Just watching Cousins playing for England U17s (Unfortunately we lost 0-1) in the semi-final and he took a throw in Delap style and reached the penalty spot
Silly question time!
Is the pitch for U17s a full size one?
Holland were a lot better than us in the first half but England came back into it in the 2nd

I'm not sure about pitch sizes Creepyaddick but this sounds promising to me . I always remember a real cracking game we had with Stoke and Delap at the Valley when we won 2-1 , he caused us no end of problems .
Apart from Greg Halford and in the 70's Mark Penfold I can't remember when we have had a potent throw in expert. It would certainly add to our effectiveness.
The Valley: Pitch
Size: 112 x 73 yards So ours is 5 yards wider so an extra 2.5 yards to the P Spot
Yes, Leaburn was good at long throws. Shame he wasn't quick enough to get on the end of them as well.
"The thing you notice about Jordan most of all is the level-headedness with which he goes about his business.
"He goes away with England three or four times a season, although he feels as though at times that has interrupted his season and finds it difficult to adjust when he comes back into playing academy football.
"That's such an honest view and he has said that has affected one or two of his performances for the U18s.
"I know from talking to the England staff they couldn't be more delighted with him. His season is far from finished as he's just came back from the European U17 Championships and has two weeks before he goes off to the World Championships in Mexico.
"Typically, Jordan is worried when he comes back, and he knows he has to rest when he comes back, is worried at how that might affect him as he starts the new season. He so much wants to do well, but equally he needs to be sensible and he is going to need some down time when he gets back from Mexico before he kicks off the new season.
