Or if you include the 8 games, he's steadily declining

2006/7 1.25 ppg

2007/8 1.20 ppg

2008/9 1.16 ppg

You can prove anything with carefully selected stats

 

quite obviously

not good enough

 

well.............

firstly statistics never PROVE anything-they just give pointers of varying degrees of confidence</p>

secondly I wasn't trying to suggest anything-just quoting the facts</p>

it is difficult to compare season by season as circumstances -teams-players-injuries-suspensions-luck?-all change from year to year so rarely are you comparing like with like</p>

 

obviously?

not in my book-he's worth another season at least-so long as we stay up-which I think we will

 

RE: well.............

...other than "Davey has been rock solidly consistent!" - why post them otherwise?

I take your point about them proving nothing though - mine was a slightly tongue in cheek post

 

If he carries on at the above rate of decline it will be touch and go for 50 points once again next season

 

Well within one standard deviation, he's performed the same each season;</p>

Average 1.20</p>

Standard deviation 0.05</p>

</p>

 

The facts show he's not improved as a manager since he first took the job or we would have an higher PPG ratio.

 

No they don't

The facts show that the PPG ratio hasn't improved, they don't measure how he's improved as a manager - that would be a more subjective thing that you'd have to ascertain by speaking with the players.

 

facts don't prove anything

they're just interesting to look at and we should be thankful paul.d posts them up

 

I'd be chuffed if we finished up with 55 points, considering all the injury problems & such this year.

I think we've been unlucky this year, you've only got to look at the results when a number of our first 11 have been out. I think that's been recognised & this summer the dead wood (Van Homoet, Souza, Leon, Odejayi etc) will be shipped out.

I like to hope anyroad.

 

Do you think he'll know what subjective means? nt
