Throw ins

[Jellybean]

It's just bizarre, given you can't be offside why don't they just chuck it down the line and get foster or one of the many wingers chasing them? As others have said they lob the ball generally at a team mates knees then wonder why we lose possession

[dougcollins]

Every throw that Al Dakhil has ever taken has been a foul throw - I think only once has a ref pulled him for it.

[Tricky Trevor]

Too often we crowd our thrower and the opposition put a marker on each of them, possibly knowing this is a massive weakness of ours. Start further away and making different runs would help.

I said to my son in law that he should be getting out wide and screaming for the ball and getting chalk on his boots. Sadly this was never going to happen.

I suppose that's because your son-in-law is not a Burnley player.

Strange or sarcastic response? You know and I know I was referring to Ramsay getting chalk on his boots and actually wanting the ball instead of trotting around going through the motions.

Certainly can, 2012 - 2022

1978 - 2024 for me.

I thought it was me getting it wrong when he takes one, it is the worst throwing action I have seen and expect him to be pulled up by the ref each time

Just glad Trafford doesn’t take throw ins, or this thread would be 50 pages by now.

This is just so frustrating to me, watching where the ball actually goes and who comes away with it, we are (have to be) the worst side in the top two divisions at this , what should be, relatively easy task! It's got so bad for me I am closely watching the other teams in many games and how they perform this "advantage" that we lose 99% of the time.

Then I look at set pieces and I've come to the conclusion we don't really have a set piece coach/specialist, unless he's a secret Blackburn supporter. Extremely simple things, such as when Brownhill is clearly going to take a corner or freekick, why, ohhh why?? This has to be the first single improvement that could be made, and I feel anyone watching how he performs at this task would be shaking their head and wondering out loud, why, just why is this being allowed to continue, wearing the captain's armband or not. Same for how we set up for oppositions corners/free kicks, I really don't believe there is one bit of coaching going on for these situations, obviously I'm passionate about this subject and it has to be the absolute easiest thing to change/improve on.

It is all immensely frustrating, I completely agree.

Vitinho's corners are awful but Taylor's aren't much better... It would be a hard pick to choose who's worse.

Take so extremely long just to always give the ball away. Hurts the eyes to see them doubt after seeing 3-4 potential options... To just throw a howler towards a marked player.

Be patient
Throw ins is lesson 120

About another 30 game weeks to go before that comes in then.
