Ambitious Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I just thought I'd look at a few of the numbers to see where we are statistically in comparison with last season and what numbers have been crunched so far. Average posssession overall: This season (56.6%) last season (55.2%) Average possession home: This season (55.9%) last season (58.8%) Average possession away: This season (57.6%) last season (51.4%) Pass success overall: This season (81%) last season (79.8%) Pass success home: This season (81.8%) last season (81.6%) Pass success away: This season (79.9%) last season (77.6%) Short passes per game overall: This season (452) last season (398) Short passes per game home: This season (446) last season (424) Short passes per game away: This season (462) last season (371) Long passes per game overall: This season (83) last season (68) Long passes per game home: This season (81) last season (70) Long passes per game away: This season (85) last season (66) Shots per game overall: This season (13.4) last season (14.9) Shots per game home: This season (13.3) last season (17) Shots per game away: This season (13.5) last season (12.8) Shots conceded per game overall: This season (13.8) last season (13) Shots conceded per game home: This season (11.7) last season (10.5) Shots conceded per game away: This season (17) last season (15.6) A few interesting ones in there, well as interesting as they can be, which show perhaps we are not being as patient as we was last season. Another thing I noticed, which is quite telling, the 'player positions' in comparison to last season shows we're typically playing more deeper than last season. Although, the structure looks similar.

Ambitious Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Do you have a statistic which shows how much of your life you are wasting number-crunching? It's a quick copy and paste in fairness, but since you asked, as my job involves working in statistics/analysis, as well as this copy and paste, I would care to bet roughly 7% of my day as been wasted on number crunching.

I think you need to do less number-crunching and have more ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If I was to complain about this season then I'd say the play is slower, more deliberate and we're suffering for that. Occasionally we've gone hoofballing (Fulham for 20mins, Wednesday and Ipswich probably the longest spells) It's got that look where all teams start of trying to play possession football (before abandoning it in search of results). It's slow and not all that productive. Even negative at times. But that's if I was to complain. We've seen the odd glimpse. So long as the next 10 games or so show slight improvement over these opening 7 then by the time it comes towards the business time we hopefully be in full flow. A bit of a push from Forsyth would help. The DM role is a bit awkward because none of the players that have played there seem to tick all the boxes. Those stats are roughly what I'd expect.

Ashz09 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Seems about right the stat what stands out the most is the shots we have had. We don't seem to have many shots now especially out side the box! Obviously because we have been tighter in defence also it's a fine line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would have at least expected a like for like comparison based upon the teams we have played; substituting the promoted/relegated with like wise teams. otherwise a sterling effort but just not albert ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3232 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Interesting to see we are playing more long balls this season... I said we were in another thread and got shot down for it Grant is hoofing the ball almost every time he gets it whereas he didn't last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I think we're bollocksed. The car looks the same but it's not starting properly, not running properly, and its not going to get us to where we want to be. Send for Ed China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
