yarddog73 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Why would you have them scouted when you've got the relegation aid Statbomb at our disposal. So glad we've tapped in to that and are well on target for our top 10 finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishfly Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 StatsBomb. Been doing a little research as I`d never heard of it. Someone mentioned on here that no top team winning anything is without it. Really? Well, if lots of clubs have it; they can't all be winning can they? Competitive advantage comes from having decent players in a decent line-up, managed well. We are in non-league for christ's sake. A manager, and indeed anyone who knows anything about football, can see a good player when he sees one. It's just more nonsense created by the nonsense generation. Oh and anyone calling the beautiful game, soccer (which I saw several times on their website) clearly knows nothing about football either. I really do despair if Latics are relying on such drivel as part of their recruitment policy. The saying; lies, damned lies and statistics wasn't made up for any old reason. It's because it has a large element of truth in it. Let the manager do the recruiting, full stop. He then lives or dies by his own decisions not some stupid bloody database on meaningless stats.

I never understand why some people get so worked up about the word “soccer”. It’s used by the Yanks a lot, yes, but sensibly in their case to differentiate it from American Football. It’s been used over here since the game was codified, and is simply an abbreviation/corruption of Association Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possible that we'll be watching either Braintree or Chelmsford next season. Both places I've been to (although Braintree have a new ground now) for what were local derbies in Conference South. Chelmsford would be a whole new level of Southern Leisure Centre, it having a single stand and being in the middle of an athletics track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the irony of calling a whole generation nonsense when you have just come out with a red faced tirade about a stats tool and the word soccer is not lost on you. The short of it is that some teams try to "moneyball" it but most use it as a way for scouts to watch more players easier. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
