Is it just me who has noticed over the past few seasons, there seems to be no movement from throw In's, you watch other teams and they always seem to have players who want the ball, But when we get one it seems like everyone is frozen
This is quite a random thread considering throw ins are a minor detail of the game and we haven't played in almost 2 weeks.
TB I have thought it for a while and I saw someone mention something on the Ambrose thread and it got me thinking
And you say its Minor but if there was more movement it might lead to a goal scoring opportunity ATM when we get throws, we just hand possession back over

I blame whoever is taking the throws. They only have to say "Simon Says, Move around" Problem solved.

Forward and down the line, forward and down the line, forward and down the line, do it quickly, do it quickly, do it quickly forward and down the line....used to work in the Woolwich and District League I can tell you!
I once said on here that our throw-ins have been awful for years but was shouted down by Off_it and others saying i knew nothing and how unimportant it was.
we basically never use throw ins to our advantage. always used to think we might as well hand the ball over to the opposition straight away.
Many years ago when I was a linesman on the Conference League, that League was used for a couple of trials of changes in the Law. For one season only, throws were replaced by placing the ball on the floor at the point where the ball went out of play and the game restarted like a free-kick.
I guess the logic was that the game (apart from the goalkeeper) is played without hands. I never had any feedback with regard to the findings of the experiment at the end of the season-long trial.

Yes, I remember it well. It was a bit strange seeing someone take what was effectively an indirect free kick from the touch line. Defenders tended to avoid giving away throw-ins near their goal and often opted for a big hoof up the field. I could never see the benefit of the scheme.
An article by Finktank in the Times last year puts an interesting slant on this. Apparently there is no correlation between the number of corners a team wins and the outcome of the game. However there is a correlation between the number of throw ins you have in the attacking third of the pitch and the outcome of the game. So throw ins in the attacking third are important!
Slightly off subject. Whilst as a linesman on the Conference, we also trialled off-side changes, which could only be given goal side of a line drawn all across the pitch in line with the current Penalty Area.

It could be the case that having more throw-ins in the final third is the result of a good attacking side, not necessarily that winning throw-ins in the final third means winning more games.
I would like to see the stat which shows who has the ball 5 seconds after our throw, when we are in the opponents half.(This stat will not exist) If keeping the ball is paramount then it's worth working on ?
Danny Green was the only long thrower in recent times, but it can be as effective as a corner if put in the danger area.
Throw ins should always be part of the full backs role. Unless someone has a freakish long throw who is not a full back
I'm more bothered about the amount of foul throws committed. Not just in our games, this pisses me off probably more than anything else in football.
It has a direct effect on Sunday football and kids football where these sub-standard throws are pulled up and the culprits are often so confused as to why because they watch professionals do it the wrong way
Maybe other teams have the same problem, I don't know, but Charlton's throw-ins appear to have been a problem area for many years, not just a few, under successive managers. Good to see it hasn't changed under Big Bob! It's part of the Charlton way.

It smacks a little bit of lack of invention but I am hopeful that we will see a new array of tricks (ie not being static) under the current gaffer.

BUT I LOVE IT.

Now what was that train number!

Surely this was worse though..
