Ron Burgundy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The team is so static at throw ins it is almost schoolboy stuff. Even chasing the game late on yesterday it was woeful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyRightPeg Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Long throws need to go. Atkinson struggles to reach the box. We've never won a flick on ever. It's only worked once IIRC and it was when James Hill launched it against Aberdeen and a lucky rebound fell to Gino. Abandon ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruickie's Moustache Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Standard throw-in these days for us and many others is, take your time, allow the defense to regroup, chuck it to a guy 3-4m away who gives it back to the thrower. What happens after that seems to be a lottery. No idea why some NFL type passing moves or rugby style line-out drills can't be developed to open up space and make the defense sweat every now and again.

Several times this season I've seen us do just that despite there being a midfielder in acres of space only ½ a pitch width away. Baffling.

HeartsandonlyHearts Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 We would be better throwing straight to the opposition and then pressing them. Our attempts to attack from our own throw ins are horrendous. Kent last week against Livingston a prime example. Throw in Hearts, GOAL!! Livingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozi Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Feel like this is something we say every week and never improves, every opponent seems to get a flick on to their throw in and we regularly lose the ball, or just head it to nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDawg Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 While we're at it.....the kick off from the centre spot back to a defender sitting deep, or the goalkeeper, who launches the ball wide up the park where in nearly all cases it is picked up by the opposing defence or goes straight out for a throw to them. And I know....every team does it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I've seen us manage to work a ball all the way back to our 'keeper from both free kicks and throws in at or around the opposition's box. Recycling the ball is one thing, but deary me, the number of times we do that kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
