According to the source I use for those stats an attack is counted every time a team advances with the ball. It becomes a dangerous attacking when they are advancing into vulnerable areas of the opposition territory, ie final third or threatening the opposition box. A dangerous attack could result in a goal, equally it can come to nothing. For example, a player might break down the wing in the opposition half and that would count as a dangerous attack. He might get held up so the attack falters but then he manages to break again so another dangerous attack. A defender blocks him and puts the ball out for a throw in. If the throw in is in a vulnerable area then that is classed as a dangerous attack etc etc.

The correlation between dangerous attacks and possession is an interesting one. Notts for example as a passing team (?) will take longer to mount a dangerous attack because they tend to pass the ball around the back a few times before advancing. A more direct team will take less time to launch a dangerous attack so are more likely to have more of them, but you could argue it’s all about quality not quantity?

Thanks for that. I guess it confirms what we’ve all seen with our own eyes: We have an awful lot of possession in areas that don’t hurt the opposition and where they’re happy for us to have the ball. All too often, we go backwards or square rather than looking to play a forward pass.

Let’s hope for a lot more hunger to get after the opposition on Wednesday (always feels wrong to be watching Notts at home on a Wednesday, though).

Top notch stats as usual, and thanks for having the league position from last season plotted on that graph for this season as well for comparison.
