Now that WorldfootballR is no more (😭) where best to get individual shot data?

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Nowhere near good enough, the sort of performance that sends out alarm bells. Ten minutes of pressure and we crumble - lots to be concerned about. Previously have accepted we have League One players having to play up, but failing to do anything of note tonight is a big problem #OUFC

Yup! The small bit I’ve seen is poor from both in the final third. Now is the chance to get the away win…fancy Dale/Edwards to change it (hopefully!)

I’ve only watched the last 10mins of that half, but it looks poor from both teams? Certainly something in it for us if we can get some supply out wide #OUFC

Peterborough now in an interesting situation with Poku. *I think* OOC in the summer, but now requires a hamstring operation. Peterborough no doubt relying on a January auction

Was going to watch Currie but he doesn’t look to be in the Orient squad? Injury? Possible recall? Will give Lincoln or Walsall a watch instead #OUFC

Very good at intercepting high and being direct! Certainly has more influence and value playing through the middle rather than wide, imo

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

I don’t think it is binary. I just feel we need a more passy type that can take the ball on the half turn under pressure - if we can find someone who can do both, great!

Brannagan can obviously play there, but you lose some of his strengths. Although in the short term I think: El Mizouni // Brannagan // Goodrham Is the way to go with the midfield

Listening to this weeks The Dub…with the problem we have with the #6 would it be better to have a passing profile in that position rather than a destroyer? We struggle to progress through the midfield - maybe someone who enables us to play out? #OUFC

Just saw the corner we conceded from…looks like a well run routine to me? Phillips loses his man but Millwall make good use of blockers and cause some chaos at the back post #OUFC

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Both Phillips and Placheta are squad players, imo. Not sure how long either will last playing 60mins+ twice a week. Encouraging re: Goodwin and Dale!

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Didn’t watch today due to work, how was it? On the face of it, a reasonable result against one of the in form teams in the league. Another shot/goal for Goodrham off a carry - was he improved playing through the middle again? #OUFC

Like most players for teams our size, they have limitations. The last few games have seen them facing their own goal too much which we can probably also look toward the midfield. We gained results prior to Nelson coming in, so not sure that the lone cause

I don’t think we go into Middlesbrough/Sheffield United expecting to pick up points, but the defending on display has been a big concern should we carry it into other matches #OUFC

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Unfortunately Sheffield United haven’t had to do much to be 2-0 up here. A poor set piece to concede then a mess on the second. Asking some League One players to make a big jump each week #OUFC

Seems like the new Head of Recruitment is all but confirmed. Some nice additions at Wycombe from non-league, plus loans (another Ipswich link!).

There’s a load of stuff in there from event data to transfermarkt/fbref etc. I haven’t added in a while - hopefully I will add some stuff in the coming weeks. As the football analytics community seems to have shifted here, hopefully this is of help to someone!

Thorniley might remain through January and play a part…but we’ve hardly seen him for 12months+. Ebiowei was a gamble, but when you have a winger injury crisis and still play as little as he has 🤷‍♂️

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Feels a bit flakey (although I prefer Goodrham through the middle!) probably need someone with the defensive ability of Vaulks but the passing of mceachran (a unicorn, basically)

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Yeah have to keep that in mind! Would add Thorniley and Ebiowei into the mix also

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Yeah…interesting that Scarlett and Ebiowei arrived in similar situations (3 underwhelming loans) and how different their time with us has been so far

Looking through the #OUFC squad usage. Suspect we will see a few moved out come January

Tbh, it’s probably the case with most of the league. We’ve competed better against teams with more resources. Feel like most folk are willing to have it as a one off - if it continues there’s a problem

They still had Morris and Hackney out. On a different planet to us

Oxford Analytics @analyticsoxford.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

The lack of wide options has thrown us. Goodrham is best through the middle (the assist yesterday), but is played wide. Not sure we can rely on McEachran or Vaulks as a single pivot - Rodrigues feels like a luxury atm.
