Enough to comfortably buy two players of his quality, and not gambles. So say £6m+?

No?

Kyle McFadzean was soooo close to meeting all of these. Just fell at the last hurdle.

I think it’s obvious he’s out best defensive be full back. Giles very good attacking wingback though. I’m wondering if Dabos rusty start of hurting him. I’d like so see more chances created from him and last season I’d have thought that was one of his strengths.

For me Hamer is the sort of player to build a team around. If we get a silly offer fair enough but otherwise keep him.

I think that’s the point. We have a phrase “metrics that matter” at my work, and we never make data only decisions but data driven decisions. Data gives you a chance to find things you wouldn’t notice or areas of concern to look into. And is a good bulwark against bias as we’ve seen with “Sheaf...

Not a lockdown

Giles pisses all over the other two for creativity:

Dribbles: Dabo the king here

Anyway, fell asleep before I finished last night, long passes: Giles has great accuracy, Dabo never does them

I see this a lot in my job, data skepticism, it all boils down to “it’s not perfect you know!!!!11”. Yes, we know. All models are wrong. However, some models are useful. Stats based recruitment consistently outperforms the old way. It works. People don’t like to think data works because they...

Short passes: McCallum very low on attempts and completion Dabo and Giles virtually identical positions in the middle of the pack

Yeah and if you judge a fish by it’s ability to ride a bicycle it’ll always fail. (Honesty don’t know what’s up with me and these quotes this thread) You have to pick stats that matter for the role you want a player to play. And even then they won’t tell you everything, but you’ve got to admit...

Not all that can be counted counts and not all that counts can be counted. But as you say they tell you something, even if it’s just the start of a question to follow up. Plus it’s nice having players top of the league in something. Even if we have to slice the data like a fugu fish to find it.

Interceptions and blocks: McCallum most interceptions in the division (for a full back), Dabo and Giles both pretty poor. Dabo not made a single block all season if I’m reading that right. Im guessing a lot of this is down to the fact we play wingbacks and they’re mostly concerned with...

Aerial duels.... .... Oh dear. Thank god for Sam McCallum.

Fouls next, bottom right of the line is good (fewer fouls committed, more won), and all three of our boys are there, Sam and Ryan taking the two good top spots:

Thread starting now, loved the CB and CM ones they did. Here’s the first post, tackling: Dabo slap bang in the middle, Giles very high tackles won, but not as many attempted as McCallum. I’ll post the other stats as they come up

Funny coincidence we’ve signed two loanees that haven’t completed 90 mins all season.

You think Harry Cole doesn’t have sources in the Tory Party?
