    Throw ins

    We've been diabolical at these all season. A throw in for us should be a tactical advantage but this year it's been an opportunity for the opposition. Thank God Steve Evans has realised this and identified it as a weakness.Throwing it back to Viktor helped today. This is an area we have to work on. A throw in for us should NEVER put us on the back foot....anywhere on the pitch

    Have noticed this for the last few months - clearly no formal. Shocking to think

    Free kicks and corners also been poor all season. Something we need to work on in the close season.

    Also a first yesterday was leaving one of our players(Nombe) up front when they had a corner, which in effect meant they had to leave 2 men more in a defensive role rather a free for all with 21 players in our box.

    Allelujah this is a big bug of mine something so basic when we have a throw in the likes of Smudge Revell etc used to show down the line for it to hold up or flick on whereas our current clueless bunch Hugill Eaves whoever run as far away as possible who the hell is Bramall/Revan whoever supposed to throw it to
    PS Glad Evans has noticed Haks is more of a threat further up the field though admittedly he didn’t have the best of games he’s the nearest thing we’ve got to someone supporting the main striker appreciate he’s had to be used at centre half because of MT recruiting Dads Army to play there

    Yes an instant impact for all to see and about time as we don't have the big boys to launch it to from a throw in.

    Something Warne would never do and he openly stated this. I think it nullifies less in an opposition attack and like you say, takes two out of their side going forward. Simple things that can make all the difference.
