Captain Sean Morrison was a colossus in the derby day draw with the Swans, but with a passing rate of just 54.8%, he is the defender with the worst passing stats in the division.

You have to take these stats with a pinch of salt. Any side which knocks the ball around at the back for ten minutes without going anywhere is going to have a high accuracy passing accuracy and high possession statistic.
Its the quality of the pass and possession that matters. We probably had poor stats in our promotion season because we got the ball forward early and thus the passes were more likely to be cut out.

Agreed, I was just watching his pre match presser for Carlisle and he said we had about the same amount of passes as Swansea. So that shows that we are playing much more ‘football’ now. But you can still see that some players first instinct is to look long sometimes, but hopefully that will improve with time. Morrison looked more composed on the ball than I’ve ever seen in a city shirt on Sunday. And that ball he clipped into Glatzel in the first half was outstanding.
