Long Throws

[bladesadviser]

This may sound very simple, but how can I get the best out of my long throw specialist. I have a left back with a long throw of 20 and he has the flat long throw attribute. I am in the conference and after 25 games I have seen him use it once and we scored. Then never again and to add insult to injury I have lost the last two games 2-1 with the the opponents winner coming from a long throw both times

I have tried the following;

I have listed him as the no 1 throw taker as I do my corners and free kicks. I have also tried not listing to see if he would take the throw by default

I have had the throw type as mixed then tried long with no change

I watch in extended highlights and have looked at the stats at the end of the game and he has taken around two or three neither of which I see. Surely at conference level that sort of throw would create havoc from someone with that skill level and it clearly is for my opponents!!

Has anyone got any ideas?

[STFC will rule again]

I keep mine on Mixed and he does the odd one but it'd be nice if I could get him to do it all the time, nearly always score from them i've found.

Make sure you have a good header of the ball on the near post to give him a target. I tend to get 2-3 attempts at the near post per match with a long flat throw.
