I wonder if he got subbed off, partly as a precaution, and partly because he wouldn't have been able to take the throw in (what with the 30sec rule). Meaning that we'd have had less players in their box, and also would have been at risk of a counter attack late on
It was good to see that Bell also has a good long throw in him.
Thought I read somewhere that Burke has a long throw in his arsenal too?
Possibly, but Ramsay's also better in the air, so it makes more sense to have him in the box to possibly get on the end of one of Josh's throws than vice versa.
Scotland have a glut of good left backs but, if he continues the way he's playing, I think that Josh has a real chance of a Scotland call up at some stage.

An absolutely tremendous signing.
September October and November are all World Cup qualifiers but I’d be surprised if he isn’t called up to the squad in one of those camps (he might have to wait a bit longer for a cap depending on injuries)
Watching the extended highlights vs Leicester, Edwards (and Coventry) put in some really dangerous corners yesterday. I remember the odd dangerous one last season from him, but if he can do it more regularly it'll be another big strength to his game.
One of his long throws was in the highlights too, where Leaburn headed it at goal. It right into the middle of the box, I don't remember him getting them quite as far last season.
Looked to me like he might have been working on both his corners and long throws.
The throw to Leaburn was as good as a corner. Huge distance and nice and flat.
I'm still unconvinced with CC's corners. He had an excellent game, but they are a bit hit and hoof for me. In fact, I think Ramsay may have scored with his header had he not had to generate the entire pace and direction himself. A bit of whip from the instep, please.

I think those "hit and hoof" corners are on purpose. We want them long and high for the likes of Jones to head back in to the danger zone, like the Watford goal.

Undoubtedly they are. Against Watford Docherty blocked the man so Jones could get a header across. He tried it again on Saturday but was penalised.
Hi there! I gather Lord Conor is a duff Terry New Signing Taylor replacement cos while he can deliver a corner onto someone's head 5 yards out, he doesn't absolutely smash it there
I can remember a time when his corners weren't beating the first man, so I'm not going to complain about them not having enough whip when they're going far post.
When Leicester scored was the only time in the game Edwards backed off his man, was on him immediately otherwise
Yeah took one step too far back and was punished. That’s what it’s like at a higher level - the margins get much smaller. Been flawless otherwise. You can see he fancies it against any winger.

Maybe Danny Hylton is already working his magic
