This was an interesting podcast. The guest was a dala analytics specialist. He talked about what information is harvested, how it's done and what type of data clubs are looking at for certain areas.

Something I was unaware of is how players are now using the data as leverage in contract talks, De Bruyne was one of the first and he didn't have an agent either as we know. Players are also using the data to find out which clubs might suit them when they are moving. Something to bear in mind when players are turning clubs down.

He also talked about how Liverpool developed their own in-house algorithm with an astro physicist in order to give a value to every action that occurs in games. It made me wonder whether we've developed our own bespoke system or if we've bought one in.

Syrianos had a massive amount of stuff in his data kit when he first came in after promotion. I know from talking to people who dealt with him in Germany, that his algorithms and data point is all custom based on his previous work.
Given he's now at the sharp end of recruitment for the Marinakis group of teams, I'd say he's feeding data into the relevant clubs scouting and recruitment teams based on their needs.

It's definitely a smarter plan than we have used befoee

It's one of those thoughts where one thing happens (in this case a Forest victory in April 2022) and that forever becomes the narrative in a person's mind, regardless of anything that happens after. We see this level of lazy punditry time and time again.

E.g. Forest sign loads of players. This happened one summer so that's the narrative now. Forever.

You could actually go through every club in the league and come up with a throwaway comment that seems to be widely accepted but may or may not be bourne out of fact.

Yep - regarding signings, last time he was on he was berating the club for signing players for the squad but not signing Solanke and similar players who would improve the starting 11 - 4 new signings started on Saturday.

Cut Garry a bit of slack, he has done more for the club than you or I would ever do. It is all about opinions and debate is healthy, no need to throw your toys out of the pram

Can we separate the player from the pundit? Was a great player, probably a nice bloke but one of the worst pundits out there.

I think Birtles is good. Yes he’s a bit out of touch at times but I like him on Forest Focus.

I find his commentary incredibly irritating but I like him as a pundit.

I've never seen Football Ramble before but the title is promising...

Football Ramble used to be the best football podcast by a country mile in the mid 2010s. It was just like being down the pub with 4 of your mates and having a laugh.

Then they messed with the format in about 2021, invited more people on it & now it is so watered down. That Vish guy in particular is so full of himself I just stopped listening.

The host Marcus is a great guy though.

You’re probably right. I’m fine with opinions and debate it’s the as assertions of facts which are wrong that get me, I find that just lazy and patronising.

If anyone was playing Birtles bingo today they'd have almost got the full house. All that was missing was a mention of him playing centre half.

Yep, ruined my card today, I needed Grimsby Town and CB and when he got onto talking about Milenkovic I thought I'd got a winner, but no.Temps nearly got me a bonus line but both "top bins" and " break the lines" didn't show up so onto next week.

I did enjoy how defensive he became when presented with "Forest have won at Anfield, something your side couldn't even manage" Apparently Liverpool were better than Brazil in those days.

Absolutely gutted when he didn't mention him being a defender, as soon as he started talking about Milenkovich I thought my full house was gonna come up. He went nice and early with "Cloughie always used to say to me".

I was very much consoled when Gaz went completely AWOL and disappeared without anyone seeing him like some ninja, that was hilarious.

Looking forward to this one as commentators are always the best pundits and guests because they genuinely watch football for a living and will have huge note taking and info on each game, each player, etc etc.

Not like your bog standard ex-player Punditry drivel which consists of watching Man United v Liverpool then deciding that Forest "are going to struggle" or watching Arsenal v Spurs and deciding that they "worry" for Fulham this season.

The Premier League commentators are probably the 2nd most informed about every team in the division behind the clubs themselves.

Just watched it. Good pod.

Guy Mowbray is knowledgeable and doesn't try to fake knowledge. He thinks we can finish tenth!

York City fan so not a big 6 puppet.


Forest are magic on and off the pitch!

Fletch, I never doubted Nuno so no not all of us. But I’m very glad that Nuno is rightfully getting plaudits in the newest Forest Focus pod.
