Moneyball

Has anybody else read the book, watched the film?
I can't help but feel that SD has bought in to some part of this.
His philosophy towards players would appear to be that he see's value in players that others don't.

Yep I've watched it - decent film

I don't think Dyche is a slave to statistics - I think he uses them along side a number of other things to decide which players he wants.

Attitude
No ego
Fitting into framework
Etc

I watched Moneyball on a long-haul flight a year or so ago. Fantastic film - really enjoyed it. Seem to remember a thread about it a year back. There was discussion whether such a strategy could work in football.

Just reminded me to watch that film, I've kept intending to. I'm watching now to draw up my Dyche conclusions

Brentford operate with the system and seem to be doing alright with it

A player like Westwood is sort of my point

What Dyche values, over and above most managers, is team spirit. He will not accept a player, however talented, who will upset his teammates.

Lets face it he took a big chance on Joey I would say .
