Bbc confirmed this .Danny Mills was shocked by this stat. Then with a midfield with powder puff Lopez...slow caskey and Keith backwards Andrews does this surprise anyone.

Upson tends to move in front of his marker to intercept the ball. Ince makes a lot of interceptions as well.
Does this answer the question?

What - who is our leader and rallies the players?! No it doesn't answer the question does it?!!!

We appear to be physically weak and have skilful players who can't tackle and until this is addressed we are going nowhere.

About average or even above average. I thought both games, but especially the home game had more tackles per game than normal.

What is low, are shots and shots on target per game, especially the latter.

When Hull fouled Ince out of the game, we were threatened to overrrun them as we had the midfield, but Bruce did something about by deliberately fouling Ince and bringing on their subs. Outwitted more than outcheated though. They worked really hard at their game and their starting players were tired out with ten minutes to go. We just needed a bit more quality (like Will Buckley).

We missed Bridcutt as well as I thought we might against the better teams.
