Perhaps you get more wrong than right on your forecasts ….. across a variety of subjects . Fair play to you accepting you lost the wager…. You topped it up. Well done and congratulations to Colin C vis via Doncaster Academy

Well done and congratulations to Colin C vis via Doncaster Academy From what I’ve seen it’s more that folk ignore when Gaz gets something right but like to pile on when he gets something wrong.

Well done and congratulations to Colin C vis via Doncaster Academy From what I’ve seen it’s more that folk ignore when Gaz gets something right but like to pile on when he gets something wrong.From what I've seen it's more a case that GazLaz uses the rafts of data and statistics at his disposal to make sweeping statements and definitive conclusions about players.Mostly negative ones over the course of this season.Fortunately, football doesn't work like that and I'm extremely glad it doesn't.Anyway, fair play to GazLaz for stepping up to the plate regarding the outcome of the 'wager', and to ColinC for having the balls and the belief to lay the wager in the first place, and to match GazLaz's contribution despite winning the bet.
The thing is Gazlaz looks at things dispassionately for his job whereas most fans look at it as a fan first and foremost.Hat I would like to know from Gazlaz is how are chances against MK Dons have narrowed over the last 20 odd games. We have a far better chance than earlier in the season of turning them over now. Even though we did beat them at home.
Let’s hope this small ‘donation’ helps us to produce ‘our own’ Joe Ironside.For me this was never intended to be a Colin C vs GAzLaz ‘choice’ between forum contributors.Neither was it ‘blind faith’ vs stats.It was about that ‘gut feeling’ you have as a supporter when the odds don’t look to be in ‘your favour’ as your team is floundering & all the ‘forecasts’ about players & the manager are brought into doubt. It’s so easy to go with the flow of data showing how unlikely it will be (we’re talking January) to reach the top ten place when your club lies 20th in position. ‘Easy’ to doubt Joe Ironside ever reaching 20 league goals for the first time in his career whether that be pens or otherwise.I’ve never studied a spread sheet & in doing so then felt comfortable in ‘dissing’ a player due to said stats.I watch a player who game after game sweats blood for the shirt.Call me ‘old fashioned’.I’ll settle with that.As for ‘gut feelings’ idler, what are yours ‘saying to you’? I hope you take comfort from the stats GazLaz has provided for you. I know your question wasn’t addressed to me so forgive for interceding.This ‘gut’ of mine tells me we will be watching League 1 football next season……for what it’s worth.
Thanks Gaz. It’s nice to get a feel for how things are going.

Past 3 months or so excepted, there hasn't exactly been much to be positive about on a player front for a few years now.

Sometimes hope and expectation can cloud judgement it we always know that it is possible to defy the odds. Otherwise why would we follow the Rovers for decades after what we have been through.

Never have any interest in other peoples opinions or conclusions. That’s just a ridiculous thing to do.
Question for all the data haters - if it’s such nonsense, why does every football club in the country rely on it?
