Quoted from jimgtfc
The one thing that can completely nullify the data approach is still our location, and if an identified player wants to come here. Let’s say we want a central midfielder, under the age of 26, who averages over 80 passes per game, with a pass completion rate of over 85%, with over 50% of those passes being forward. We might be able to identify 5 players who fit those criteria, but they might not be available, or if they are, they will also be wanted by other, possibly more attractive clubs who are looking down the data route, they might be based in the south and might not want to come to Grimsby, and so we’re left looking down the list, and end up recruiting players that don’t quite fit the criteria and we force a style of football on them that doesn’t suit them.

I’m a huge fan of JS and AP, but he’s very much nailing his colours to the mast here, we have to get this transfer window right, otherwise these methods will be questioned.


That's not really related to whether a data-driven approach is used. Even with the traditional 'eye for a good player' method, we'd face the same challenges concerning location.

However, if implemented effectively, data analytics can pinpoint players who fit our style but may have been missed by other clubs. This could potentially give us an edge in securing their signatures.

Fair play to him, I say. By the time lockdown ended my two kids were eating their own faeces and howling at the moon. Can’t say I was doing much better myself.

I'm pretty left-wing (and like this article), but that is absolutely peak tofu-eating Guardian-reader stuff from Stockwood. As long as they enjoyed it, I suppose.

Because of the length of some of your posts, I sometimes think we’re still in lockdown 🤔🤩

Regarding Jason, he says it’s a 2 hour 34 minute drive home along the A180 and M62, not that I want his exact address and I’m not going to stalk him but that suggests he lives over Manchester area, I always assumed he lived “ darn sarf”.

That’s exactly my point though. You could all the data on a player, down to his inside leg measurements, it all boils down to whether the player wants to come here or not.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Yes, but it was made so much harder because they used Ian Holloway as the model

To bring the discussion away from which suburb of Manchester is 2 hours and 34 minutes away from Blundell Park, I thought the core content of the article was interesting. He has nailed his colours to the mast now though. At some point in the future we will either get a transfer window wrong or fail to get the best out of the data-led signings. In a situation where we perform badly despite signing from the data, it will be interesting to see if the blame is levelled at the coach, the data, or those analysing the data.

If the standard of the January recruitment can be replicated over the summer then we are in a good place. I'd like a couple of young players with potential through the door also because we do need to be generating income from our transfer business if we are to progress.
