BTW where's Bolton in that list? I mean... this just doesn't happen, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what it looks like adjusted for average time in possession though? Eg Stevenage see a lot less of the ball in a game - I imagine they put in more crosses per minutes in possession than Peterborough. One possible reason the better teams tend to put in more crosses is just that they see more of the ball. (Edit: although I notice Luton and Everton have the most crosses in the PL this season.)

Thanks! But yeah this feels intuitively right. Stevenage and us do seem quite 'crossy' in our approach.

I imagine Stevenage, Derby and Pompey are mixed crosses, probably mostly at head height, whereas a LOT of Peterborough's crosses are along the floor/cutbacks.

Malty Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Does a long-throw count as a cross? If so Burton Albion will now be too after last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
