What's the point of having possession if you do little with it?
These sort of stats are meaningless to winning games.
Check out the possession figures for other teams from the Premiership down and you will often see that those who won had far less possession than the opposition.

The point of the stats is that before you can change anything you need to know where you're starting from. SWOT analysis is now commonplace in most businesses and sports.

So what are these stats telling you to change?
It tells you you have a lot of possession.Yes we know because we pass it 6 times backwards and one forwards.
The most important stats atehow many goals you score and how many you concede.

For the last two wins at home we had less possession than Carlisle and Leyton Orient, which highlights our new more direct style of play.

It tells me that we are creating enough shooting chances but not taking them. Our finishing needs to improve and then we'll get the results that our play indicates we could/should be getting. That's obvious enough from watching the games without the stats to be fair.

I'd be interested to see if there are xG stats for League 2. I'm sure oldage would love that...

Your wish sir.....(Looks like cambridge are shocking finishers or have been plain unlucky - and reverse true for Forest Green)
