Lewis Dunwoody has apparently joined Town this weekend. From Barrow where he was head of Performance & Analysis. cumbriacrack.com/2024/01/23/barrow-appoint-new-first-team-performance-analyst/Odd there's nothing on htafc.com about his appointment and nobody seems to have disappeared from the Technical Staff page (where he hasn't appeared!) - I'm assuming he wouldn't leave the position at Barrow for anything other than another leadership role. Surely thats worthy of a comment from the club? |

I could be the new performance analyst: we are too negative, lack pace in defence, control in midfield, & the strikers are often isolated.
I start monday.

In the interests of brevity, my *elevator pitch for the role. Shite with occasional glimpses of promise. (* I’m not a Consultant, that’s not my normal language) |

Sounds like there's been a back room inquest...maybe a bit of blame game going on....any more heads to roll, like on the fitness/coaching side..?

It’s been obvious Darren needs some help analysing the performances for a while. Think Lewis can leave his big calculator at home.

Maybe nothing on official site because it’s shite. Hopefully Nagle can get that improved as well

Backroom staff changes are incredibly common, and often don't carry any form of announcement. It's a high turnover industry and you only really hear about it if it's a ''main'' coach or personnel for example, DoF, a first team coach, assistant manager, U21 manager etc. You could probably name some of the backroom staff both in the performance, scouting and coaching structures of the club who've been there for the last 4/5 years and most wouldn't of heard of them, as well as any who had joined in the last 12 months with the same outcome.
If he was head of performance analysis at Barrow it's entirely plausible he's joined us in ''just'' a performance analyst capacity. It's still a move up the divisions and will have a greater budget, facilities and capacity to work with. EDIT: a linkedin search indicates he has just joined as a performance analyst for the first team, where he will be one of about 4/5.
Nothing to read into. I'd expect the staff page to be updated within the next 2-5 working business years.

Why would we need a performance analyst? surely the manager should do that.Appointing a man to help the manager means we are keeping the failure.

Other changes to management going on will defo be announced. |

When people in this role have left Town to Copenhagen or Man City over the last couple of years, that has been in the specialist training press too. Town haven't even added his name to the Analysis team, never mind revealed his actual position/title >> www.htafc.com/matches/technical-staff/ |

Why the heck do we need ALL this back room staff?  So that we win more games. Like play off final penalty shoot outs, Chris Lowe, "I'd spoken to Jansen (Moreno, then analyst at Town, now in a role with Gibraltar FA) before and he said to me that the keeper dives early, and if he does that today you will see which corner he chooses and just pick the other one, and that's what he did. He jumped too early for me and I've just seen; he chose the right corner and I hit it in the left". |

'Don't shoot from outside the box, statistics show that you have only a 10% chance of scoring if you shoot from outside the box. Pass it into the six yard box, statistics show you have a 90% chance of scoring if you pass it into the six yard box'. 'But boss I can't pass'. 'Doesn't matter, statistics show that you have a 30% success rate with your passes. If you pass it into the six yard box we've still got a better chance of scoring'. 'Yes but boss that's boring for the fans'. 'Who gives a shit, it's not about the fans'. |

We have thousands of Performance & Analysts who can tell KN that DM performance's are well below what's required.

Players wear a 'body computer' which after the game gets plugged in to a computer. The downloaded data is then analysed, compared and put in a report, along with his team mates. Heart rate, blood pressure, distances run etc etc... In addition global statistical data is then compared, and targets set...differences discussed, action plans made...training program ammended... It's definitely rocket science.
My boss used to call it 'analysis paralisis'...too much data, too many targets and not enough what I'd call 'general game management'..
of course the medical teams trying to produce 'peak performance' need data, and comparisons to measure against...and to get improvement.
I personally found 3 pints in the pub before trudging up to Dryclough Rec on cold Sunday in Novemeber was the perfect pre match preparation for me, semi pissed...and ready for anything..

It's all well and good, but the data led approach and paralysis by analysis has taken the flair away from the game. Look at Jack Grealish. He's fairly anonymous (but no doubt still hugely effective) in the Citeh team, unrecognisable from the Villa star man. |
