The higher number of throw ins is down to the lack of quality in the passing. Lower pass accuracy on the wings = more throw ins

Watching the CL Final last night I was struck by how few throw-ins there were. The quality of the passing was so very high.

The higher average throw in per game is not exactly significant. Unless I missed it, the stats also don’t say whereabouts the throw in are happening. Unless they’re in an attacking position then they’re unlikely to have much of an impact on the outcome of the game.

Having a player with a long throw in their armoury is always handy but I don’t think these stats necessarily suggest they’re more useful in L1 than the Championship. 
 

 

More throw ins due to teams being less accurate with their passing. Hopefully not a problem we will have.

I think his names above the door at The Smithfield.  Once met a bloke called Roger Dolphin with middle initial A.

Oh, I'd better inform the current landlady (E Bowler.... Ebola!?) that it needs taking down!

I have to disagree. The man was a cretin. Is it any surprise they used to pelt him with rotten vegetables.

He was a kind of genius - not just bad, but sooo bad he is held up in the cannon of English language poetry as uniquely awful poetry.

Oh bridge over the silvery Tay....

I'd hoped Mansfield Town would beat Port Vale in the Play Off Final for Nigel Clough.........No

I'd hoped Liverpool would beat Real Madrid in the Champions League Cup Final for my kids.........No

I'd hoped Huddersield Town would beat Notts Forest in the Play Off Final for me...........No

Surely my hope will improve early on this week.....................

I often do throw ins on the bet builders if I’m having a bet. In one of the games involving Florest there where nearly 90 throw ins that’s loads more than I’d seen before. It’s definitely true about the quality the lower down the leagues you go. It’s also surprising how few off sides aswell
