How much possession against Norwich?

CAFCTrev

With our interesting possession stats so far this season how much of the ball will we have against Norwich? I think we would do well to hit 40%, more likely it'll be in the 30s.

What do you think?

Depends on whether we go 4-4-2 or 4-5-1...

Interesting that win wise we seem to do better with less possession.

Was miffed to see the BBC describe us as " Draw Specialists"!

That's tickled me


In the 1st half on saturday that nearly happened !

Ben, do you think we can score our 3 goals with 15% possession ?

If not, they can score an own goal with their 55%. (:>

It's all about quality of possession. You could theoretically win 10-0 with 5% possession etc

Agree Ben, but it would have to be quick , sharp passing to open up a defence.

According to the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29320492 Charlton possession was 39%. The figure doesn’t seem to coincide with the onslaught we are supposed to have received. I guess your B̶e̶r̶m̶u̶d̶a̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶a̶n̶g̶l̶e̶ Ben Haim/Bikey/Henderson theory may account for a tidy percentage. Many a true word spoken in jest.

Who cares about possession? There's only one thing that wins you football matches: goals - and we got one and Norwich didn't.

We see plenty of the ball in the first half, mostly going sideways and backwards tho! 39% seems about right.
