But if it leads to a shot on goal from the 2nd or 3rd ball then surely it is productive? Putting the ball in to the box to be defended and creating something from that regardless of who wins the first ball is beneficial. How many of Tozer's throws land straight on an attackers head? I bet their chances come from the panic it causes rather than a direct attempt at goal.

I am definitely watching with curiosity on Saturday, good point about causing panic, Tozers throws have directly resulted in a handful of goals, but not credited with the assists

Blocking off the walkways to the stand helps as well

Sorry DA but that's how I see it....

I know we've not had much success with them but I'm sure we'll take it last day to secure automatics skidding off a defenders head and into the net.

That all depends though, what if we could have had 40 shots on goal if we went with a shorter throw?
I will say your post has given me pause because I didn't expect us to have that many shots, just from watching our throws seem absolutely useless and often end up with the other team countering.
The reality is if we keep winning, I couldn't care less what happens with the throws!

Before i started the thread, i searched for long throws on the forum to see if there was an earlier one but it only came up with posts from yourself about how rubbish and ineffective our long throws are.
Twissy's corners must've been exceptional then! Remember we scored from 3 corners in a row against Chester one season. The fourth corner we didn't score from was met by cheers from the Chester fans!Bristol Shrimp wrote:I don't mind the long throws, statistically not many goals come from corners but for some reason whenever a team gets one all the fans get excited as though there's a good chance of something happening, I don't have the stat to hand but I'm sure it's around 1 in 90 corners leads to a goal yet we would still swing a corner in, it's the second/third ball where something could happen from a long throw in I guess much the same as a corner with a scramble.
