Throw in coach

An interesting read in yesterday's Grauniad. I remember reading on some thread here how some people noticed we always seemed to waste and lose possession from throw ins. Perhaps we need to look at recruiting someone like this guy.

Gronnemark has featured on here before, and the article mentions that he has worked with FCM in the past. I don’t think he’s employed, more a clinic and sessions revisited through the season. Maybe BFC have used him? Mads B S has suddenly revealed a long-throw...

Is there a real science to long throws ? Just launch it in there and load the box with tall players.

It's not just about long throws into the box. It's about all the players understanding their role in a throw-in in a specific situation. For example, a throw-in just in our half and most of the players surrounding that area of the pitch, you'll notice Jensen in the full back position and a lone Brentford player wide on the half-way line on the other side... thrower > Jensen > cross-field ball into space for the runner.

Watch the long thrown into the box: players set up crowding the far post while Jensen looks like going short. If the player closest to him is unmarked, Jensen > receiver > back to Jensen for delivery to the far post. Usually, that opportunity is covered so Jensen steps back for long throw but all the players move to new positions – near post overload + players on the edge of the box and far post to receive a flick-on or clearance. It sounds simple but it's a team play.

Anybody keep tabs on how many goals this tactic has actually led to? It's a bit unedifying and feeds those detractors who compare us to Pulis's Stoke of yesteryear.

A very low percentage considering we must do this 5/6 times per game

Jensen often licks his finger to get a better understanding of wind speed and direction

Yes, @badgerbee does. Even put a link to the thread two posts above yours.
6 throwins have led to goals incl. the goals scored from penalties won from a throw-in situation

Cheers @aslan
Admittedly, not all those have been from what would be classified as "long throws", but are still deemed set pieces
(I think only those scored in the West Ham game, were not from long throws).

The one vs Brighton was a short throw too, but from pushing the CBs forward ?

I don't know. Maybe it's a worthwhile tactic then. ?‍♂️

I do get a bit frustrated with our throw ins. Not questioning the long throw rather the more regular throw in. We very rarely take a quick throw in and gain any advantage from one. Surely occasionally a quick throw in does allow time for the opponent’s defence to get organise. We often throw a long ball down the line and regularly give away possession. It seems to me that when we are in a game where we are getting little possession, let’s at least keep it for a while with a simple throw in to someone’s feet rather than launching it down the line and it invariably coming straight back at us. Moan over ?

My worry is that we are putting too much workload on Jensen. He’s absolutely knackered when he comes off in games. At the moment the backup is Ethan, (missing MBS?) but that automatically takes his height out of the opposition’s box. On yesterday’s evidence, it shouldn’t be Damsgaard, he’ll score from one soon. Similarly Norgaard, when fit. JDS can’t be given the extra duty on a wonky hip.
One of the young’uns - Hickey, Roerslev, Janelt maybe, need to be coached up as alternates.

The EFL have banned towels from ball drying from next season, wonder if the PL will follow suit

Noticed more sides trying it. Antonio last night for WHam tried a few

Presumably because it takes up valuable playing time and/or why should the team with the throw have the benefit of an outside aid?

It’s generally one or the other. With a long(ish) throw, it takes place from a set spot on the touch line. Anything shorter, and the thrower has to participate in a 20 yard hop, skip and dance routine towards the opposition’s goal line. Marks are awarded, and later displayed on the 4th Official’s board during 2nd half stoppages….

Another stupid rule brought in where the authorities think they are taking the game forward. There are far more important things to worry about in the game that need sorting out that would make a real positive difference, yet they waste their time and money on this. Will make no noticeable difference to the game whatsoever. Sums up their ineptitude.
