Interesting Stat

[White Noise]

Fulham players have intercepted more passes than any other team in the Premier League (151).

Baird is great at reading where a pass is going and intercepting them.

Baird is great at reading where a pass is going and intercepting them.

Diarra too, so if we play both of them we should be solid defensively.

"Chris Baird has averaged five interceptions per 90 minutes played, the most frequent rate of any player in the top flight."

sidwell is good at it to.

Stats are really interesting, it could mean we are good at interceptions OR it could mean we have less possession than any other comparable team and therefore have more opportunities to intercept.

Without further data I can clearly say it may be either a good or bad statistic!

By the way Baird and diarra are playing really well and if they can start together it would be great

This could also mean he's able to get a foot in to deflect it somewhere. What would be more interesting would be stats on how many of the interceptions where we actually then retained possession.

that is a great stat to have, unfortunately it is what they do with it after the interception that is the problem.

One way of reading this type of stat, is that we dont tackle much and look for other ways to win the ball. Remember under Roy a tackle was the last resort, we stand up to teams and look for them to make the mistake.

Which is why we have only given a couple of penalties away, least bookingsand  no red cards(except Geras 2 min of madness) in the last few years

That'd suggest there's a certain ethos at the club as it's period in our history which covers three different managers.

Could it be that our field is smaller than others, so less room...

Good point that, Hughes QPR seems to get plenty of red cards.

on this note a West Brom player (think it was Olsen) was speaking about the lack of defensive work they now do in training because everyone knows their job after Roys reign in charge. Core of our defence is still Roy's side so it may well still be a part of his legacy that has stayed on
