Surprised by the indifference to Matt Mills as a player. Better than our current CBs imo.

Maybe but his lack of discipline made him a liability.

Kinda supports my hypothesis.

As does my view that I'd take any of our current CBs over the cockend.

3 more replies and we have 50 - then I'll do pretty graphs an everything.

Not sure when though as I won't have much time until this time next week

[melonhead]

not good enough

[Davezk]

What are you going to plot as your graphs?

[PistolPete]

What are you going to plot as your graphs?

Glad you asked.

My supposition was that the same people that hate Federici hate Guthrie; it is basically the idea that 'if you make lots of money doing something I'd do for free then you better be humble about it'. I also believe that if you don't like someone you are more likely to think they play badly too.

I considered adding non Reading players and even non footballers such as Kevin Pietersen; I imagine people that hate Pietersen also hate Guthrie.

Federici is there because for some reason (because he said he wanted to play at a higher level and not necessarily for Reading?) people dislike him.

Tabb was there as a kind of control - everyone loved Tabby didn't they?! Mills was obvious, he stuck his finger up at some lovely fans who wouldn't say boo to a goose...

I thought back to the 'Big watch and bumper book of tactics' period when 'Bodgers' was here and wondered if the same people that hated him for having a flashy watch also hate Guthrie for having a flashy/sh1t haircut?

Pog? Well he's on huge wages...and he's Russian. Neither thing particularly appeals to the english (especially Reading) football fan right now!

So... what data would you like analysed?

I honestly haven't thought of the best way to display the results or which results to analyse. Please do help me!

Dump all the results in Excel and look for patterns, where people who answered the same on one answered the same on another, or different on another etc.

then force the data to fit with your pre-ordained conclusions.

That's what the pros do. See Coalition Central for guidance.

[snowball]and if the data doesn't fit your conclusions, remove some of the sample until it does or just get new data that will[snowball/]

And I'll collate the data on the plane tonight...
