There are three times this season where Perch has played for a lengthy period of time:
Nottingham Forest 3 - 4 Newcastle United
Blackburn 4 - 3 Newcastle United
Newcastle 0 - 3 Chelsea
Norwich 4 - 2 Newcastle *update*
Goals conceded with Perch = 14 in 4 games = 3.5 goals per game avg
Goals conceded without Perch = 11 in 14 games = 0.78 goals per game avg
Enough said I think.
