Just Back on the Bus

Quoted from Maringer

At the moment, Tharme's long throw is really effective at helping us clear our lines when the ball goes out deep in our half. Very helpful when we're under pressure. Also good for time-wasting as he trots slowly across to take them. Not quite Crocombe-cramp level of timewasting, but useful all the same. The referee can't complain about him time-wasting in these situations when he's been doing exactly the same all the way through the match.

Unfortunately, you're certainly right about the attacking value. In the past two or three home games which I've seen, he must have hurled the ball into the opposition box 30 or more times in total and we've not really got close to scoring from most of them. Just don't win the first header and it never seems to fall to our players whenever it isn't cleared out of the box.

Quoted from rancido

When the long throws come into the penalty area it's up to our attackers to anticipate where the ball will go and react accordingly. The long throw can be a deadly weapon but there has to be a plan and structure on how to use it. Too often several players go for the same ball.

That's very harsh, Pepple literally looked like a Sunday league footballer. Obikwu seems a bit disinterested but I don't know whether that's just the way he runs. I admit he's disappointed me as the Cov fans said he had blistering pace and used his body well. I'm yet to see him beat a defender for pace and despite being 6 foot 2/3 when he jumps he's about 5 foot 2. When he gets the ball to feet he looks capable but sometimes is often seen wanting too much time, there was a couple of times yesterday where he got himself a couple yards and shot. I agree with a couple posters on this thread that i'd much rather of seen Gardner given minutes however, been impressed with what i've seen at Boro and he uses his body very well. If your good enough, you're old enough and the lad quite clearly knows where the goal is. Too many times we've had young forwards in the youth team that score a lot of goals and we've not given them significant chances in the first team over the past years. Mulready and Southwell were two that scored a lot of goals as youngsters and we were too busy giving other teams players minutes. We can't let that happen again and I hope next season Cameron is used significantly because he's a special talent.

The problem we as a L2 club have with these young lads on loan is that they’re so inexperienced we’re basically just giving them their first taste of men’s football. It’s a big deal for them to get to grips with and so the majority of them look crap and go back to their club with mixed reviews at best . A couple that spring to mind are that lad from Bristol city who’s doing well now in their first team and Seb Revan who most on here dismissed but has had a decent season on loan to Rotherham . We’d be far better trying to give our youngsters a go rather than just take other clubs developing players on .

Looks off from this angle

Kaydn Jackson was also raw.  They usually develop over time though.  We have limited time.
