I didn't expect much movement on this but nothing 10 weeks later isn't encouraging. Given we need to do more with fewer resources -  integrating a top analytics bod would go along way.

 

 

 

 

 

He was a Balsom appointment. Looks like we’ve completed abandoned this side of the club

Almost every bit of good was Pearson's doing

I think i remember Brendan saying he was above average at analytics, so presume he's got this covered.

Still no replacement

Head of Analytics shifting to First team Lead Data Scientist, if it is the same role, is a concern imo. It should be an independent role reporting to the board rather than the DoF.

Analysing the notes that Brendan makes so that we can improve our defending from set pieces

Why would you report football related data to the business people instead of the person who heads up the football operations?

Would be great to see them recruiting a new Manager

Reporting to the director of football more power being given to Jon Rudkin

Might give that a go. My recent data engineering experience is in retail and digital marketing, but surely i would only need to build a data model that looked at sideways passing and the resulting score lines, and to put a power point together that explained 'STOP FU**ING DOING THAT'

Yes, only recently though. I ticked almost all boxes of the vacancy, was really tempted to apply

Not sure if it’s been posted somewhere already but good insight into what his role at Leicester was here - https://trainingground.guru/articles/mladen-sormaz-building-a-data-analytics-department

Sormaz? Is that the porn star caught out with Donald Trump?

[RedSoxUK]

Having this role sit under the Director of Football while the previous lead Analyst mentioned not getting proper time with the DoF stinks of how Rudkin operates.

 

Honestly Top, Susan, it's embarrassing you've allowed Rudkin to remain in the post for so long.

Yes, I got it.

 

Here's the last chart I sent to the DoF:

 

 

Where y= the relative shitness of the matches and x = the number of years Brendo Flashbelt was in charge.

 

Probably the most insightful analysis I produced for the club before we mutually agreed to the termination of my contract.

I think it was Tanner who reported that some analysts left the club as they were frustrated under Rodgers that their advice and insight wasn't being used.

What a ****. We have two things that put us apart from our rivals. The acadamy and scouting. He ****ed both.

I can definitely see this being the case - was it in an article?

"Brendan, I've got some data that shows when we fanny about with the ball in our own half, with players like Ndidi and Amartey, it's causing alot of errors leading to goals"

 

"Brendan, I've got some data that shows Danny Ward is operating at League One level currently and we should look at other options"

 

"Brendan, I've been doing some research, and it turns out Vardy is now 36 and has only scored once all season, perhaps giving our other strikers a run would be beneficial"

 

Yeah, I'd leave too...

[Stinkenzo]

Vardy has never really had a run this season has he?

It was an Athletic one a few days ago. I can't remember exactly but I think it was more to do with recruitment staff getting disillusioned with us signing dossers like Bertrand and Vestergaard, might be wrong though.

Fewer analysts then?

Let's hope BR left his notebooks behind.
