ewerk 26326 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Quote This year could be the fourth in a row in which a 'big-six' team has finished outside the top six in a calendar year. Before 2019, it only happened three times in 10 years. Then maybe it's time to stop calling them the 'big-six'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if we maintain a 2Pts per game average we'll end up in the upper echelons of the league, but, Wilson is made of glass, ASM is inconsistent, Almiron is busy but largely ineffectual as a goal threat and Wood is a plank. I'd rather look at the stats that show how much our performances have improved in the past 9 months or so. and compare that to how the Elite fare.

They mention how the data is used first and foremost and scouts are used just to fill out the details that the stats can't, ie their style of tackling. Can you hear me @PaddockLad cc @The Fish I'm sure Ashworth is all over this kind of stuff anyway, but a club trying to do what we're doing could save ourselves a fortune. Maybe this is exactly what they've done with the new lad Isak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is exactly what they've done with the new lad Isak. I’ve read Moneyball, Soccernomics & The Nowhere Men. I’ve a basic grasp of how data works in modern day talent identification and player recruitment. So me saying xG is utter bollocks that tells punters the square root of fuck that isn't observable to anyone with a pair of eyes, at an actual game (tbf, from what I can make out you & Dave aren’t regulars, may explain a few things ) and being in possession of an average number of brain cells isn’t me suggesting stats have no place in the game., they very much do and there likely isn’t a professional club in the country that hasn’t used them for these purposes for the best part of 20 years. Hope that’s clear for you now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMXXVIII 1042 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Comes across mint. Since their first month, which was a bit farcical and ended with the correct appointment of Howe, I can't find fault in anything they've done. It's a great time to be an NUFC fan, I've never felt so relaxed and confident with those in power. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
