Amazing that the defence pass completion rate has dropped to 50-60% in this game whereas last Tuesday it was up around 80-90%. That's because they stopped fannying around at the back, and got the ball forwards so much quicker. I know what tactic I preferred!

Endless sideways and backwards passing between the defender skews passing and possession stats, one reason why they're not meaningful indicators of how well a team is doing

The possession stats can be such a misnomer if you are not creating chances and getting shots on target. Also as you say the pass completion rate. In League 1 you really need to have quick attacks at times and if that means Amos kicking big or a long pass from defence which cuts out the midfield but finds Aneke then so be it if it creates a chance like the flick on from Chuks that Williams nearly scored from.
