Ask gibbo to put money on that lotto, might fill the transfer purse a bit. Might fancy being first choice, not going to get a look in for the next 5 years there with Btec Rashford upfront for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Rioch's Braves 711 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Yes the players we've been linked with on this forum, have made me realise why I renewed my season card, we're going to be a force to be reckoned with fantastic. The ambition of the club is breathtaking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I still can't wait to be back in the stands in August, though. I'm disappointed we're not having a home friendly too. Will be keeping an eye on the pre-season schedule as I'd like to get to a game or two, hopefully they're not all as far away as Cornwall!

ManBearPig 1,833 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I’m so glad we have a manager like Neil Warnock who will disregard statistics because he can “judge a player for himself” and then sign a player who comes bottom of the pile for the majority of the goal keeping statistics for the season just gone 🤣 Now that is irony! Worryingly though, does this highlight Warnock is off the mark when selecting players to come to us? OR are we making players worse when they come to us? What are we actually coaching them when they’re here? Another worrying point about this is that it took him so long to change goal keepers when he could see on the pitch he was rubbish! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I’m in no way a fan of Bett but didn’t he keep something like a dozen clean sheets. I thought I saw he was in the top ten for clean sheets last season. Link to post Share on other sites

When he did face shots, he usually let them in. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I thought I saw he was in the top ten for clean sheets last season. The good thing you can see from those stats from the EFL Stats Twitter is to move away from purely judging clean sheets as the means for testing goalkeepers, though. It's probably the most basic metric but in this instance we know it's not really representative of Bettinelli as a keeper. Or at least not of his technical skills as a keeper. There's arguments to be made in favour of his effect of being the man to help organise the team in front of him, I think you can probably give him some credit for the clean sheets in that respect. Those arguments aren't remotely as strong as those to point out he wasn't very good at saving shots he was expected to save though, for example. I think it's interesting given statistical models we use that clean sheets still determine the golden glove winner. I wouldn't necessarily like that to change but it'd be good if we could have proper awards piggybacking off the stats that perhaps more accurately show who the best players are. We could have best keepers who didn't keep the most clean sheets and (prepare yourself for this one) best goal-scorer who didn't score the most goals! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bishop Auckland is first up apparently, 3 days after the Euros finish. Yes it was a sarcastic remark on my part, frankly I have very little expectation with regard to the transfer market, because over the last few years our transfer dealings are for the most part disappointing, some clubs have a good scouting system and some don't and we're in the latter unfortunately, so I don't expect a lot to be excited about. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
