but player stats and insights fall under Dean Austin's remit
but player stats and insights fall under Dean Austin's remitIm not sticking up for Dr Claire but clearly a very clever person with an impressive CV, but is allowed to be criticised in her role.
Her appointment allways makes me think of Money ball and trying to win games with stats and player insights.
Why are people so desperate for no criticism to be levelled at her? Not by any means saying if she wasn't here we'd be flying and in the play off places but I don't see why its viewed as unacceptable to ask questions of her role because she's a woman.
We've been told part of her role is implementing a new coaching structure. That structure has been heavily criticised both in terms of the structure and the personal recruited. What makes her above reproach when she was involved in changes many see as an abject failure.
Similarly we've been told she's involved in player recruitment to ensure we bring in the 'right' type of player. There's been a lot of criticism of the recruitment, and all sorts of anger directed at the recruitment team for wasting millions but again we can't question her role in it? One thing that has been specifically criticised with some of our signings is their attitude, that's specifically a thing this role is supposed to have improved.
Not saying she's to blame or bad at her job but it baffles me that for some reason people are getting upset that questions are being asked.

She not overseeing on field activityShe worked for the premier league as Coach development and Elite development.
She's over seeing on field activity inc coaching what would include sport science and phycology
Hence why we have been seeing more player development of off field activities like cooking and coaching
but player stats and insights fall under Dean Austin's remit
yes and the data analyst who deals with stats works for himIsn't he head of recruitment ?
I wonder if club employees including players are as confused as we are, too many cooks and all that.Isn't he head of recruitment ?
We?I wonder if club employees including players are as confused as we are, too many cooks and all that.
Whatever she is overseeing, it appears not be resulting in any improvements.She not overseeing on field activity
mate you wait to you see how many staff even a middling PL hasI wonder if club employees including players are as confused as we are, too many cooks and all that.
Excluding you, of course,

the only thing that confuses me is we actually lack a SD/DOF which is important in these types of structure
Agreed . If that person had been in place "maybe" some of the pressure could've been taken off Robins given things that have happened in his private lifethe only thing that confuses me is we actually lack a SD/DOF which is important in these types of structure
Some of the criticism of her is clearly gendered though. The appointment of a former Premier League executive to oversee sports science at the club should hardly be considered a controversial appointment, but people are still questioning her credentials. There’s an inherent mistrust and doubt about her role not only because it’s coincided with a dip in form, but also because she’s a woman working in a business that almost always hires men. I’m not saying that’s the world’s greatest injustice, nor am I saying she should be immune from criticism over the things she controls, but I don’t thing you can totally ignore that aspect either.
Probably just because he's the most experienced player in the squad. Although it should've been Sheaf really.
It's all computer based these days, don't you know.All that pad Thai slowing them dow ?
This is literally how most modern elite clubs workIt feels like high level micro managing. Hard for any established coach to work under.

Another page of posts on her and no one has given a satisfactory answer.Explain to me what she does on a day to day basis then.
Isn’t it usually pretty random who they send out? Bidwell is also one of the most senior players at the club.Fucks sake just made the mistake of seeing the clubs twitter feed and now I’m raging again. Fuck Rhys Carr firstly. But mainly putting Bidwell out to do the press. WTF? Have none of the actual players who are likely to play got the bollocks?
What is going on at that place. Absolute shambles.

it's the role most clubs go for so if they want to work they need to take the role offeredI guess we should expect a less experienced new manger. Not from the old guard of manger and assistant.
You never hear anything from the blue tracksuit brigade either (there's enough of them) perhaps happy to hide away stealing a living.Fucks sake just made the mistake of seeing the clubs twitter feed and now I’m raging again.

I can't possibly think why they'd put the most experienced squad member who is established at the club and generally well liked and respected by the fans out to do the first press conference post MR.Fucks sake just made the mistake of seeing the clubs twitter feed and now I’m raging again.

Did you want all 20+ of them to turn up?Because everyone else is a pussy?
Im sure he’s been put out as apparently the closest thing we’ve got to a leader. Funny the actual leader hasn’t shown his face though?
On the list of shambles we’ve endured over the past decade I don’t think it ranks that high tbhIt’s usually someone who is fit to play in the game.
