Why do we give away possession straight from the kick off ?

Re: Why do we give away possession straight from the kick off ?
The idea is that the ball either goes straight out of play or the opposition head it out of play and so they are in a defensive position early on. It's a rugby kind of approach of playing for territory.

Re: Why do we give away possession straight from the kick off ?
There have been numerous explanations on past threads. Not saying I agree with it but it's to move possession upfield and then pin the other team in off their throw in. Whether it works in practice is another matter!

I really hope it's not an instruction from management to do this and rather just something Wedgebury does. It sets a tone of hoofing it from the start and suggests we're incapable of retaining possession for a few passes from kickoff

It shows how little confidence the management have in the players recruited or their ability to coach them. No wonder the football is desperate when we hoof it into corners and hope the opposition mess up and gift us possession. It is like rugby....but if they hadn't noticed a football is round and not oval and so doesn't create confusion from inconsistent bounces ! |

Re: Why do we give away possession straight from the kick off ?
It's not a new phenomenon. We did it quite regularly under Denis Smith in the promotion season. I remember being baffled as the ball was punted over Morrell's head and out of play repeatedly. The explanation makes sense even if you don't necessarily agree with it.
Now, are any bookies willing to offer odds on the time of the first throw in during our games? Easy money to be made provided we win the toss. Posted via mobile theme |
