Glad he’s off for him and us, gets beat 1 on 1 far to often, and don’t have to put up with his long throw attempts. Isn't the problem with his throws that nobody attacks them? From what I've seen plenty end up in generally the right area and presumably he's told to send them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 If Hamer going means McAlney stays for the season I don't mind. Actually think by playing him regardless of form as they did they probably harmed his value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long looping throws aren't exactly hard to defend either. Most of the time we'd be better taking a quick throw and not giving the opposition time to get back.

I disagree, I don’t think we used them enough. It’s the equivalent of having a free corner. A quick throw doesn’t necessarily mean a cross bring put into the box. We would invariably lose possession.

They got nowhere with their long throws, as we had time to get back and organise. It's not like a corner either - the ball is travelling much slower, and it's more predictable where it will land.

And yet City were unable to cope with Cheltenham’s long throw last Saturday. So it can cause problems for any team at any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A midfielder from the Northern Premier League Division One North who "has bags of potential" but will wear the No9 shirt because it's available. OK, I'm not serious there, but I sincerely hope that a proper striker is coming in because, as it stands, we don't really have an out and out front man that can bully defenders and put himself about. There is no way we should be having to play Bahamboula up front and McAleny isn't big enough to ruffle feathers. I don't think Dearnley is a genuine striker, Grant is more of a No10 IMO and, if the answer is Blackwood, God knows what the question is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep wondering why with all the tinkering HK hasn't yet played Grant as an central midfielder, he's usually been wide or up front where he's not really effective. He's strong and what's more can actually pass a ball unlike some others tried there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
