It also means nothing if we don't get something from Stoke Saturday.

Massive game

One day we may have a neutral ref. The Aussie we had last night was no better than the English cheats we usually have to suffer. Beat Stoke next and we should be able to relax when NW shows up at CCS.

It can mean nothing in individual games But i guarantee you that the vast majority of those teams in the top 6 of each division have the best possession stats You will get the odd years like with Leicester but they are rare

The current top two teams for possession in each league in England's top five leagues, with their league position in brackets:


Premier League: Manchester City (2nd) and Brighton (7th)

Championship: Burnley (1st) and Swansea (13th)

League One: Ipswich (2nd) and Bolton (6th)

League Two: Salford (7th) and Swindon (11th)

National League: Notts County (2nd) and Chesterfield (3rd)


Of those ten teams, six are currently in the top six in their league (admittedly Salford are in a play-off place as the places go down to 7th in that league).

Of those six teams, only Burnley are top of their league.

Maybe what i should have stated was that the top teams are all likely to have had more than 50% possession meaning possession is a vital stat in most cases

if you look at a full season take premiership last year too 10 all had more than 50% but bottom 10 all less than 50%

Yeah fair point. Sorry, I probably slightly misinterpreted your post :thumbright:

Its definetly better to watch when you side as more possesion but goals win games.

A bit of both would be nice! Short supply of both this season. :ayatollah:

Not strictly true !! If we don’t get something on Saturday then last night was even more important!!

In reality any points are important right now but those Huddersfield and Rotherham games are real 6 pointers.
