I watched the other game and although we won comfortably no one was really busting a gut which was understandable for a friendly. Tbh I've never considered Anderson's effort to be in question but his overall body language and manner gives off a very negative vibe imo.

In January, the Brentford B-team signed 18-year-old Swedish winger Henrik Johansson, Garrincha's grandson, from Halmstads. Rowan discussed the player with Smartodds' Swedish football analyst and used him to gather information on the player to inform their decision.

While Brentford's approach is informed by numbers, it does not displace human judgement or scouting. "Data is a big part of the recruitment process," Ankersen says.

Here Numbnuts is the full quote, as you can see data analysis is a major part of their transfer policy.
They don’t sign a player without it.
Bad night for you my little troll.
My ego is very firmly in check. I see it as the size of England when, in reality, it should be viewed as the size of Europe.
Bend it however you want Numbnuts, the below statement is very clear data drives recruitment process backed up by scouting reports which btw will include data analysis.9898 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 8:02 amI shouldn't really get distracted by you, but I will humour you one more time.Towie wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 11:41 pm “When signing players, Brentford have another unusual aide: Smartodds, Benham's company, which provides statistical research to gamblers.

You stated: 'Ffs Brentford base their whole transfer policy on stats'
Now that article states that Brentford have 25 scout reports for players they sign. A person representing Brentford, physically goes and watches the player 25 times before signing him. Is that clear?
That means the statement you wrote about Brentford base their whole transfer policy on stats is absolute rubbish. Nonsense. #
They use human opinion on 25 separate occasions before signing a player. That means their transfer policy is far, far more human opinion based than any other club.
Tell me another club who use human opinion more than Brentford when signing a player?
