Think the new regime have watched Moneyball !


A mate of mine told me that is exactly what the Club are doing and JS sort of confirmed it in his interview with using data to help the recruitment process. If you remember the link with Loughborough University that was announced some while ago, this apparently was what their focus is, using data to identify players that are undervalued/under utilised in their teams that we can bring in and get more out of them.

The fact we’re willing to pay money for a DM raises them in anticipation for what else we’re willing to do in other areas

This is the signing for me that feels like the vital peice of the puzzle to take this side to the next level. Ben foxes playoff performances were brilliant but overall during the season a defensive midfield lynchpin to really allow the attack more freedom wouldve put us closer to thw title I think (not that it mattered)

Did we pay a fee, and if so, how much was it?

I’ve watched all the playoff games in full again and as good as Ben Fox was, especially against county, we were wide open in midfield against the counter attack on several occasions in each game, and not just in extra time with tired legs. Obviously it wasn’t just fox at fault, and many of them came from lazy passes giving the ball away. I definitely think we need a more defensive minded central midfielder especially in a higher league.

Thrilled with this, he was exceptional when we played them at the Shay. I remember chatting to my mate at the game about how impressed we were with him and googling him afterwards to see he'd never really been anywhere.
Covered every blade of grass and dominated the centre of the park.

Hope he can make the step up.
