Most possession in a league 1 game since 2021

Cardiff had the most possession in a league 1 game since mk dons in 2021

For so long we've lived off scraps barely getting 40% possession in games, makes such a nice change to see us dominating and controlling matches

Ultimately there’s only one stat that counts.

Not a great fan of possession stats as they can be very misleading. Lincoln won 5-2 with 33% possession. On the other hand on this occasion they really accurately demonstrate our dominance yesterday.

But we really should be clear at the top of the league ……..

You can dominate a game and be comfortable without the ball, we did it all the time under Warnock. Absolutely nothing wrong with what we are doing now and I'm sure next year the football will be more entertaining as teams show us less respect a level up
