Aye I don’t think Goss is world class or anything. Was more meaning it shows how shite our delivery’s been for the past 15 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Rolle 514 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I haven’t seen enough of Goss yet to convince me, seems to float them in too high but we’ve been really poor at corners for a while so hopefully he’ll prove to be effective. We should mix it up when it comes to free kicks depends where it is and who fancies it. Alves scored a cracker early on in the season so when he’s back (like it or not he will be) he could be given a chance along with Tav, Murphy and Candeias, not sure if Goss has the power. With penalties - don’t fix it if it ain’t broken - so should be Tav for me until he misses a couple then Windass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we have tall enough players, unless you mean a player who can get it past the penalty spot every time sobwe could bring our CB's up effectively turning it into a corner.

I get your point mate, and yes it would be when the throw is between the 18 yard line and the bye line so the taller players could come up. It is probably only a few who have the ability to perfect it but can certainly be effective IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I cannot remember his name but he was the best I have seen, I think he is either retired or in the lower leagues now.

Maybe he’s the man? Although, it’s not as if we’ll get many..... Edit - red letter day for your diaries - HG5 had something positive to say about Windass! I try to be fair...

Aye, could hit the back post from about quarter pitch distance. Was excellent watching him do it. Surprised I have never seen anyone be able to get close to the distance he could get. Although, those folk that do the forwardflip throws can get some range on them albeit with no accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I posted this on another thread, but when Alves arrived he smacked in a great free kick and shortly after came close with another. Since then I can’t remember him taking them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Murty should know since its him who takes the training who has the best chance from which side and distance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
