BladesPod: Beating West Brom | Sheffield derby preview

[Beans]

Evening S2!

Couldn't not do a podcast after that win on Saturday evening, and here it is! Blades Analytics and I talk through the game in some detail, and then also preview next week's game with the other lot.

Includes discussion of our brilliant defending (02:25), Kieran Dowell (12:25), squad depth and rotation (15:30), what to expect from the derby (33:30), and the lineup that we’d go with (43:06). Finally, a quick prediction of the game (53:19).

Thanks as always for listening, and UTB!

Another very listenable blog chaps.......but Ben and Jay, c'mon, a draw?!?! Against them?!!!

As you so correctly said, we're living through something special, all we can hope for is that it continues for at least a decade, maybe two, even three!

Good work lads, an essential must read on the forum UTB

A great listen Beans and Blades Analytics as always.

Do I get a prize for spotting your second mistake however....? Deano saved at the death from Montero, not Gayle

I read this article the other day (which is some amazing work) and it reminded me just how rare it is for the away team to win (only happened 31 times in 130 derbies), so I went slightly conservative on that - happy to be wrong though

Crap. Maybe I should start scripting these to cut down on such basic errors

How can you come out with all those complicated stats, then say we are 10 points clear of 7th!

I built in an assumption that Derby would win their game in hand on Monday night and only be 10 points behind, happy to have jinxed them

Great listen again lads. Great company running the Percy Pud route this morning.
