[quote="ellafella"]Thanks for your interest. There are as we know, an increasing number of statistics collected in the modern game. These are better referred to as KPIs or key performance indicators. Clearly, some are more key than others; and like many have commented, they have to be checked out with “reality” (ie what we know we watch as supporters) for them to make sense.
But the ones which are most key are for me:

average % possession: 55.7% which puts Derby 2nd in the Championship
average pass success %: 81.7% which puts Derby top in the Championship.

Clearly, we keep the ball well and possession is 9/10 of the game.

When it comes to type of passess, Derby have completed an average total of 433 short passes this season (putting them top) and have an average of just 72 long passes per game (which puts Derby bottom!). Bournemouth have the 2nd highest short pass rate and the 2nd lowest long pass rate in the Champi

steady Basie almost a sensible post

I may be completely wrong and get shot down, but I'd place Keogh as top. He receives a lot of passes from the keeper, and usually keeps the ball well when playing out from the back. I rememeber Phil Babb led the Premiership as it was then in a simialr stat, so there's some more logic behind my decision.

Will Hughes and Bryson rarely give it away, so they make my list too.

I now can't choose between Mascarell, Eustace, Martin and Dawkins.

Dawkins literally never gives the ball away, but does crosses count as misplaced passes?

I'll say Eustace on the off-chance this is Ella further stating Eustace's contribution ton the team

Can I have answers ella? I'm very impatient...

Very good as I'd expect from you D_D.

1. Keogh (Top of entire Champ)
2. Bryson.
3. Dawkins.
4. Hughes

Eustace is also high up (about 16th in entire Champ).

One very notice

Of course pass completion and possession stats are all very well, but count for nothing if one doesn't get the result! (Ask a Arsenal supporter how frustrating that can be!). However fortunately we seem to be bale to play attractive positive football and keep the results coming...long may it last!

Some interesting stuff there Ella nice work.
