Get your dictator hats at the ready...

[SuperSAINT]

Do you know, when I first saw that he posted that on twitter I wondered if he might get punished for it.

[Pat from Poole]

What a shock......

[Window Cleaner]

who needs a first team performance analyst anyway, just another snout in the trough. Since the change of manager it's pretty evident that the players are capable of more than they were before so everything connected with the old regime should be swept

out.

[Saint Charlie]

Fits with what Dig Dig said about that Matthew Youngman guy he knows.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Where is MLG recently? Has he been head-hunted for the job?

What did 'Dig Dig' say about Youngman....?

[Dig Dig]

Well 'Trousers', Matt Youngman was recruited as a new analyst shortly before the end of the window and I wrote that he was unexpectantly called in on transfer deadline day for some ad hoc analysis. Of what, I don't yet know.

Stopped posting the same day as the "Matthew Youngman" thread....

[Webby]

I read somewhere, possibly here, that MP isn't big on analysis, but more on instinct. Anyone else?

[paris]

Is Nick Harvey still wth SFC ?

[ottery st mary]

NH in the dug out for Man City........game

[Crazy Diamond]

I noticed that Steve was contacted on Twitter by a journalist asking him to follow him, so that he could send him a direct message. Wondered what that was about.

he might well be, there's a poster on this forum who's son is part of the first team set up at West Ham, I thought it was the The Gaffer but I could be wrong, you'd have to go back through his posts because he mentions it often enough (if it is indeed he)

[Frank's cousin]

I understood the Gaffer was the master of comedy... but it all gets a bit mysterious and all that... Gaffer is good mates with Matt, so think you have the wrong Gaffer

I think you'll find I'm right, half of the threads started by thegaffer refer to West Ham in one way or another.

I think I was thinking of the wrong one. Isn't the gaffer one of Mike osman's brothers?

I have no idea

[Bucks Saint]

No loss, I could do his job in 10 mins. First Team performance this season:

 

Was cr&p, scored lots but lets lots in, entertaining but could not hold onto any leads. Then improved slowly and stopped defending like muppets. Scored a few less. Got a couple of decent results. Too many draws but some were against top 5 teams. Then had a change in manager. Hustled and pressed teams much more. Defended badly a couple of times. Lots of plaudits but not many more points. Then battered Man City. All is well.

 

Actually took 1 minute. Easy.

[Smirking_Saint]

MLG is off of twitter too

[hypochondriac]

Probably on holiday. Either that or been sectioned.

#saintsfc spent over £35m on players this season, the last game saw them outplay Man Utd at Old Trafford with 21 shots. Yet people still complain.

 

 

We might have to bring Turkish in for questioning soon.

Naive of him to post something work related and somewhat private, or another over reaction from those in charge?

Indeed he does, or at least he did the last time I heard. Used to play in same teams as Lallana, Walcott & a few others when he was younger. Comes from a well known Millbrook family who i know quite well.

[LGTL]

Jamie Osman isn't it? Nephew of Mike.

 

Cushy little number for him.

[pap]

So has MLG been taken up in some kind of Cortese rapture?

Perhaps he's suddenly found faith and put himself up for the Vatican job.

[pap]

Perhaps he's suddenly found faith and put himself up for the Vatican job.

 

Or has been actively interested in the Papal position the whole time. He may be there right now, talking about Catholicism's magnificent catchment area.

MLG is at home listening to old five live footage!

Currently off work with a strained neck.

Stopped posting the same day as the "Matthew Youngman" thread....

 

I'm not sure if I'm following the thread correctly, but if we're intimating that Matthew Le God's real name is Matthew, then I wonder if he meant the "Le God" part to be homage to Le Tissier or simply a piece of self-analysis.

[brmbrm]

Suspended...resigned... = bung, departure, silence.

 

Or at least it is in 99% of the world.

[Turkish]

I heard he was researching the last census results to see how many people put Saints down as their religion to prove we have more march going fans than god.

Currently off work with a strained neck.

What does the 'Academy GPS Analyst' do? which is the 64th job listed in the link above. Some what below the job of 'Academy Mini Bus Driver' of which there are three 43rd, 44th & 45th in the list.

[The9]

I read somewhere, possibly here, that MP isn't big on analysis, but more on instinct. Anyone else?

 

I read somewhere yesterday that Pochettino is massively into the analysis and also does stuff like half-time video presentations - or at least he has done.

I'm guessing they take all of the data from player positions during the match and analyse it to produce a breakdown of a player's position during a match, the distances they have travelled, how much is sprinting, and so on.

[Saint Charlie]

Yeah - he had a date feed that went directly to his iphone at Espanyol and he would review it with players at HT.

Both, silly risking his job given all the reports about Cortese's drive and general involvement and obvious desire to minimise Adkins' name in relation to Saints at the time as seen from the Everton programme, but also the sort of thing that could be easily overlooked.

[thegaffer]

If only you knew. Mind you he is currently with the first team in Dubai on a much needed mid-winter break.

Hey Gaffer - doesn't look like your bet on Andy Carroll to be top prem scorer will come in! Hammers on the slide. Villa performance was awful.

[david in sweden]

if people go on Facebook, or twitter or whatever, they really should consider the eventual consequences...especially if they are trying to " make news" or be contraversial.

 

it may be fun to read, or question someone, but does it REALLY matter. If they were doing what they're paid for....they'd be too busy to write such stuff.

 

Best advice - forget it and get on with the job.

[Dig Dig]

What about writing posts on SWF dAvie?
