Pelupessy


Recommended Posts

Pivotal in the second goal today. He’s never going to stand out as a player but seems disciplined and does some simple tasks for the team.

 

If he has offers from this league then someone obviously thinks so. 

 

Wouldn’t mind him in league one either as long as it doesn’t stop some of the younger players getting a game.

We pick up more points when Pelupessy and Rhodes are in the team. 

A midfielder who knows the midfield role and a striker who knows the striker role. 

Square pegs and all that.

lol

I certainly agree that we can't afford not to play JR!!

It's like being in a time warp reading these threads; go back 10 years and exactly the same debate was had about James O'Connor.  He was derided by most, but the team was more successful when he played than when he didn't.  Makes you think that the team managers might know more about football than the fans.  😆

I don't know SO because there are too many other variables.

 

You above all people on here will understand that (and I'm not being facetious.)

 

His strengths/weaknesses have been done to death but for the most part, imo, he does little but shadow BB, leaving us with what is, in effect, a physically very frail, one man, CM.

 

 

Aye, I completely get what you're getting at, lots of variables to control, too many to control.

 

But that said, we've got about 15 points of data in both the "played" and "not played" condition, which is the only thing we can control for. And with that, we have a huge difference in points won. It's not 0.1 points, or a quarter of a point... twice as many points per game. Over a season it's the difference between getting 32 points and 64 points. Bottom and play-off chasers.

 

I'm not saying he's the only factor, of course not. But when you have an effect that powerful... across a large sample size... it does suggest that quite a lot of that extraneous "noise" can be ignored. 

 

Whether it's because he's the Championship version or Kante, or just so crap that everyone else puts in that extra 20% to compensate and that gets us the win, literally the only conclusion I think you can come to given that facts is that Pelupessy starting games manages to be hugely beneficial to us and gets us more points. It can't be ignored because it isn't even marginal.

 

0.70 points per game without

1.41 points per game with

 

It's nuts, because I don't really rate him either, but I cannot ignore such a bizarre yet powerful statistic. I would play him every game between now and the end of the season.

Roy Keane ain't he.  Demands that extra 20% from the players. 

 

This or he is as you say the championship Kante.

 

Haters!!!  cast your votes now.

 

lol

I don’t believe in football stats, I think they mislead - I judge on what I believe is a good performance that I’ve witnessed and I believe that I’ve witnessed good performances by Pelupessy.

Crikey mate!

 

Who'd a thunk it!!

 

But pragmatically, you know very well that the data proves nothing whatsoever with so many factors to take into consideration.

This season, we've won twice as many points per game that Pelupessy has started in vs those he hasn't started.

 

Twice as many points.

 

How do we explain that?


He’s an decent player who gels well with Bannan.
