Andy has already answered that - he doesn't really care if a player shanks a few into touch as long as said player also has 6 assists and 6 goals in the season and is called Danns!bobo the clown wrote:The way to answer that Andy is to ask you the opposite question :Andy Waller wrote:Who gives a toss about pass completion rate??
Do you care when a player cock's up a pass ? If you do .... and I assume you do ... then you surely appreciate when someone doesn't tend to do that.

All I'm saying is that if you constantly pass backwards, you'll have a high completion rate, if you're looking to go forward, you're bound to have a worse rate yet potential to set up more attacking play.
What a hero, What a man...... Ooooh, what a bad foul...

Possibly the only thing I remember from playing at a higher level and being properly coached was the instruction to play the "easy ball".Andy Waller wrote:All I'm saying is that if you constantly pass backwards, you'll have a high completion rate, if you're looking to go forward, you're bound to have a worse rate yet potential to set up more attacking play.bobo the clown wrote:The way to answer that Andy is to ask you the opposite question :Andy Waller wrote:Who gives a toss about pass completion rate??

We can all try the Hollywood pass, and fail. If you pass it to one of your own, in reasonable space, and he then does the same and so on, then the game progresses in your favour.
However, all this is moot. Do we know if he's a square or reverse passer ? I don't recall that. I'd guess there are Opta stats available somewhere.

Anyhow, Mark Davies is 60:40 against to play Saturday according to Freedman.

Dougie you are wrong if you think Bolton fans will 'stick together with the club and get behind the team'.
Not a chance!

Indeed.

You f*cking hypocrite.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
