It's been a long time coming but great to see a Town player again that can actually throw the ball in like a corner, big bonus.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Gets the ball well clear of danger when we have a throw in deep in our own half as well.

The noise around the ground when he took his first throw was pretty funny. A sort of, 'Ooohaaurggh!' as it went further and further into the opposition box. A real asset to have something like that in your locker. He played pretty well against some tricky wingers as well so a very positive performance. Just needs to get some fitness from somewhere.

We'll have to learn to attack these long throws if he's playing as well. We didn't get anyone running through when the ball was bouncing around in the box on a couple of occasions.

Zac Mills apperently had a long throw just never did it. Mitch Rose did well with his long thrown obviously not up to Cropper standard.
