Didn't someone say they'd met him and it looked promising. More than a year together and Bright would give Robins an aneurism.Good that players are identified and ready to go. Much better than the last minute panic.
I wonder if his link with bright will mean he signs for us if he is out of contract?
Yeah said he wanted to stay.Didn't someone say they'd met him and it looked promising. More than a year together and Bright would give Robins an aneurism.
Yeah said he wanted to stay.
Interesting that both badlan and widdrington followed bakayoko.

"We knew that fans wanted us to recruit in some other positions, but if the right players don’t come up then you can’t panic - that is the worst thing to do in football."
I wish some of our fans really understood this.
Goalkeeper?
Good article.
It does have myself wondering though if there is a system to measure game mechanics and herustics between groups of players, and not just the attributes of individuals within a game, By measuring I mean positionally as well as tactically.
To give a chess example.
I am wondering if there is a football equivalent to this kind of engine?
Agree 100%, and is it the same crowd that want to chuck Ponti and other youngsters on? You got to trust the management."There are players that we knew would take time to settle that are now starting to show what they are capable of – it has to be remembered these players are young and you can’t demand things straight away and we always knew that it would click."
spot on. embarrassing that people are writing off chaplin at 21, Bakayko at 23, Shipley at 21 etc
Two year contracts are great because it means if things go wrong you're not saddled with them ala David Bell, and if they have a solid first season they may sell for a decent amount. The problem with them is that the Jordy Hiwula's of this world who do well but don't set the world alight are in a kind of no mans land, and we risk losing them. Still, I think the club have done quite well within recruitment over the past couple of years, with the few notable exceptions moved on quite quickly.
to know summer targets already sorted be it L1 or championship is very encouraging

Chess is a very very simple game to model and brute force predictions on move quality.
Football is an order of magnitude more complex than even GO which we’ve just managed to effectively model.
Any football model will be so simplified it’ll be almost worthless IMO.
Artificial intelligence chess engines have started to crush the brute force software-wouldn't rule out applying something that is more intuitive that is able to look past more materialistic outcomes.

I do exactly as you describe here as a consultant for professional clubs (not City unfortunately) and have a full time project doing this for a semi professional club - who are looking to be professional in 2 years.
All interesting stuff.
Seems much more professional than past regimes.
For example, it seemed to me at the time that no planning had been done following the sale of McSheffrey which resulted in paying way over the odds for Kevin Kyle (a classic panic buy).
Anyway all the signs right now are very positive....well at least until the next narrow defeat and the return of the 'spineless cowards' rent a mob.
I think you are right about SISU although their better record is a bit "Robins dependent" they have made 9 managerial appointments iirc, of which only Robins x 2 and Mowbray x 50% have workedgreat read. we all know sisu been cunts but last 2 years feels like things ar ebeing done right. if we can get a new rent deal ageed we can defintly make championship over next few years if we keep supporting robins like this.

we must survive to see this through! we could be on precipice of something special
