He’s not played all season so wouldn’t have played anyway you’d presume

They've defenders out mate so probably had to bring Stevens in

I prefer worrying about what we are going to do, not what opposition players are missing.

I wouldn't worry about what we are going to do, however Barnet only just brought him in to cover for a defensive injury so that's at least 2 players they don't have for his position.

Back in the 1980s a certain town manager was worried about a long throw by another teams players long throws

When the said player was carried off shortly after the start of the match it was alleged that a certain town player shouted across to the bench he wont be a problem now boss will he lol

He joined them at the start of September, however it was his 1st game for them.

can be effective, however droll a tactic it is, a lot of lower league teams employ this tactic, if it really was a massive goal threat i think we'd see more of the top teams employ it, the fact that they don't suggests it is not a massive problem to professional teams.

Not sure I’d describe it as a droll tactic, but I recall looking forward to Denton getting on the end of Sam Muggleton’s throws and being consistently disappointed. It does seem to have worked for Wrexham and Stoke when they had Delap, though.

Talk of long throw always reminds me of Glen Hoddle’s, acting as a TV pundit, comments after Iceland scored their first goal against England in the 2016 Euros.
‘These defenders aren’t used to playing against a long throw’

It won’t be effective if we pin them in their own half

Just the thought…Sam Muggleton and the Plasterer sends shivers down my spine
