Great we don't pass backwards.
Shame we don't pass forwards with any momentum though (at least half the time).

Doesn't really tell you much. As a possession side we will pass the ball 2/3 times more than a lot of teams on that list. so could still be passing the ball backwards more times in a game than them (17% of 300 passes as opposed to 13.5% of 600+ passes.

And backwards passes are the not enemy anyway, they can set up attacks too if passing back to a man with a path to a progressive pass, our passing speed and tempo is more of a problem.
