    ... are we the only team that cannot successfully restart the game from a throw in?

    This season every game I’ve been to I’ve had massive frustration every time we get one.

    Surely they could spare fifteen minutes a day in training coaching some movement and rudimentary routines?

    For a team like us the basics like all forms of set pieces need to be right. We give it away enough trying to pass it without throwing it straight to the opposition too, having wasted a minute or so.

    I agree we've been poor from throw ins but part of the problem is players walk away from the player taking the throw in and thus don't give him an outlet. No one wants the responsibility.

    Well in that case we need to work on that as well then.
    The one that particularly annoys me is when a player under no pressure lets the ball run out for a throw, so instead of having easy possession we then eventually throw it to someone who has at least one man on him.
    I watched QPR v Blunts a few weeks ago - its easier to be analytical when you dont passionately support one side and I noticed how good the Blunts were with throw ins. As soon as the ball went out they were looking to take it quick before QPR got organised, and usually kept possesion.
    We seem to never get clean possesion from a throw and I think we must lose it around 75% of the time -its really annoying.

    Though yesterday it wasnt so bad because we could rely on Reading giving us the ball back after a few passes

    Or a corner. Or a free kick for that matter.

    We are not a tall enough team team to make an impact from corners.

    I suspect if Hourihane was still taking them we would be a lot more threatening but floated deliveries are food and drink for the defenders and keepers at this level unless you have someone like Andy Carroll attacking them. We arent much smaller than last season when we scored a fair few from corners and free kicks

    we have become stale and predictable in dead ball situations, those floaty fluffy free kicks of Fryars against Leeds were complete dross.

    We could have the Chicago Bulls in the box but we're not going to score from corners if we either hit the first man or aim for the opposing corner flag. Fryers and Moncur's deliveries have been poor.
