Coventry City (1500)
Best (1500) on 13 Oct 2018
Win (1532) +32
Draw (1500) +0
Loss (1468) -32
one day when I can be arsed I'm going to have a good look at your posts and try and work out what the fuck is going on.
Simplified, it's a ranking system based of form and consistency. The first attachment is Coventry with a score of 1500 and the second is Southend with a score of 1534. Depending on the result, we'll be scored as follows:
Win (1532) +32
Draw (1500) +0
Loss (1468) -32
Southend would lose/gain more points as their overall score is higher (so a loss may be -40 points, for example).
All teams highlighted in green are fixtures where we won / favourable. All teams in red are where we lost / unfavourable. Yellow is a draw. From a very quick look, Coventry are generally all over the place by beating both low and high-ranked teams, and losing to mid table. Southend, tellingly, beat low-ranked teams but lose to high/mid-ranked teams. In short, could be a close game as we're mid-table.
The workings behind it are ridiculous: http://www.glicko.net/glicko/glicko2.pdf and overall I think it's a waste of time. But an insane amount of work goes into it.
On both occasions so far where we have had 2 league games Sat/Tues we've looked off the pace and lifeless in the midweek game. This is probably the most difficult duo of fixtures we could have asked for time/travel wise, there's going to be very little time for recovery and I think we will see our squad size utilised over the next two fixtures.
The strong U23s line-up we played on Monday would suggest Robins wanted everybody to have as much time in their legs going into these two.
Id expect an unchanged side on Saturday barring any new injuries then Jones Baka Kelly Ogogo Mason Shipley all in with a shout of starting on Tuesday.
That's a good point, and you would hope that a few of the players waiting in the background must be close to ready. I wonder how far away Jack Grimmer is from match action - can't be long?

What's the point in it though? It's obvious that teams at the top have higher points and it's more valuable to beat teams around them. Stats for stats sake.Si it’s simple really?
I preferred the graph that was posted each week last season.What's the point in it though? It's obvious that teams at the top have higher points and it's more valuable to beat teams around them. Stats for stats sake.
I’m old fashioned and don’t get the obsession with statistics (possession, shots, shots on target etc etc). Certainly at this level any team can beat the other and therefore current points, current position are the only stats that matter

Southend are unbeaten in 5 but their away form is better than their home form, their last home match was a 0-0 with lowly Oxford.

Amazingly they haven't scored at home in the first half yet and have only conceded once while we have only scored 1 first half goal away at Bristol when we already 3-0 down.

Looks like they go for it after half time though which is not disimilar to a lot of our games in the last 18 months. Might be worth staying in the pub until halftime.
Micky Doyle was in the last side victorious at Roots Hall if anyone goes on bizarre theories
Wasn’t Baka’s penalty in the first half?Southend are unbeaten in 5 but their away form is better than their home form, their last home match was a 0-0 with lowly Oxford.

That's because we are all Coventry kids, and assume stadia are named after local car manufacturers, rather than a 1976 Alex Haley novel made into a mini-series. (I had to google the author)Do you know what - I was absolutely (incorrectly !) convinced it was Rootes Hall !!!
apparently their 2 strikers both score majority of goals in 2nd half. this gonna be a test for entire afternoon
He was interviewed in the lounges before the game on Saturday and said he would be available for selection for Southend.That's a good point, and you would hope that a few of the players waiting in the background must be close to ready.
