What is their definition of a 'long goal kick'?

We won't go a season without the keeper missing out the close recipients, and instead pinging it to one of the full-backs near the half way line - we use this one sporadically.

But we may never just launch it as far as we can, aimlessly down the pitch.

I’ve no stats to back this up but think the ping out to full backs are always after a short pass out to a CB and a triangle back to the keeper, when some space is created.

Steele most likely to pick out Estupinan or Mitoma on the wing.

I guess we will see this pass less now He's sharing games.

Or as Matty Ryan usually did, straight into touch on about halfway.
