I can't do the links either, but the item is interesting. Amazing that our players covered a greater distance than any others. Not quite by as much as you say, cos (if I read it right), the point of comparison is Palace, who covered the least ground. It doesn't list all the stats, except for injuries, where again we have done really well. Definitely time for a rest.

It doesn't actually say we ran the most by 50km, as it only gives the figures for the most and least.

Which teams ran most and least?
Sheffield United 460.1km
Crystal Palace 415km

Dean Hammond alone used to cover that much ground in a single game.

I am a fan though, so I never saw it.

Liverpool only playing 3 games whilst most played 4. They tossed it off in Qatar playing heavily rotated squads.

No wonder they looked much quicker and fitter tbh.

Bunch of pussies. Used to run 2000 + miles a year and do 12 hour shifts

But could you play football? (If you really are Brian Deane, I withdraw the question).

460 ÷4.

1x160/ 1x 100/ 1x 130 / 1x70. (Est.)

3/ 1/ 0/ 0.

The combination of having less rotation and just the Lundstram injury could have worked against us. Fatigue being the danger without planned rotation.

However Watford had the least rotation and did so well.

Leicester had the most rotation and Won 2 and Lost 2. However the 2 were against Liverpool and Man City!!

No right or wrong way to manage the situation. Our manager wanted results in the big matches but didn't feel able to rotate that much v Watford and Brighton and nor could he. 4 points is a good haul and thank goodness our lads have a rest now.

By the way, if anybody wants a decode of the above statistics I'll gladly oblige. Quite good even if I say so myself. In fact if anybody can explain the code, please do

Yes. Same height and build as BD also had the same "nutter cut" as it was described back then UTB

I will refrain from commenting on your football ability. As my son regularly reminds me, 20 minutes into Deano's home debut, I commented that he would never make a footballer. At least there was no social media then...
