Yeah, but knowing ITFC we'll just get a work experience lad to set up some excel sheets for National League South assists. |  | |  |

It's only positive if it's implemented and funded correctly. If it's done on the cheap as most things with us then it won't work and is just more noise trying to quieten down the fans. After all how much of Evans' video before the Hurst appointment has come to fruition? |  | |  |

It's obvious from reading it that it is clearly a change, so why would you think that? |  |

I am being tongue in cheek. It shouldn't even need to be a thing we make announcements about. It's something that should have underpinned our work already for several years. Let's hope we do it properly. |  |

Because he's being sarcastic and it's April Fools Day? I really do worry about some of our fanbase. |  |

I did cringe a bit reading that article. It's all well and good, but the problem with this moneyball approach is that stats are only a tool. They don't guarantee success at all. Do we have anyone with good enough judgement to use more stats as part of an overall strategy? |  |

Change in recruitment policy for us.... on 08:20 - Apr 1 with 3031 views | Giant_Midget | According to the data, own goal is one of our leading scorers this season, so we should make sure to sign him. |  | |  |

Three slates and an abacus. Finally ITFC is moving with the times. |  |

I'm guessing the club will get someone on board to sign these players for Town on FM21 to see how they get on first. Got to do our due diligence. |  |

Worth considering that only a tool would totally rely on stats. |  |

This is the problem with you millenials, you want the moon on a stick. |  |

Change in recruitment policy for us.... on 08:43 - Apr 1 with 2780 views | LankHenners | They’re just going to bring up a spreadsheet of every out of contract League 1 and 2 player and filter by ‘assists’ aren’t they? Anyway, good to know the club has realised far better run clubs than us have been doing this for years and will make a half-baked attempt to copy it. |  |

If I remember correctly, didn't Everton do just that? Think they employed a couple of people just to play FM to 'scout' players, before sending their actual scouts off to watch them. |  |

Poor old Lee is a bit out of his depth isn't he? Put up as the front man to present stuff like this, and in January telling us why the loan signings were a significant step up from what we had. As per other comments, the fact we see this as a big statement to boast about tells its own story about where we are as a club. |  |
