I'm sorry, what?

Yep, that's what it says.

I'm sorry, what?

Apparently the goalkeeper had the best delivery of the ball in the team. It's what you get when you just look at stats, and not how the game is actually played...

Anyone know what this is? Is it like posh panini stickers?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looks like trading cards rather than stickers. Looks like a good chunk of the big boys have Futera deals.

Yeah well known story over here, that was suggested by the chairman (owners dad) also wanted a telephone put in the dugout, to contact the manager during the game.
Appointed a manager with no uefa licence who had no experiance of professional football.
Plus few other mad things
Will have to dig out an article earlier in the year about it

So reading between the lines, we’ve turned in to hoofball merchants, with a lack of goal scorers across the squad, who rely heavily on our goalkeeper…

Cultured hoof ball merchants though, given the accuracy.

 

[Sniffer]

Less long balls in total than most sides on the list. How that makes us hoofball merchants is beyond me.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Goals against + Saves for Sa isn't any higher than the rest of them on that list either, so it's not like he's overworked compared to the competition, just more effective.

true, tbf

We'd need to see what percentage of passes are long and I'd like to see it game by game to see if there's been a change and if the accuracy has changed.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Spiers article about Peak6 is worth a read, particularly the bit about their involvement with Dundalk where their analytics team suggested that their goalkeepers take corners.

Looks like they are selling up at Dundalk, in talks with two consortium's, been rumours for the past few months that they wanted out.

Interview with everyone’s favourite member of the coaching staff Tony Roberts on the athletic… I enjoyed it anyway

We have the lowest inaccurate long passes in the league.

Implies to me we don't hoof it per se, more that we play long passes when it's the right thing to do.

Quite refreshing that he recognises that our play and creativity has got worse and they're trying to get back to that whilst still winning.

He still comes across as a cock though, when he says things like 'I like a bit of banter' he comes across as that bullying prick who uses casual racism and insults for humour that people are trying to eradicate from the work place.

I’d say that massive assumption followed by generalisation/stereotype is worse than anything he’s probably done.

This hatred for him is weird. Started the day he joined. Swear it’s just because his name is “Tony Roberts” from Wales who likes banter. If he was foreign with the same personality the response wouldn’t be the same

No he doesn't. Your assumptions are ridiculous and insulting

 

[WolfMan]

Think he comes across alright in that piece personally. Nothing wrong with having a bit of a laugh, it's good to have that blend of personalities in any team.

Having a a bit of a joker in a team can relieve tension and keeps up morale, as long as it's not done in a way that's a cover for bullying, but there's nothing to suggest he's that at all, don't think he'd last in the game long if he was. Bruno comes across as quite serious as well so it's probably a good mix the two of them.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

My issue with Roberts is that it's extremely likely he felt bidding for Keiffer Moore was a good idea.
