The stats guy is obviously watching this game via teletext. My estimate would be 65-70% to us, possibly higher.
I dont know, they’ve had some possession but that one shot aside done little with. I’m surprised it’s only 43% for us but don’t think we’ve had loads more of the ball than them, just many more attempts at goal and possession high up the field
I can’t remember them stringing 3 passes together. No way have they had anywhere near as much possession as us.
Stats & damn lies! 43% for a dominant team is plainly nuts - they need to sack the lazy statistician! Pathetic!
The stats are done by OPTA. Assessor at every game. No idea how they record it but they’re usually pretty accurate. There is a trend here, though - loads of games this season where we’ve had considerably less possession but way more attempts at goal.
Just watched their highlights. Don't show us hitting the bar or the goal ruled offside. Surely they were the closest anyone came to goals last night?!
