Brilliant analysis, thank you. As a data driven club I hope those in the club hierarchy read this. It is clear that the discontent of the fans is backed by data and facts. It is long ball, inaccurate, disjointed and defensive football. If this is elite coaching then it is seriously underwhelming. Let’s hope there is a big rethink in tactics as the long ball stats, Whittaker numbers and overall decline in attacking output is a recipe for relegation. If there were only data points regarding fan sentiment and boredom from watching the football on display then that might give a full picture. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Richard that's kind. Of course, the club will be well aware of all this and more – but it does make you question what they see in these numbers and what they intend to do about it. I do think some form of communication should have been made.
Not good reading. The stats back up what we’ve been seeing. In other words carry on like this and we’re down. I hope the international break allows a reset. The loss of Gyabi is a blow. Forshaw needs to come back fit and strong for the run in! I’m not optimistic. Personally, I think we’d have been in a similar position under SS but at least we had an identity. I don’t blame IF, entirely, because we needed tightening up. Fingers and toes crossed! 😳
I mean the defensive numbers have some positives. But the attacking and distribution numbers are a mess. The club have all this data and a load more, so the questions are what is being done about it.
I would say that the change in Whittaker touches numbers does indicate changes are being made. Sadly in the Preston game it seemed to make zero impact.
Don’t think we can underestimate the effect, on morale, that the loss of SS, and Azaz, has had. A lot of issues we see now have always been there but were covered up because we were playing with more freedom and positivity.
