Let's not forget the Conor Townsend effect on the first half of the season. Stats don't tell the whole story.


So it was all Gregor Robertson’s fault that with Nolan in the team we became worse. Interesting.

Quoted from Tommy
If stats alone are going to determine who is a good player and who is not, then we might as well stop watching football and just look at the stats after the game.

Nolan was a quality player, especially at conference level. I saw that with my own eyes and no stats (which don't take into account all the many variables and above all else the fact that it's a bloody team sport) are going to tell me otherwise.


A polite reminder that GTFC have agreed a partnership with Loughborough University to improve our data science capabilities and to build an evidence based culture.

i.e. Moneyball and data led recruitment.

i.e. The use of statistics to analyse players.

But that will be about using stats properly rather than inferring cause and effect from apparent correlations

Nolan is one of the best midfielders we’ve had in my life time, albeit at conference level but to be honest, the obsession with ex players is the biggest worry here, not whether or not we could’ve/should’ve signed a bloke who’s barely kicked a ball in anger for a while…

You should tell Brentford and Brighton that purely data driven recruitment doesn’t work.

I refer you to what I actually said.

Fingers crossed it will be marginally more sophisticated than your 'analysis'.

He was a class above . I was talking to an ex team mate who played at the highest level and he said Nolan should of played at championship level for many years.  He said he was one of the best midfielders he'd played with

Watch the play off final again. It wasn’t all about Bogle & Arnold.

Nolan had an excellent game carrying the ball forward and helped Hurst get a balance that enabled Dis & Clay to retain the ball, something we needed to improve on before he arrived.

I’m amazed anyone could doubt his ability based upon a run of results.
