83% possession

[PSumbler]

Just to put that into perspective

For every 60 seconds the ball was in play we held it for just under 50 seconds

Any truth in the rumour that Hudson asked for another ball as "Swansea are playing with the match one"

Not surprising after an early red card

Someone showed me a stat during the game, that Grimes had passed the ball more than the entire scum team combined :shock:

I think Cardiff just pipped him by the final whistle but he was leading after about 80 minutes

Grimes completed 126 passes
Cardiff: 83

I must be mixing it with another stat then. 83 passes in 90 minutes has to be a record low

 

[Cooperman]

Grimes completed 126 passes
Cardiff: 83

The figure for Cardiff that I read was 147.

What's more difficult a 9...

I think that 147 passes is attempted passes, the other figure is completed.

That’s what I saw too. Less than one completed pass a minute :shock: :lol:

Yes, the higher figure is touches even if shanked out straight into touch from their keeper. Grimes had all the space in the world today after the red card and Cardiff sitting in 2 banks of 4, so not surprising. They were nuts to give him that much space though.

That makes them even less in it than I imagined.

On the subject of Grimes, he's come in for a lot of criticism on here over the seasons , but my gosh he's head and shoulders above anything they had in their midfield today.

 

[Swansea93]

Grimes is massive for us a lot of his work goes unnoticed that pass for Obafemi is something else, and the way he spoke and conducted himself at the fans forum the other night surprised me as well, seems like a top guy.

 

[Gaius Baltar]

agreed

anybody (and there are plenty of them) who thinks we are not really lucky to have Grimes at this level.... needs their heads read

massive controlling influence and serious amounts of skill ...also top players with stylish beards are very rare in the modern era...... he and obafemi are going to click at some point .... goals galore on the horizon

wouldn't be in a hurry to bring back piroe and joe allen will struggle to dislodge fulton ...wish we had the same depth at full back
