There has been a lot of discussion about how controlling the ball does not yield results.
After 15 games, the proof of that is compelling.
We have averaged 55% possession in our 6 losses and 5 ties this year versus 49% possession in our 4 wins.
Worse, despite averaging a little more than 10 shots/game, we are scoring at a lowly rate of 1/game.
The remedy? Move the ball faster (forget the incessant back and forth on our back line), and work on finishing shots.
5 games, 10 games in you can consider data inconclusive. 15 games in, it becomes a pattern.
