Average tackles won only just over 50%. We’re quite good when we move the ball forward with confidence, but we really need someone to consistently win the ball in the first place.
Maybe this is my particularly poor understanding of Maths.
If we have total tackles won by Wycombe in all games as a an average = 50% then why would total tackles one by opposition be over 60%? should it not also be 50%.
Or is there a percentage for tackles where neither team really won possession…
I was assuming it’s because in many ‘tackles’ someone already has has possession. So if our man misses a tackle, they haven’t won one..they’ve just kept the ball etc.
Or maybe someone can tell me that’s a load of bollocks
Under Dodds we now share very similar stats for first half goals and for percentage wins with the internationally renowned Manchester United - a mark of how truly dreadful we have become.
