Just been seen JCH scored a brace for posh the other day, and it made me think about other players excelling who seemed to look shit for us. Then rather than trying to make players fit the system why not make the system fit the players, which we have seemed to done now but not the past.
A couple of players I can think of from recent memory are JCH, Tyler Walker, Bakayoko, Giles and Kent
I’m sure I recall McAllister saying something along the lines of building a team around David Pipe one nightmarish season at the time when the club had hardly any players….geeezus
In the case of Walker and Harris, the majority of their goals have been in Lg1 and 2. Stats suggest that they are not quite good enough for Championship football, I don't believe it is the system for these two to use them as an example.
JCH had plenty of chances to score but fluffed nearly all of them, maybe he woke up to realise what a charmed life the footballers have and tried a bit harder !

This is something I have been pondering to do, but just haven't had the free time.
Is there differing rating ranges between players and opponents where forwards will score, defender and goalkeepers will let in less goal, clean sheets etc
We've got the tools to attempt to try to measure this.

I didn't mind JCH but could have and probably should have been the type of player Morris is for Luton..He was a horrible player the other week but one you would have in your side.
