Prospective new Derby owner Erik Alonso attempting to show off his wealth with a video purporting to be his house... Except... Full on Dale Evans / Jojar Dhinsa stuff this.

Yeah, that would be problematic for sure. Departed players that have found new clubs certainly wouldn't be allowed to participate.

About £20k. You're right, quality player, think he'll head back to Germany tbh.

Still think he'll score goals at Championship level but he's a pure penalty box striker, Walker is better (at this stage).

Spot on. All the physical attributes & decent enough technique just unable to consistently put it all together. Can certainly see why we took him & he won't be short of options. Not sure he'll ever be prolific but could still be a real asset to someone. Gave us some great memories & by all...

Yeah single game xG & particularly single shot xG are not a good measure, too many variables with game context etc. over too short a time. The whole point of an xG model is to reflect data trends so the bigger the dataset the better.

Just about to post that. Impressive considering how much Hamer's delivery waned but James stepped up & of course McCallum's long throws!

Just read a couple of your earlier posts & think we're actually broadly in agreement that he is very tactically astute. I'm guessing it's the term "genius" you take issue with? If so, agreed as stated earlier but it's just the usual hyperbole of the modern world, hell I've seen Biamou described...

"Saved" £30m of losses through their amortisation method, a method not used by any other team in English football. At best they've intentionally exploited a loophole but if that's the case I'm stunned no other club has tried it before.

The term "genius" I took as clearly hyperbolic, not sure you can refer to many managers as that, especially over a relatively short time or amount of clubs etc. Pep, Bielsa etc. maybe. Just checking that would be the same Barnsley manager who praised Robins' tactics & admitted we totally...

Truly tragic 😢

That long? If he's not smiling in all of the pre-season photoshoots he's got to go.

Everyone seems to think we're the only team that do it. It's probably fair to say we've had more than our fair share of individual errors but also look at some of the goals we've scored; The own goal away at Millwall, Biamou v Derby where Byrne passed it straight to O'Hare, similar against...

Done mate, great work 👍🏻

Saw that, odd.. I'm not sure which xG model he uses as most still have us pretty comfortable:

"Genius" is a stretch but depends on your definition of it. Personally I wouldn't really call hardly anyone "genius" except possibly the absolute elite. I do think he is very tactically astute, would be impossible to consistently overachieve as we have if he wasn't.

Did he not storm a league title with a system & formation that was being used by practically no other club in Europe last season but has been imitated by many others since? Has he not changed systems multiple times within matches to completely change the pattern of the match &, more often than...

Devils advocate... Why not?

From time to time results can gloss over frailties in a team or the opposite & teams could be getting a bad rub of the green so underlying data/metrics help us analyse if a team is really doing the right things & is a bit of luck or a piece of recruitment/tactical tweak away (think Brighton's xG...

Difficult to gauge his next move. He's recently been linked to Stoke, Millwall & Sunderland which isn't out of the realms of possibility but previously was linked with Man City, Leicester, Arsenal, Leeds and Celtic in the January window which is obviously way above our level. Relatively cheap...
