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?

Ramsay hates it when Edwards comes over from the left to take a long throw on the right. Ramsay also has a long throw.

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.

Blucher

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.

Ferryman

Chronicles spoke to him after the game and he's OK.

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.

Maybe Danny Hylton is already working his magic

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.

When Leicester scored was the only time in the game Edwards backed off his man, was on him immediately otherwise

I think because the ref had got onto him for going into their bloke too hard a minute or two beforehand.

Who said the Refs were better at this level

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 

aliwibble

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.

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.

MarcusH26

Was hoping to see him in the Scotland squad but it seems both Robertson and Tierney are both miraculously fit.

Pound for pound one of the best signings we have made in years. Whoever scouted him deserves a big fat bonus. Minimum 7/10 every week. Tailor made for this football club. 

superclive

totally agree. bloke is absolutely quality, consistent hard working and mot short of talent.. his cross at qpr was absolutely class. he is in charlton legend zone. as a manager you love players like him.. cometlwy dependable and committed, so lucky to have him

The Red Robin

Been saying it for over a year. He’s our best player.

Absolutely! 

Would love to see him get a Scotland call up now

Braziliance

He is very good, can't help but think he would be better in a back 4 and was used primarily as a defender, he doesn't offer much attacking wise, but he is quality as a pure defender and for his reliability/consistency.

Definitely one of the best signings of the past decade and imo there's an argument he is better than Wiggins who are of course are best left backs since we left the prem

Would say Lloyd Jones myself, although Kayne Ramsay has to be up there and does have the highest ceiling for any of our players.

Peak Wiggins offered more going forward with his pace.  Not much in it defensively .  Josh is certainly the best since him defensively .  Loved Jay Dasilva for the technical ability . 

fenaddick

Edwards is good going forward and delivers a good ball. He partly isn't as attacking because of our lopsided system but some of it gets overlooked because of how attacking the WB on the opposite side is. This isn't the heatmap of someone who doesn't get forward often, he just doesn't have targets in the box enough

fenaddick

The spots on that heatmap on the right hand side for long throws and corners are very funny too

I really like Josh but tbh up till a week ago I think he has had an average at best start to the season, and was also not at his best in the play offs at the tail end of last season. Was starting to get concerned of his ability to step up, particularly if he has someone will skill or pace against him, but I think he’s preformed more like ‘last season Josh’ the last two games

A thing I really enjoy about him is that he's always involved in the argey bargey during corners and free kicks! Cost us a goal this season but when we are defending it is quite often him picking himself up off the floor!

I’ve thought for a while he knows how to win free kicks, and not just when he’s on the ball.

I enjoy us not being too soft as a team, and he’s been an important part of that.

Reminds me a bit of Pratley in that ability to see a bit of contact coming, get his body in front and then fall down like an accordion down some stairs from the slightest touch. The ref always gives it
