I'm giving you my take on the match against Perth.
For me given a pretty balanced passing accuracy within the whole team, importance for defenders and midfielders goes to winning the ball. So:
Including All Duels (offensive/Defensive/Aerial/Interceptions/clearances). I included clearances to be fair on Wootton (he makes a lot of clearances):
Pennington/Wootton 20 (Pennington 10 interceptions)
Kelly Heald 18
Payne 17
Surman 16
Rufer 13
Kraev 11
Al Taay 10
Kosta/Zawada 9
Old 4 (1 interception)
Others 0
I understand that some players were subbed and Old was a sub.
Pennington ran the most 13.2 km
Everyone else who played the full match ran 9-11km
I attach importance to the distance ran by midfielders because it gives a good indication of tracking back. A particular weak area in the 4 years that I've watched the Nix.
I took the Stats from Wyscout.
Anyway we'll get another 3 points next Saturday. No Problem.
