I listened to it and they m anaged to discuss long throws without once mentioning Delap , Ian wright said he's never seen a team who benefited from long throws . Well what would expect from somebody who played for that team in Norf London! When you get a corner, you put the ball in the box. Why not also if you can do that with a throw in? I could never understand Chelsea when they were always doing their short corner kicks, and even less so when Mr Derby was taking the corners. I'd have had Frank outside the box, ready to wallop one in...

Delaps throw ins were a thing of beauty and a freak of nature
No one has matched the velocity, speed and pin point trajectory

Not the first time I've this, but. I absolutely loved our throw ins from Rory. No least because it put the fear of god into our opponents and also the tactics employed to try and stop it from happening :-) I loved the throws from Rory as well. Just hope he could show Bauer how to fire missiles into the box.

To be honest I've often wondered why teams never seem to have a coordinated quick throw-in tactic whereby, for example, attacking players make immediate forward runs behind the defence knowing they can't be caught offside.. or other routines.. when you look at how meticulously planned and choreographed certain other set-pieces are, throw-ins have always seemed a bit ad-hoc to me. Half the time they lead to losing the ball immediately. I completely agree with you. A throw-in IS a set piece after all. With a forward running in behind the defenders, a quick flat throw in would be almost the same as a lofted through ball with the added advantage that the attacker can't be offside. It's something in hindsight that we could have used much more with Rory in the side and Fuller running in behind rather than just whipping it into the box.

The sewn-in towel was the ultimate fine tuning of a tactic that served us very well in those early seasons - super absorbent - none of yer bri-nylon shit..........awesome

Most decent pundits highlighted that what made Rory's throw unique was the speed of delivery combined with the flat trajectory.When opponents were prepared to concede corners rather than a throw-in you knew we had something special. Unfortunately we didn't evolve the tactic when teams,after a couple of seasons, started to cope better with the threat,if memory serves? Teams started to deal with them better even towards the end of the first season. They soon became a bit of a painstaking chore. Wolves away one season I seem to recall the ball was actually in play for only about 30 minutes. I think defenders started to relish the opportunity to put on a performance and deal with them. Also, it was only Myhill who once conceded a corner rather than a throw in.
