MISS ‘M

Me in 2002 on the all dayer.

This season I can’t see it. Top four look very strong.

Need to do what we did in defence and have a consistent set of players who can get used to each other. I thought we were getting that then team changes then Simms out and Sheaf injured messed that up a bit.

Never going to happen but if we went up I think we’d need: GK, RCB, LB, CM, ST absolute minimum. Like you say a whole other ball game.

No! Ive just seen he’s got the same song as we’ve given Sakamoto. I don’t think I’d survive!

I think Goddens days are numbered TBH. He’s looked miles off it this season even though his purple patch still puts him top scorer. When he’s not scoring he contributes fuck all. In a possession based team with 6 midfielders that’s one thing. In this new counter attacking side he’s sadly useless.

I have no faith in that. Safetyism is a ratchet, it only goes one way. Once a dumb decision has been made in the name of safety it’s unlikely every to be undone.

More likely to work the other way. The more scrutiny the less risk averse they’ll be and no one was ever sacked for playing it safe.

I explicitly said “alongside your favourite of Eccles/Sheaf/Lats/Dabo” and still get shit lol. I also said Simms is probably the one that needs replacing.

Easiest of the next six really. Still don’t think we’ll win.

Nice article. Certainly better than the shite FootballInsider247EFL or whatever puts out. Think you’re a little harsh on Wright, but otherwise would agree and other than Styles they’re all new names to me. I suspect we’ll loan in the wide players, but otherwise seems well thought out and spot...

Yeah those were all next on my list, in that order actually. I do think we can do better than Collins. Thing is like Simms I wouldn’t put it past the coaching staff to seriously improve him by the start of next season.

Forum in Joke.

I thought Eccles would be a free player as he’s from the academy, have I made that up? Or is it U21s?

Lets say miracles happen and we get O’Hare on a new deal, and a Hamer replacement in to play alongside your favourite of Eccles/Sheaf/Lats/Dabo. Where do you upgrade next? No get outs, Doug wants a headline signing to go straight into this team. Collins MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell Hamer2 Sheaf...

If we don’t sell O’Hare, and maybe even if we do I could see us just getting a couple of loans in. Unless we’ve got someone lined up to replace Hamer, but if nothings agreed I could see us sticking with what we’ve got. The feeling may be that this season is a gamble to get to the play offs, and...

Your sensible debate point is “team results say something about a player”, my diversion to avoid making any concessions is “no they bloody well don’t and we have data to prove it”. Sheaf is by all metrics one of the better DMs in the division. Eccles is up there too. How well the team performs...

Don’t think so. Saw someone on Twitter complaining it wasn’t anyway.

Ill explain the graph: That’s the end of a couple of seasons ago IIRC, using Philosoraptors model to assign each player a score. They go up or down based on the result against the opposition, with increases and decreases scaled to the strength of the opposition. It’s a good model for a team...
