Possesion according to the BBC

[RM-Taylor]

Only 48% apparently. Analysis must have been completed by Stevie Wonder.

We clearly had over 70% posession, shows the BBC stats are just made up.

 

[Mr Everyone]

It's also on the Seagulls' site.

 

[Conkers]

This is the same site that reported we had 82% last week.
Enough said.

 

[stss30]

Yeah, I thought this also! Casper had about 20% possetion alone!

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

I am pretty sure the possession stat is only relavent to the last five minutes of play from when it is posted - ie at 40 minutes it covers 35-40 minutes and at 90 minutes it covers 85-90 minutes

 

[Jim in the West]

Did Peterborough actually have the ball in the second half?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Ah,possesion ? Two things to remember about possesion 1 what to do with the ball when you have it (i/e score) and 2 what to do when you don't (i/e defend)

Dave Blunkett reporting for the BBC.............

Ridiculous. There were long spells of the game when we were just passing it around between our defenders and they couldn't get the ball! It must have been 60/40 in our favour at least.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Dave Blunkett reporting for the BBC.............

Indeed.

Taxi for Blunkett.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

48% seemed a bit low taking into consideration all the Olé's during the game.
