How Do I Understand These Charts?

[LyghtWayve]

I really need to figure out these charts.  What exactly are they saying?  I am Coventry (the logo on the right in bar chart graph).  Any ideas?

Thanks

In the top graph, each percentage bar is an indication of how much possession you've had in that area of the pitch. For example, 4% of the time, you had possession in your defensive third, the opposition had the ball in your defensive third 3% of the time. You can see that most of the action was occurring in the middle third, and that 25% of the time, the ball was in the opposition's defensive third, as opposed to only 7% in yours. I can also see that you've had more of the ball, in each area of the pitch.

The second graph indicates that 40% of the time, you attack down your left side, and 37% of the time you attack down the right. The opposition seems to prefer their left wing as well, although they heavily rely on it. You're a lot more balanced with your attacks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.  That is very helpful.
