Unicycle in the end, happy he’s found balance.

The latter.

That’s a £55 beanie from Canadian company Arc’teryx!

All transfer will have data associated with the player. When Shields was around for example, he chose Man City players. When Sheffield United bought Ehije Ukaki this summer it was purely data driven

It just seems that SR are focused on clearing the decks as much as they can with many transfers out. Now (very much later than expected) the big man up front is confirmed to be the way to play, Still must be annoyed when it was clear Downs ability was not up to the standard and with Stewart in and out of medical care. Larin would be data driven choice, he seems to be motivated to enhance his chances to play In the World Cup this summer, hasn’t been able to deliver in Holland with his short cameos this season and wasn’t good in Spain, hence the loan. Question, is he ok at championship level playing to his supposed strengths? He does comes across as the cheap option and reinforces the season is over from SR. What is a worry is the summer recruitment, will it be Spors or the data taking the lead?

It certainly seems that SR decision makers have no clue how to turn things round as it stands, only to knock down what is there regardless of value and start from a clean state ie, break everything. The worrying part is the French club has shown how low things can go (has it bottomed out yet). What a complete shambles.

4th in the league. Money wise, no idea.

From the bit of reading around the Midtjylland FC, the scouting is for one club, it is integrated into the club and they follow it. The club has formal agreements with a network of over 100 ‘clubs’ (no idea of their status but in Denmark and N. Germany), partner clubs in Africa. The data analytics part has come from Benham, for use in the multi club model, so includes Brentford. Data Analytics applies to: player acquisition tactics - including set pieces, game strategy At Saints, it looks a bit different where scouts and analysts work together across the football teams. Ankersen’s spreadsheets, seem to be less integrated with Saints decisions makers - DoF favouring known markets (Man City academy, bundesliga, previous manager's clubs). All in all it seems a bit chaotic.

Are you trying to say the data analytics is using the force and Rasmus is a Sith Lord?

3-0. Bad unnecessary tackle to give a penalty away for the third.

I thought the Concussion protocol is 7-10 days.

What is annoying is that using data analysis can work. Saints have not even improved set pieces, where analytics can heavily help set up the play and influence a success outcome.

It reminds me of this quote “He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp posts — for support rather than illumination.” People think it’s easy doing some data analysis but don’t understand the biases, errors or the actual data.

I presume the relegation clause in players contracts would apply regardless of league demotion? Only thinking they would want out rather than being paid a lot less.

I think they are just shit at the data analysis part. Rasmus metrics are fools gold whereas at Brentford and Brighton they know what the data is worth and how it supports the football club.

It’s got to the stage of which three sides can save us from relegation as it seems the players can’t go out and not make fundamental mistakes which leads to losing the game.

The trait of a losing gambler.

You’d think after all the games this season, last season and beyond they’d start to question the way they are using the metrics… because it’s not fucking working.

Six points above the relegation zone. With two teams below us to play in the next two fixtures. What could go wrong? we are lucky Blackburn are below us with bad form and not a great team. As you say, looking like a relegation scrap if we lose the next two. Leicester will be down there as well if 9 points are taken.

Alfie will be happy, he never liked the early morning ones.

Which is at odds on how it’s turning out. Just a question of time when Solak either changes things about or wants out. If the former, who will he look towards to move us in the right direction?

Brought us pottery.

Ask the panel if you want to know beyond what they discussed. It seems to be a puzzle from the information they had at hand that didn’t fit the narrative given from the coach.

You need to rewatch it. Match fitness required, not in the squad. Experience player, can contribute in other non playing ways, not in the squad.
