BAN LONG BALLS 21:52 - Aug 17 with 611 viewsITFC_96

Long balls need to be banned. I hate that crap style of football and it doesn't suit any of our players bar Piggott. We should be playing on the floor.

Don't mind going long ish with 10 mins to go, seems a lot of the late goals are just a result of direct stuff that causes panic..

The past 4 games, I can count on a single hand the amount of long balls that lead to something other than the opposing team getting the ball back.

I’d be more than happy to play long balls and have someone with a monster throw in if it meant actually winning

I'm just talking about the last throw of the dice, two up front, get bodies up, get the second ball, watch Cardiff tonight, two goals down, seven minutes to go, it's all they did..

But agree re punting generally...

Cheltenham beat us tonight using long balls.
Consider that.

It certainly made a mockery of the Jackson substitution. Watching him trying to win headers sandwiched between two centre halves was pitiful.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

The first goal was a cross, not really a long ball. And many teams can use it effectively, but we are not one of them. We need to play it on the ground, our players are good technically and all of our forwards (Edwards and Dobra especially) seem to draw fouls.

It's a by-product of our inability to progress the ball forwards in other ways, rather than a deliberate tactic, isn't it?
