No good having a big stat
It’s what you do with a smaller one that counts
Read 1st Blackburn thread my side included Odoffin like I said cause Lindsay not been on his game. If not Harding Kioso at right back. Peltier no can't get forward Chieo tracked back covering him all the game. Great performance more to come when they are more up to speed from Morrison & Leo.

Considering the ball is only in play for around 60 minutes it only takes a team passing it around across the back, forward, across the back etc. to eat up time. At one point today, for the 10 minutes after we scored the 2nd goal they had over 80% possession but did nothing with it. It doesn't really matter anyway. Just watching the Brentford game they haven't won a single game this season where they have had >50% possession but have 7 wins to their name. They might be panicking though as they are currently 1-0 up with 60% possession.
One stat that did help us today. Scoring the fastest goal so far in the Championship this season. Did any late arrivers miss it? It was a beauty!

90%+ possession on these highlights
Well, what can you say? The 2 new lads fitted it well but i think Humpreys was outstanding, that tackle on the halfway line was brilliant.
Rathbone deserved his goal for the work he put in, ditto Washington, who looked very lively.
I expected more from Blackburn in the 2nd half but they actually were worse, lots of tippy tappy going-no-where-football.
Changing to a back 4 closed off lots of space behind the wing backs. This has caused us problems of late. Well done MT for sorting it.
that's a first for Fergie lasting 90 mins, no running back as often.
Well done everyone today, looked a happy unit again, on to Watford, a real test there next week.................UTM.
