What happened to that GTFC stats lunatic on twitter who used to die weekly on the xG hill then just blocked everyone? Is he still posting on there or employed by the club now?

I just think we are cursed, and I am in no way superstitious.
It seems like for the last 2 or 3 seasons, almost every shot the opposition hit, somehow ends up in the back of the net. Every long range shot arrows into the top or bottom corner, and I have a vision of a succession of keepers fishing the ball out of the net with alarming regularity.
Can't remember the last time I wasn't worried about conceding every time the away team cross the half way line.

I have no idea what xg data is or any other data that is showing we have improved all I see is us getting stuffed most weekends and lying 3rd from bottom of the EFL.
Have to agree here - it's all smoke & mirrors to me - xg data is akin to the Hans Christian Andersson fairy tale where it took a simple young lad in the crowd to see that the the king was naked despite assurances from his expensive tailors that he was a leader in fashion & the dogs balderdash. Apologies to those who don't have a clue what this old fart is rambling on about. UTM. |

I began to think that he had recently been employed as our Head Coach, until I realised that our Head Coach released Efete which that person would have considered to be an act of racism. |

The man is conning himself and conning everyone else.
Lose tomorrow and he must go. I’m an open minded person, and I work in an environment where data-led decisions matter, but 90% of what he’s saying is delusional, deflective babbling fu*king nonsense.

Been another overreaction to the interview but it’s to be expected now.
He’s right in a lot of what he says, but some of needs to actually start coming true instead of being just words.
We probably are creating more chances, we probably are conceding goals we shouldn’t and we probably should’ve picked up more points. However, we keep getting hammered. If the stats are correct, then results SHOULD follow, but it’s a very precarious position he finds himself in right now.
What doesn’t help though is fans ripping it to bits every week for the sake of it. If we pick up points away from home tomorrow, part of our disasterous home performances (for 2 seasons) might be able to be explained quite well…
Should be able to win every game next season if the metrics keep improving. Pity it’ll be against the likes of Dorking. The biggest worry is that he’s already talking to players who are out of contract in the summer. |

But, in general, the number of good chances you create (xG), indicates how likely it is that you will score a goal. If you create more good chances, you are likely to score more goals. You surely can't deny that?
.
xG is a prime example of data being used to fit a narrative that is wrong. xG is based on averages, how often a chance of a certain quality results in a goal on average. But of course on average better players score that chance more often than worse players. So having worse players, you'd expect us to have a higher xG than goals. The same for expected goals against. The data isn't saying that we're doing better than the results show, it's saying that our players are excrement |

It's like he lives in a parallel universe, where we are comfortably mid table, n it just needs a couple of tweaks n we could be up there. Says we should be scoring more, well,we we are not
We are conceding more than the stats say we should. Well we are. We ate conceding wonder goals, which wont happen every week. Well we are.
No mention of 1 win in over 2 months, no mention of being dicked heavily every week no mention of being bottom.of the form.table, no mention of the bottom 2 slowly but surely catching us up, no mention of us sleepwalking to a 3rd relegation. The man is feckin deluded
I despair

I’m not being indecisive, just can’t make up my mind whether we have crap players playing crap or underperforming good players. Or simply confused players with a manager trying to introduce new ideas.
I keep going back to Bradford City away when for a fleeting moment we were in second place in the league. Frustrating ain’t it?
Anyway I hope my data shows a comfortable away victory tomorrow….at least I’ll be there with an objective pal who supports Huddersfield Town. I can rely on his assessment whatever the result.

If DA and the Club actually said , "we played really rubbish, and must do better" we would not be consoled, but we wouldn't/couldn't argue with them. But no they say they played well, and things are on the up, and the fans don't know what they are talking about. And if they repeat this mantra with a straight face, the fans will one by one back down as the inverse, upside down logic regurgtated at you wears you down and you give up. You see if the Expensive Tailors, told the lad he would get a thick ear and sent to bed without any supper, the King would be still parading naked. The old adage of BBB Bovinedroppings Baffle Brains still is practised and doing well at 21st Group. |
