Unsure if this sort of post is allowed or if it should go in a different section of the site let me know.
Wanted to share this, its a bit of stats analysis for us so far this season.
Any feedback feel free to let me know, be as critical as you like as I know a lot of you don't really like stats.

A nice piece of work which appears a good and valid attempt to interpret basic stats and use them to bring understanding of the makeup of the team and it’s performances.

It’s interesting that you appear to have reached the same conclusion some of us predicted during the summer transfer window. It does make me wonder if a similar piece of work (with a different author) has been produced for the club prompting an apparent change of direction in respect of the defence.

Was trying to find a reason when writing for this however its difficult to split the stats between games so I could only really look at player involvement. Turning point seems to have been the Crawley game, arguably Harbottles worst performance. That and his injury seem to have kept him out the side, but it's worth noting we've only won twice without him all season, against Rochdale and Hartlepool, despite him missing 8 games. During those 8 games we've conceded 15 goals (1.875 per game) and picked up 8 points (1 point per game). In the 18 he's started we've picked up 31 points (1.72 per game) and conceded 20 (1.11 per game).

Average current league position of the first 13: 12.1
Average of the last 13: 13.6

Pretty similar tbh. Obviously this doesn't consider each teams form at the time (example Stockport are a completely different side now)
