greydos Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 So this is gonna seem really petty and silly. I have nothing to say but I just hate signing into the Forum and seeing Steve Bruce’s thread above Eddie’s. So I’m bumping this up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Steve Bruce is terrible and his job. We all know this. The football world inexplicably didn’t know what we did or didn’t want to admit it, so we had to get used to living as a do correct minority. But it’s over now. Let’s just know we were right but satisfy ourselves with the efforts of our current manager. So how do we think Eddie’s higher line copes with Manure’s pacy counter threat?

buzza Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think it´s quite possible we might bring Targett back to counter Antony. Not sure if Burn is the best for rapid opposition players... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll be going there to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks to the October Goalfest, we now have a positive goal difference for the entire Eddie reign. League games only, starting with the Brentford 3-3. P36 W16 D10 L10 F49 A47 Pts 58 GD+2 Steve Bruce's goal difference as NUFC manager was minus forty-five.

Read that this morning, I was surprised how much detail he was prepared to tell the journalists about his methods. The sign of a man truly confident in his own ideas, he knows the secret sauce is only part of it, the most important factor is still the chef.

Stottie Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just on goal difference again, but goal difference to points is one of the strongest correlations going. This is from 2011, the relative infancy of stats analysis of football, so the formula might be slightly off given how lopsided the league has since gone with a top one or two, not the top four or six of before. There are many other articles about GD and they all say the same thing = massive correlation with points, and a great predictor of who's actually good for anyone making bets. https://jameswgrayson.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/the-relationship-between-points-and-goal-difference/ Par for a goal difference of zero over a season is 52 points. For Eddie's first 36 games, points predicted off goal difference would be about 53.5 pts vs. the 56 pts gained, but that is probably because our GD has been negatively affected by the Bruce hangover wallopings. Since Eddie's points total is close to the predicted one, we can probably write off theories about unsustainably getting points from lots of flukey wins in February/March. I think it is concern over that that leads people to suggest we should aim merely for mid table and not as high as seventh or eighth. Just for fun, here's the current goal difference table. We're fourth, but are likely to be overtaken by Chelsea (great squad and Potter effect) and Liverpool who have a game in hand. Charitably cancel the Man U 4-0 loss at Brentford and they are still miles off CL. GD suggests Brighton (and us) fully deserve their position. Brentford, Leeds, Palace etc. will rise up the table. Fulham and Bournemouth will sink and the latter will probably be relegated. Leicester are near the bottom, but some combination of new goalie (has to be!) and ditching Brenda should save them.
