Quote: Tee Man "The numbers show for each coach the "no. of games", "the points difference for these games", and finally "the average points difference per game".
So P Cooke was the coach for 11 games, the points diffential was -207 and the average points diffential per game was -18.8.
P Cooke 11 -207 -18.8
C Hall 1 -18 -18.0
T Miller 3 -52 -17.3
G Thornton 8 -292 -36.5
Total 23 -569 -24.7
Can anyone help to expain why these figures are like this?'"
Explain them, no. But in fairness only one of those set of stats has any real relevance.
Paul Cooke was in charge last season and was party to the recruitment pre-Season. For me his stats are valid,
his team effectively.
The Carl Hall and Tony Miller stats are pretty meaningless considering the sample size and the position the Club was in at the time.
With regard to Gary Thornton, and has been pointed out, he joined a Club in turmoil and a set of players whose confidence would have been at an all-time low. Can he be fairly judged on those fixtures alone, probably not.
I will reserve judgement until we are a couple of months into the new season.
