Rose has loads of touches in the opposition box as he wins so many flick-ons. Unfortunately, nobody around him in recent games to benefit.

It’s exactly that. The data showed that they’d had the fewest touches in the opposition penalty box out of all the teams. Amazingly they’d had fewer than Cheltenham who have only managed one goal.


I think, or hope you are pulling my leg but nothing would surprise me.

They will be doing away with league tables soon and you will get promoted or relegated on the strength of how many touches you have in the opposition box.

The Cowley's, who some Lincoln fans would like back, are completely stats and numbers driven, and Danny Cowley once said that football should be seen as science. They demand a minimum amount of crosses per game for instance.

Doesn't matter how many times you diss stats Lew, the use of them is widespread.

Is that why they keep getting the sack?

Lots of managers ask for lots of crosses,  Hurst asks for lots of tracking back. It's just a managers preference.

Data has never ever won any team a football match.

Yes it was a great riposte.  I should have put statistics and foxed him.

I’m actually not. A friend of mine co-hosts the Stacey West podcast and I saw some of the stats he posted yesterday. They rank 22nd for possession and expected goals, had the fewest corners and crosses in to the box in the league as well as a host of other stats where they’ve performed very poorly. All of it adds up to indicate that perhaps they’re in a slightly false league position currently and are likely to continue their descent down the league unless something changed.

On its own it’s not enough to fire someone but I believe they’ve also had a very boring and uninspiring style which has been difficult to watch (sounds familiar) and it’s obviously led them to decide that change is needed.

Surely it's better to have two crosses in a game and score from one of them.

Than put ten crosses in and not score at all.

It's a simple game and two much thought is put in by some managers.

I know we have had a bit of back and forth on this subject, but as much as I recognise the extensive use of stats in the modern game, I think it is one of the reasons that football has become boring and robotic, especially in the lower leagues.

Players are now extremely fit and well drilled, but not a lot of them have much in the way of skill and flair, or any unpredictability.
