It's no surprise that higher possession equates to higher points. I would think that pressing high up the pitch would lead to more possession too.If they really are well below the fitness levels expected, then the best thing they can do while building that up, is start to play a possession game.
I don't think we are more than a couple of % below what we should be in fitness, but we rarely have above 46% possession, so we have to do a lot more work without the ball, that really exposes any fitness issues.
The pressing game was mentioned in the thread earlier, but actually, possession is by and large the key. Most successful teams have the most possession. You get the odd freak like Leicester when they won the title, but you can't sustain not having possession over years and be successful.
I don't really care what is said in a press conference but wilder seems full of passion and genuinely excited to be hear. He seems to be buying into the structure at the club and I agree that he may need a bit of time as the style and approach is drilled into the players but I have quite high hopes for this guy.
