Match Day Thread Hull City v Huddersfield

Impressive figure, id be really interested to see that figure broken down as to where on the pitch those passes where completed, percentage in the defensive/middle/attacking third of the pitch etc.

 

and distance
sometimes two players stand a yard or two apart and pass to each other repeatedly

 

I would think Leicester and Southampton have just as much of that as us.

 

I was meaning all teams

 

If they all do it then how relevant is it? It's a like-for-like.

 

The foul stat is pretty damning. I know we've gotten better recently in attack, and I know we've been let down on a few penalty calls (which you'd be naive to depend on), but to get one penalty from that many fouls indicates we've not been spending as much time with the ball in their box as we should be. This has been improving though. Hand in hand it would suggest a lot of our passing success to create the pass stat would be between defence and DMs, but again, this seems to have improved over the past few games.

 

I asked for the data
there's a lot of difference between one short pass and a hundred short passes
a bit like there's a difference between being involved in one argument and 100 arguments

 

No doubt Ipswich fans are thinking we might be the top scorers in the Championship and League 1 and second in the table but wish they could watch all the passing Wigan are doing at 18th in League1.

 

I agree, hence me calling it impressive. It would just ( for me anyway ) be really interesting to see all the detail behind it and how it's made up etc. I have a feeling it'll be heavily in favour of defensive and middle third and show what most are saying as correct....it's the final third decision making that's letting us down. Teams are happy to let us have it in areas that aren't dangerous and are not going to waste energy trying to win the ball back in certain areas.

In that respect the info behind the fouls data would be interesting as well

 

Of course there is, no one's trying to argue with you on that.

 

Seems like it's the same 1 argument 100 times with Saxon Pete.

 

Haven't got the players to play that way though, have we...

 

Even if the ball hadn't been in the box resulting in more penalties, whats more damning is that I cant think of a goal from a set piece situation (but it is 1030) other as a cross or direct free kick. Likely there has been. The stats would be more interesting if it showed where those would against us were committed like on a heat map.

 

It’s dark red around our defensive area, fading through orange and yellow into their half and just a darker shade of green in the attacking third.

 

Have we scored a goal from a corner?

 

We scored a direct free kick v FC Massive.

 

Wasn’t it Delap who scored against them? Seem to remember him getting on the end of a long ball and smashing it top corner.

 

We scored 4 against Wednesday, 3 were Tufan and one was Connolly.

 

Ah of course for some reason I thought he meant Norwich
