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.

Thought it would be a struggle if Saints didn’t overhaul the squad completely and with the backroom set up to repeat the mistakes, those that said we’d turn into Stoke are looking to be correct. with the mini revival and a couple of additions and players back from injury play offs could have been the target but feel that has already gone now. Teams will exploit the obvious weaknesses, Norwich and Sheffield Utd will over take us for sure. Will West Brom and Swansea?

Don’t worry, it could have been worse, Tonda has known about this for a few weeks and has been working on it with the players. 🤪

Failed at Juve, back in Brazil doing well, so fits the profile. Would he be in reach for Saints?

What’s Marc Guiu up to these days now Liam Delap is back?

He’D Job a Job For Us? Came from Arsenal academy, made the first team bench a few times so decent start, contract ends in June so probably thought best leave the mad house. Another young (21) ‘potential’ CB gone, no loss considering we need a lead CB.

I don’t think this is the environment for a potential CB to learn. Always hoped we get a steady CB, nothing fancy, does the basics well on which to build from.
