Rabinho Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Dominic Hyam at Coventry could be worth a look. Inauspicious start to his career but he’s been one of their better performers this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch allot of championship football at the moment and come across Scottish centre backs semi regularly, seen a thread on twitter that I found interesting. It has data on championship defenders under the age of 24, who have played more than 900 minutes. Harry Souttar compares very favourably which is a shame, I watched him a couple of weeks ago for Stoke and he did look very good. Other plays to note are Tom McIntyre and Stephen McKenna, McIntyre shows up well in both the defensive actions and for aerial prowess, McKenna has good completion rates in both but doesn't seem to do many. McIntyre also shows up well for interceptions, McKenna looking pretty poor at them. One thing I was surprised at was the amount of progressive runs that McKenna does, with McIntyre playing as the LCB in a back 3/5 I thought he would've had better passing metrics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 McKenna has always been pretty keen to bring the ball out from the back. His passing isn't the best but he always likes to stride forward and try to make things happen.It's worth remembering that McIntyre is playing for a team which is miles better - if you swapped them over then I feel like McKenna would have the better numbers in a lot of those categories. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying, but with McKenna playing for a worse team, and coming under more defensive pressure I thought his data would back that up, Forrest must come under more attacks than Reading and yet it reads like McIntyre is the busier defender. Whereas with McIntyre playing for a better team, who do well for possession I'd have thought his ball progression would've been better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know enough about how both sides play, but could it be the case of different roles in different teams bringing different results? This is all CBs for Forest/Reading using just the "input" metrics used... Once you adjust for possession the CBs seem to split into 2. Both sides have 2 who do far more than the 3rd. Do they both play with one "aggressive" CB who comes into midfield to pick up interceptions while the other sits? Teams maybe target McIntyre more in the air than McKenna because they believe McKenna is strong there/target the other side of the defence because they think its the weaker side? McKenna by far the strongest in terms of success, which maybe backs that up. If you looked at these figures, and were away to play Forest, what CBs would you attack?

Scumjob Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Very interesting stats. McIntyre certainly looks worth a closer look by Clark at some point before or after the Euros. Didn't someone claim Souttar is still somehow eligible as well? I can't remember (or think) how mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone claim Souttar is still somehow eligible as well? I can't remember (or think) how mind.Because he's had less than 4 full Aus caps before turning 21, Souttar can still change back but would have to refuse any future call ups from Aus for two years to do so. He's not going to do that (he switched to them because Scotland had ignored him for 2 years). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Clark could I'm sure play the "Sorry about before, Strachan thought you were too tall to be eligible, but how'd you feel about playing with your brother for Scotland?" card... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scumjob Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56223954 Interesting article on Hendry. Apparently Wolves, Burnley and Werder Bremen with eyes on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Apparently we have a young CB at Fulham who has represented for the U19s - Ibane Bowat. Arsenal and Everton allegedly interested. https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-arsenal-west-ham-everton-in-transfer-talks-with-ibane-bowat Anyone seen him play? Will no doubt end up representing England should he break through at any of the clubs linked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Cooper out injured by the looks of things. A massive blow as he is second in the PL for blocks, fourth for interceptions and ninth for tackles across all position groups. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
