    Oh for the days of an Erich Schaedler or a Gordon ‘Juke Box’ Durie that could hit the back post with a throw in

    As good as a corner kick

    They don’t seem to make footballers nowadays like they used to

    On his last game for us Mark Milligan launched an exocet. Why the hell we had been hiding that all season. Efe Ambose also had a long throw which we never took advantage of. As team we have been awful from throw-ins since the 80s We have improved under JR.

    Remember the Mark Milligan one and Efe looked useful too when given the opportunity but not often

    The thrower is also the only guy not marked, so the very simple solution seen often but for some reason not often done at Hibs, is a cushioned volley pass back to the thrower, who is then involved again right away.
    Can't remember seeing it that much recently, but for a while this was one of two things we commonly did with throw-ins (the other being hump it up the line), and it fairly regularly involved the ball being passed straight back out of play. It's what comes to mind for me when I think about our peak of crap throw-ins.

    It's a perfectly good strategy if you execute it well, of course. It further emphasises what's been said above: that it's not just about the thrower, but the movement of other players to receive the ball and technical ability to do something when they get it.

    Usually however, for a cushioned volley to not get intercepted, it needs to be 3 or 4 yards away and that then means we are in to a 3v3 (or similar) in a very tight area of the pitch, which makes it very difficult to get out.
