Pretty crappy week in general really...

[SkStu]

I know you’ve talked about how you’ve arbitrarily selected numbers to see if people have been good/bad… from my equally arbitrary perspective, 7.5 does seem a fairly high bar for “good”… is there any way to gauge from the site you use what the usual good, great, “star man” ratings are?

Anyway, whatever about that, it’s a sterling service you are providing!

[pineapple stu]

There's a chart on their site which shows the percentages of players getting each rating. It doesn't quite take the cut-offs I have, but you can estimate that maybe 15% of players will get a 7.5 or higher (I'm assuming more players score 7.0-7.5 than score 7.5-8.0 - standard bell curve distribution) and possibly a similar amount will score under 6.3. I don't know how that chart factors in late subs because of course someone coming on with five minutes to go is going to do well to move much beyond the starting point of 6.0, and there's plenty of late subs. I don't count subs in the "bad weeks" for that reason

Of course the real reason I went with those bands is it was fewer players so less work

Reading 2-3 Shrewsbury - Sobowale 6.1 (last 10 only), O'Brien an unused sub

SPL
Motherwell 1-3 Celtic - Casey 6.7, Blaney 5.8 (injury time only - Motherwell conceded twice in that time of course), Scales 7.3, Idah 8.1 (second half only - but scored twice. Pipped for man of the match though by Johnston, who got the same rating)
Hibs 2-1 Dundee - Shaughnessy 6.3, Costelloe 6.2 (taken off at half-time)
Killie 2-0 Aberdeen - Ndaba 8.1 (and scored), McGrath 7.3, Hayes and Phillips unused subs
St Mirren 2-0 St Johnstone - Carey 6.2
Ross County 3-2 Livi - Brown 6.1 (last 5 only)

Other leagues
Mechelen 3-0 Kortrijk - Afolabi 5.9 (taken off before the hour - though he did start at least)
Molenbeek 1-1 Leuven - Adaramola 7.5
Excelsior 1-2 Vitesse - Parrott 6.6
Zwolle 1-7 PSV - MacNulty 6.3 (came off with 20 to go; PSV scored another three after that)
Metz 1-2 Lyon - O'Brien 7.0
Genoa 2-0 Udinese - Ebosele 6.3 (second half only - Udinese went down to ten men three minutes later, which can't have helped)

So very good weeks (8.5+) for Kelleher (may as well call out performances like that one!), Browne
Good weeks (7.5+) for Ogbene, Johnstone (impressive achievement for a 20-minute cameo), Keane, Goodrham, O'Neill, Idah, Ndaba, Adaramola
Bad weeks (<6.3) for O'Shea, Azaz, Bazunu (twice), Smallbone (twice), Obafemi, Negru, Adeeko, Kilkenny, Graydon, Costelloe, Afolabi
And very bad weeks (<5.5) for Omobamidele (don't normally include subs here, but he got the whole second half, so I suppose similar to playing badly and being taken off at half-time)

[MancIrishWolf]

Absolutely brilliant analysis, Stu! Love reading this every week. Sincerely appreciated!

[pineapple stu]

Cheers Manc!

Yep, I think it can add to the player threads - it's great when they bump with (mostly) positive news, but it feels this adds a wider dimension across the board

And I think the ratings do tend to be quite reasonable - Ogbene and Kelleher this week for example. So Omobamidele getting a 5.4 off the bench is a worry - looks like that move to Forest is looking a bad one after all, despite his brief flurry of starts. Collins got a couple of similar ratings and was dropped

[MancIrishWolf]

Where are the ratings from? Quality the depth of information. Especially at lower level. Noticed we had a lot hooked at half time this weekend like Kilkenny (although good to see Lawal getting the assist from midfield). Hopefully Omo is a blip. Confidence looks low though. Nice one once again.

[pineapple stu]

Whoscored.com. So here's the Exeter v Fleetwood game for example. Within that, you can drill down to what it reckons were the individual key passes made by each player and other items like that.

Of course, more data doesn't necessarily mean it's correct, but I haven't seen anything that materially disagrees with comments on here on games.

[pineapple stu]

Another update so. More bad than good this week.

[Eirambler]

Some weekend for Irish goals in England, I think we're up at 17 across the top four English divisions (albeit none so far in the Prem). McGrath scored in the Scottish Cup also.

No ratings for the Belgian relegation play-off phase, so no more info on Afolabi or Adaramola. Neither started, but both came on with about 20 to go



That means very good weeks (8.5+) for no-one unfortunately
Good weeks (7.5+) for Szmodics, Dunne, O'Leary, Brady, Connell, O'Neill, MacNulty
Bad weeks (<6.3) for Omobamidele, Hodge, Bazunu, Dunne, Armstrong, Stevens, Szmodics, Obafemi, Lawal, Omochere, Lonergan, Graydon, O'Keeffe, Sobowale, Rafferty, Keena, Shaughnessy, Costelloe, MacNulty
And very bad weeks (<5.5) for O'Shea

[tetsujin1979]

Harsh on MacNulty. Scored his first senior goal, and PEC Zwolle won. He did get booked, however, and conceded once

[pineapple stu]

He got 7.7 for that game though?

6.1 was for the hammering against Utrecht
