What is a forced Turnover? (n/t) on 20:15 - Dec 4 with 1894 views | Swansea_Blue | Bollox innit. I’m assuming it’s a turnover (change of possession, see rugby union) that has been forced through pressure on the ball. As opposed to the opposition just messing up and misplacing a pass or booting it out of touch. |  |

I don’t much like the new fandangled phrases that are coming out of this WC. Sound way too American |  |

It does doesn’t it. You only get plain turnovers in rugby, so it’s not come from there. |  |

Useful stat for working out how well your off the ball work is going (and who exactly is contributing to that). I know Lee Evans scores very highly on these sorts of measures for us. |  |

Both are terms borrowed from NFL American Football, which means they are more likely to be understood by USA audience. A forced turnover could be a direct tackle to win possession, or forcing an opposition player to lump it into touch, or nipping in and deflecting it to a teammate. So it is quite a broad term and therefore a useful metric. Reception means receiving a pass successfully in NFL, where it is a key metric for an Offensive player, because more than a 75% success ratio would constitute a decent performance. In International football it is expected that players know how to control a football passed to them, so it isn't so useful, other than to show how often a player is passed to. If it helps non-football "sports" audiences in the USA engage it's pretty harmless, isn't it? |  | |  |
