WOLVESALONA ... THE LONG BALL MERCHANTS

[Steve the Tea]

With a few minutes on my hands this evening I went on the CCFC w/site. Whilst checking on the Wolves away game an interesting fact was found viz the number of long balls played:

Wolves: 65
CCFC: 58.

Amazing what you find when you look.

You can go further and say that Wolves have played more long balls than Cardiff this season - 2059 to 1948. There needs to be a little perspective here, though. While Wolves have played 111 more long balls than us this season, they have also managed 4621 more passes in total than us. 16% of Wolves passes go long compared with 23.6% of ours.

This is a table showing each team's long ball percentage.

Cardiff 23.6%
Burnley 21.6%
Newcastle United 20.3%
Brighton 18.8%
Watford 16.8%
Southampton 16.6%
Huddersfield 16.1%

My original post was written somewhat, "tongue in cheek." However what makes interesting reading is goals / shots on target in respect of possession.
