    86% possession?

    According to BBC website.... is that really so? Seems almost implausible.

    Can't be right surely...you can't commit more fouls and have the same number of corners with 86% possession.
    Bloody good result though.

    We look much better, actually creating chances now.

    Rowett made a change at half time despite us winning,, knew were getting overrun in midfield and made the change, mac or clement wouldn't have made that change with being 2-1 up.

    That performance is frustrating as well, because we showed we are a bloody handful and lying 10th on that show is a crime.

    We are one of the best at keeping possession in the league, but when it came down to turning it into chances, we weren't cutting it, and now under Rowett that has all changed.

    We are finally finding the chances to create, and now we have to keep going.

    What was the lino playing at on the west stand side in the second half? How her missed the pull back on Nugent, I don't know. And he seemed to have no idea about offside, for and against us.

    Fulham had more possession than us this evening - we struggled to get the ball off them at times, even if we did play well.
    Must be an error in the BBC stats.

    Thanks b&w...weird stats from afar...still, playing well, scoring four and not giving things away in injury time is more than we might have dreamt of a month ago. Onwards and upwards.

    I would say they had 86% in the first half if any thing. They were excellent on the ball, without creating many clear cut chances, a bit like watching us over the last couple of years.

    Its wrong as they had long periods of possession especially outside of our box. We hit on the break at times.
