Not wanting to take any credit from DC or the squad, but anyone think that having a performance analyst as part of the set up has contributed in any way to our recent fortunes on the pitch? One thing is for sure, hes not done any harm! Maybe he could be one of our best signings this season and far more valuable than any of the other recent changes such as the new score board which had its own thread!

It's bound to have as it can focus players on the fitness and other bits they don't do well on, as i recall din't big mal send the squad to bath uni for a similar thing.
Could also be a good tie up with the uwe if they have one of those sport analysis departments to help hone the players skills, must also be a mental boost to the players as not everyone at this level will have dedicated support

It's not overly clear to me what Scooby Dubey has actually done yet to be honest. He said in his interview he was a conduit between Wael and DC but didn't really seem to push the other areas he has experience in very strongly.

He said in his interview he was a conduit between Wael and DC but didn't really seem to push the other areas he has experience in very strongly. He walks round the pitch on matchdays listening to the comments shouted by the fans and writes as many of them down as he can. Then he types them up and hands them to DC. That's what I'd do, anyway. |

DC probably told the players if they don't improve WD would have them in for extra fitness training!!!

I think DC is lukewarm at best where Mr Dubey is concerned.
From what he's said in various interviews he will be kept on a very tight leash. There is only room for one boss, and DC is the man, and very protective of his fiefdom. He will use Dubey as he sees fit, but will see to it that he doesn't get too big for his boots.
It's the DC and Yatesey show at The Mem, even Marcus appears to be a bit of a peripheral figure.
Just my opinion you understand.

I've noticed there seems to be a real urgency and tenacity about our play over the last six or seven games, which is great.
The pace of recent games has been high tempo and players have been chasing every ball, closing down in Midfield and tracking back.
Not sure if this has anything to do with the analytical side of things or, as I'm sure I've read on a previous thread, a Golden carrot has been dangled in front of the players as an extra incentive.

Completely impossible to say looking in from the outside.
Haven't heard anything of him since that interview.

As above: wouldn't like to pinpoint the improvement from the outside in.
Im sure there are many factors at work.
-takeover
-feel good factor
-player improvement (lines springs to mind)
-Taylor back on form
-worse opponents
-large squad is paying dividends. Whilst some have criticised DC for over-tinkering. Perhaps, now his 'madness' is proving good. We've suffered a few injuries recently but no one has come into the squad stale. Those who've come in no there roles and play well. Everyone's ready. We have a medium sized squad, in terms numbers but in terms of being ready and active for the first team I don't think they're many larger. Look how injuries are unsettling Plymouths season.

I think this is fair, but then, istm, it's a good thing that Dubey is a junior sort of advisor, rather than an experienced, been there done that, sort of DoF. |

Most are out of contract which always make players give a little more, plus the Boom boom Wael factor! |

Could also be win be win bonuses. Perhaps Wael has offered every player an extra grand for every win ? I haven't got a problem with footballers being driven by money and I don't see why so many people have got a problem with it. Most of us work harder if we think we'll benefit financially and being a footballer is a short career so there's no reason they should be any different. |

I don't think a lot of people have a problem with footballers being driven by money but it needs to be incentive based not just big wages, personally I've been saying this for years now, a footballers basic wage should be quite small but with good bonuses for goals, wins, high league positions and things like that, then you would know that the players will be playing to their absolute best at all times to try and earn more money rather than like the succession of over paid wastrels we've had at our club over the past load of years who know they're going to be getting a decent wage no matter how hard they try. |

Very good point. Our players are playing like they're behind on their rent they haven't got a pot to water in and they've been told they'll be set up for life if we win promotion !!! |

Very good point. Our players are playing like they're behind on their rent they haven't got a pot to p**s in and they've been told they'll be set up for life if we win promotion !!! Agree to a point,but if every footballer had a basic wage but with bonuses,some would still be bottom of the league and earning no bonuses even giving their all. Probably make it harder to sign players when your near the bottom hardly winning any bonuses. |

Perhaps under NH they were all told there was little chance of a pay rise next season even if they were offered new contracts in the summer now, like us, they've realised we have real prospects to be a force to be reckoned with. |

He is a stats man and has a degree in sports journalism (not science). So will be looking at data to help advise DC, but DC still the boss! Expect to see GPS pockets on next seasons shirts. . . It's the modern game
