Statistics

I thought it might be interesting to look at some of our stats and keep a running total throughout the season. I'm just using percentage possession, number of shots, number of shots on target and number of corners.

I know the possession stats are unlikely to tell us anything (it's what you do with your possession that counts) but certainly shots on target are a good indicator of how well a team might be doing. Certainly true if you look at our first season where we had few shots on target in some of our games.

I have decided to split it home and away and post an average:

Home:

Team ----- W/D/L -- Score -- Possession -- Shots -- On Target -- Corners

Arsenal ----- L --------1-2 ------ 41% --------11 -------- 4 ----------- 6
Villa ---------W -------2-1 -------50% -------- 16 -------- 6 ---------- 6

Average ------------------------- 45.5% ----- 13.5 ------ 5 ---------- 6

Away:

Norwich ---- W ------- 1-3 ----- 37% -------- 11 -------- 7 ---------- 4
Chelsea ---- W ------- 1-2 ----- 36% -------- 13 -------- 6 ---------- 7

Average ------------------------ 36.5% ------- 12 ------- 6.5 -------- 5.5
