Throw Ins

Throw Ins

The up hill slope Riis had to run up was a quagmire even before he attempted to throw the ball today. It was absolutely ridiculous watching him trying to launch a ball into the box. What a waste, if we were still playing now we wouldn't have scored.
 
We are trying to model our approach on Cardiff last season. Play no football, stay solid then score from a long throw or corner. But, typically for us, we do it half arsed by trying to do it with personnel who simply can't do it.

I am surprised the senior pros are apparently standing by this horse shit.
 
Had all week, all week, a set piece move could've been perfected in training, a bit of imagination and create a chance.. a fucking pub team manager would do better

It’s moronic
Our best striker should be in the box. Not taking a throw in
And
We can over analyse to the fine end of a fart but will always come to the conclusion it doesn’t work

Deffo.
And yes, as remarked upon in another post - the tragectory is wrong, & it's too loopy. Needs work.
And YES - BAN him from taking them in the final quarter, he should be on Our Receiving
End.... (errr, yet another note to Frankie, duh)
Has Frankie learned nothing from that England v Iceland game, with Harry Kane taking corners ???
Don't answer that, PR just get rid.
 
I’ve no objection to the long throw occasionally, but to use it every time and to use our leading goal scorer to take them is just ridiculous. I know Ched scored a header recently at Middlesbrough, but we‘re not renowned for scoring headers other than Bauer from the odd corner, so why on earth we persist with long throws is beyond me. It shows a total lack of imagination from our coaching staff. We must be the most predictable team in the Championship.
 
They have their place on an occasional basis - but not every time. Nor should your major scorer taking them. It’s the stuff of 2nd division Scottish football - which is where our head coach belongs.
More than this - at least Ledson has been dropped, but his set pieces were no better.
All lie at the coach’s responsibilitiy/door.

This.
A tactic to be used sparingly and only when Barky is playing!!
 
Our "tactics" and the way we set up from throw ins is rapidly becoming me biggest annoyance, amongst many, with the football we play under Frankie. It could be the one thing that turns me away from watching PNE despite having a season ticket. It is a throwback to the 70's & 80's, basic, unimaginitive , lazy dross. That is the sum total of poor coaching from someone out of their depth. I've NEVER seen us have any form of success from these chucks in to the box from both Riis & Barky. You can tell from the body language of the players that they have no belief that anything good will ever come of it. The fact that we persist with it & the collective groans from the crowd are ignored is quite staggering. It's embarrassing. I dont want to jump on to the loud bandwagon calling for Frankies head but the fact he persists with this offence to football does him no favours
