It was used but very rarely under Moore and Jones. I Sky plussed the Albion v villa game in December and in 5th minute of injury time we get a throw in and Gayle launches it into the box

I suppose it's a bit like Harry Kane taking corners under Roy. I'd hope Darren and Jones were thinking Dwight should be on the other end of a set piece.. It could be a good thing he's kept his powder dry until now for the play offs.

Yes found this totally baffling that this was so underused or not at all earlier in the season.We have some of the best centre backs at attacking the ball in the air and yet we refused this option.I can only think that Jones wanted an all out intricate football and the long throw didn't fit in.Of course why not mess about and try to play several passes instead of one threatening throw in.Unbelievable !

A few people missing the point here.
The biggest question is, how did Shan persuade Jenkins to buy 2 big blue beach towels ffs?
