Is Luke Young our only provider of these? I thought HH could deliver them. We had plenty of opptunities in the first half down the right for some, but kept it short and kept losing the ball.

Jack Robinson, slayer of dreams, has just turned 20.
I thought Blackpool really used the long throw as a weapon and that the defence and particularly Hamer dealt really well with them , he must have punched or claimed at least half a dozen
Don't have a problem with it if it doesn't hold up play. The player taking the throw having to cross the field of play to do so really winds me up. Didn't they once find that Stoke / Delap took 15 minutes a game ? That's a scandal. I personally think that there should be a 15 second limit from ball going out of play until the throw is taken. Rule change needed but won't happen because it doesn't happen much in continental Europe where teams like to retain possession rather than the more direct approach adopted by the shite coaching in this country.

Thought Stephens was immense in defending these today. Wonder if SCP instructed him to drop in there for the long throws
Thought I remember Wiggins could do a throw, before he was injured. BTW, place a player right on the line, facing and in front of the thrower, sure to distract the thrower.
There aren't many players who can throw a ball as far as whoever Blackpool had doing it, or at least not so fast and with good precision! He managed to get them into the box with frustrating consistency, though I thought we defended against them well. Most 'long throws' are sort of lofted through the air, at least when Charlton take them, but yesterday they were very useful as an attacking method.

You might be thinking of Green or Hollands, both of those have long throws

Looked like he was holding a medicine ball above his head.
