Jason’s interview

Because you evidently don’t know what you’re talking about. I keep reading in the hope that one day you might’ve taken the opportunity to educate yourself on the matter but, alas, the day had not yet arrived.

With regard to data analysis you don't need it to see that we have signed some crap players, played some crap tactics and crap performances and are 4 places above the bottom of the football league.

I will add some data for free.............

We are 1 point worse off after 16 games than we were with that twit Holloway's squad.

That in itself is enough to be sacked for.

I bet the data for the top 5 teams is better than the data for the bottom 5.

I'm sorry lew, but you're making yourself look a bit silly.
You will use data, or have data used on your behalf, every day of your life
You choose which insurance to take out based on the data of price, service, convenience etc etc - the data doesn't tell you who to use, but it gives you soem guidance. Equally data informs the insurance company as to what to charge you.
Presumably you have some of pension? The pension and investment community uses data all he time to INFORM its decisions. INFORM being the operative word.
I'm sure Jason has made the same point,as did PH.
One last point. If our data scientist said that throw ins down the line in our own half are 10% less likely to result in the opposition gaining possession, or if throw in down the lines in the opposition half resulted in 5 or 10% more crosses or chances, would you still ignore those stats, or might you just incorporate them into your tactical plan?

If using these data analyists and recruitment guys have brought us to this situation they should be sacked and replaced.

When we were in that slump in non league and people were calling for the head of Hurst, the board kept him on because the stats suggested we were better than the results were showing, and we went on to get promoted, so you could say, in that particular case, the use of stats worked very much in our favour, and we had a fortnight that will never be forgotten.

If we had got rid at that time, you never know what might have happened, but there is a more than even chance we would still be in non league.

Who knows?

and that's part of the point isn't it? 1878 gave him time a year ago because the stats, and their eyes, could tell we were there, or thereabouts. It's obvious that this year the stats and their eyes are telling a different story. They've still given PH time, but the stats and performances and results are no different. Hence it's time to make a change

I wonder what the stats were when he took us out of the Football League?

Wonder what the stats are for the percentage of your posts you have mentioned that in the last 2 years?

Quoted from Stadium

This.
Some think its only GTFC using data analysis.
Anybody who thinks nobody else is using it are living in the past.

All clubs use data, but most don’t talk about it as though something new has been invented.
