21st Group data analysis.

There is an article on Twitter about the 21st Group who help with our data analysis.

According to their graphics and reasoning we are on course to pick up between 56 and 58 points so no need to change the manager.

That's alright then, we can all sleep easy and stop worrying for the next few months, and just sit back and enjoy turgid, unexciting and boring football till May safe in the knowledge we won't be relegated.

If the owners are giving much credence to this nonsense they want their heads examining.

Playing as we are will result in a relegation battle whatever they may think.

Data seems to have wronged you in a way you can't forget  
Did you get dumped by an excel spreadsheet as a teenager or something?

There are lies, damned lies, and statistics

Thanks for that. Needed something to inspire me.....

Put the link up then ffs

Anytime data & technology has been discussed by the board and management they've made it abundantly clear it's just there to support/assist what they do, but sure lets have a go at them all and act like they're blindly being lead by the stuff.

Well it's a bloody hindrance then. If data has supported/assisted getting players in who can't string two passes together, can't take a set piece or try something new from a throw in.

Of course they are being led by it; they've put great store by it and they said it isn't cheap so will be using it as much as possible or its money down the drain.

In the end common sense will overrule any data as the idea that fans will put up with the dross being served is for the birds.

Loads of teams throughout the EFL will be using data & tech in a similar way to us - some will have crap seasons and some will have good seasons. It's still football.

Come on Lew, I agree with a lot of your recent posts but think you're misunderstanding how this whole data thing is being used.

Paul Hurst, more so than any other manager in the league I would say, would not sign a player purely from some stats or data. He has always made it clear that stats only tell you so much and he's always insisted on judging a player with his own eyes.

So there's no way we are signing players just based from data. The data might help us identify players to focus or target scouting resources at, and/or for Hurst to go out and watch himself. Hurst has made it known that a pair of eyes can tell you more about a player than some stats, so it will only be helping him and the recruitment team identify possible targets to then go out and scout.  Surely no-one would have an issue with that?
