When Nottingham Forest has the ball, how much of that time is spent building, progressing and creating?
The share of Nottingham Forest's time on the ball spent in each phase of play, in the order the phases happen. A phase is where the ball is on the pitch (own third, middle third, final third); a transition or a set piece skips the build-up and is counted on its own.

The question
Across the whole pitch, where does Nottingham Forest actually do its on-ball work?
Passes on one map, carries (the ball travelling with a player) on the other. Each is binned into the 15 pitch zones (three thirds × five vertical lanes) and shaded by its share of that kind of action; the arrows are the real actions.

Nottingham Forest build predominantly down the left, with Milenkovic as the fulcrum (26 build-up passes). Only 32% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is RHS def → C def (8×).

Chance creation4 sections
Chance creation — how the shots come
Nottingham Forest
The question
Where do Nottingham Forest's chances actually come from?
Every shot sorted twice. First by the kind of attack: an attacking transition (the shot came within 15 seconds of winning the ball), a settled attack (open play after the team had the ball), or a set piece. Then by how it was set up: a cross, a cut-back, a long ball, a pass into the box, or no pass at all (the player created it himself). So a cut-back from an attacking transition is counted apart from a cut-back in a settled attack.

On-Ball Value — who moved the game
Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds. A forward pass into space is positive, a lost ball in a dangerous spot is negative. The chart adds the values up as the match goes on.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die
Nottingham Forest
Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier. Grey cells are real zones with too few attempts to trust a rate.

The question
Once the opponent has the ball, how many passes and how many seconds pass before Nottingham Forest win it back with a defensive action?
Counted over the 37 opposition possessions that Nottingham Forest ended with a tackle, interception, recovery or challenge. Fewer passes and seconds means the ball is won quickly (a press); more means the opponent is allowed to play before Nottingham Forest step in. Nottingham Forest win it after 6.3 opponent passes in the first half-hour and after 5.2 after the hour mark (sooner).

Decision Quality — not all completed passes are equal
