No idea how or why our transfer budget has managed to shrink so considerably given we've qualified for the CL and have a mammoth new shirt sponsor. But there we go Craig. Hopefully it's just a negotiation tool. I'm sure we said last year that our spending was over and the money was gone............then we found £63 million and bought Isak.

Still think Craig is bitter from being banned after his bust up with Bruce. I'm guessing that's all resolved but he is definitely on the glass half empty when reporting on Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff when it is graphs that I need a degree to decipher. I just ignore it I do think analytics has jumped the shark, if that is even possible. Like desperate to use data over a really short space of time or using select stats to suit their argument. Seems like we have somehow gone too far into it and just ignored the eye test or the intangibles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I just see what goes on here sometimes so I might be underplaying his content, but Lawson doesn't go far enough with what he puts out imo. He seems to have access to good data but just makes a pie chart or a passing radar and calls it a day. I brought it up the other week, but he made a small thread essentially just pointing out that we made dummy runs on a set piece against Brighton, it felt like it should have been a minor point as part of a larger analysis.

Lush Vlad Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Does he not do fairly long threads now and then? Guessing they are trying to entice people into using Stats Bomb or whoever it is he works for now. To get more in depth stuff? I dunno. Never looked too far into it.

Matt1892 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I don’t think they will wait for the RCB, we have been lucky that we have been able to field a consistent defence all season but an injury to Schar will cause us major problems. We need depth at RCB every bit as much as we need cover for Bruno in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
