Fletch Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yesterday's episode is "How has Angelo Alessio turned things around at Kilmarnock", worth a listen. It's an odd podcast, they have all the stats but sometimes come across like they don't watch an awful lot of the football that they're talking about. Most of the stats just confirm what we've been watching. Interesting discussion points below; - Del Fabro's og ended a run of 857 minutes conceding only to Celtic. - Niko has better defensive stats than Taylor last season but not contributing the same going forward. - Stats would suggest SOD is playing better than most realise. - El Makrini is the no 1 winner of defensive duels in the league. - Millar is one of the best direct dribblers in the league. - We're probably too reliant on Burke for creativity. - Our defence is "astounding" but we need to score more. SOD being top scorer being the main alarming stat. All in all, we have developed a solid base that needs to be added to in January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Great stat on El Makrini. Shows in part why we dipped on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that should be changed to 863 minutes without any opposition player scoring against us. Looks and sounds better as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piersquared Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 It’s without doubt the most boring podcast around about Scottish football. I did listen to the Alessio one but some of the others are bone dry and over reliant on stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 What’s the definition of a ‘direct dribbler’? Is it simply running with the ball because his final product on Saturday was very poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 or 4 Scottish Football Podcasts I'm more inclined to listen to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting up the line with the ball I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we miss Taylor one bit in all honesty and wouldn't be surprised to see that stat is true! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats they have access to will be the same paid for stats that clubs and scouts use (wyscout?), so it will be correct. It's probably more down to the style of play than anything else I'd expect. It's all down to ratios and percentages and Niko's ratio is probably based on his handful of games whereas Taylor is probably based over the whole of last season. As usual with stats it's how you read them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
