Throw ins

[1973Blade]

How come whenever we have a throw in in our half, we end up losing possession? We don't have enough players near to the ball. There were a couple of occasions when Colchester could have scored following our throw in.

No one moved when we had a throw in, just like whenever someone looked for a pass, they all seemed to try and hide.

Just mentioned on another thread that basham doesn't offer himself. As a midfielder he should be wanting the ball more. He's too static a lot of the time

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

That was the biggest joke of the first half, no one got open, we simply had no clue.

Tonight not one of them wanted the ball.

Until evil McEv's chucked one to start the move for our second goal

Far too many with players hiding though.

That is easy to answer - because no one in our team is comfortable on the ball they all HIDE and do not want to be seen to make a mistake.

Happens all the time in midfield - particularly centre midfield when no one SHOWS for the ball.

Baxter gets it deep - anyone can play that deep - fucking easy. Good players take responsibility when the going gets tough.

Not a fan of Freeman defending, but he will always show for and take a pass, because he has confidence with a football at his feet. JCR and I suppose Woolford will take a ball but the important area is centre mid - the bit of the team that links everything else together - that's why Bury and Colchester looked so good - they had proper midfield players.
