Pre-season has been a bit of a mare hasn’t it..? Some very exciting additions who will be great to watch and I am very much looking forward to the season but we are in for a rough ride I think We have abandoned our successful identity in favour of a Moneyball approach and I am fully supportive of that but due to an inexplicable injury situation the transition will have to take place (almost) entirely in the actual League Season where I am sure the majority of that was planned for preseason (we did a lot of business early for that reason I imagine) I am not worried about it in the medium/long term and am more than happy with a season of transition playing a more expansive brand of football but we, us fans, will be crucial in giving it time and accepting when it inevitably looks awful at times that it is a work in progress, something the newer fans haven’t really experienced Overall I feel very positive and don’t think this division is at its strongest this year and we’ll do alright but patience is required ⚽️💙 Not sure the club has ever suggested we’re taking a moneyball approach.

Literally everything they have said and done suggest that Call it a “Peterborough approach” if it makes you feel better Call it whatever you want but we have pivoted from draw in experienced players with a proven track record of success in higher levels by paying high wages on long contracts… to get them in young, develop them, sell them for a profit, play a style of passing from the back football that makes them more ready for a step up

Have you looked at the number of analysts we employ..? What do you think they are doing..?

Have you looked at the number of analysts we employ..? What do you think they are doing..? There is a difference between using analysts and stats as part of recruitment and moneyball. Have a little read up on it Dave.

Just play the kids today. It's ridiculous that we've organised 2 friendlies in 2 days a week before the season starts when we've already got an absolute mountain of injuries.
If we're the sort of club that plays 2 first team friendlies in 2 days then were probably the sort of club that has incredibly high intensity training and perhaps that's where injuries come from, because it can't be a coincidence, surely.

We’re also the sort of club that keeps winning leagues
