've seen it many times used by both Grayson and Neil.

Neil chose not to use it, but perhaps the wrist injury did have a bearing on it.

You must be able to see into bodins garden, which need binoculars from what I've heard 👀
