@thatchersend Availability heuristic bias - if people think someone is likely to win a vote - they are more likely to vote for them. Self fulfilling prophecy.
@implausibleblog@Rylan Classic availability heuristic bias, it’s driving society in a very scary way.
@Rylan took “facts” available to him through repeated consistent media noise, without considering the need for data or evidence, before repeating (with passion) on live tv. Whether correct or not.
@TouchlineX This is not Manchester United. And I don’t mean the success - that wasn’t always there. I mean the passion and heart and excitement. Aside from the name and OT, this is a dire club with a broken team from multiple managers. It needs an extreme solution. Grimsby didn’t fear them.
@_joshuahemmings Delighted I predicted this one wrong, hopefully now we can climb the table based on a good defence - I still think we’ll lack goals so that defence is going to be crucial.
Great fight last night but…no goals.
Only 2 in 4 league matches, 1 from open play. Unless we score 1.7 to 2 goals a game we’re not getting automatic & at least 1.5 per game to make the playoffs. Currently we’re 0.5 per game - thoughts? @_joshuahemmings@charlie_hayne96
@1MichaelWillett The critical issue for Rovers is goals, just 2 in 4 league matches & only 1 from open play. We can play fantastic every week but unless we score 1.7 to 2 goals a game we’re not getting automatic & need at least 1.5 per game to make the playoffs. Currently we’re 0.5 per game
@_joshuahemmings Promise could be exceptional as the foil to a true goal scorer, but as it is it doesn’t work. 2 goals in 5 matches - and 1 of those a penalty. Unless we solve that problem “performances” won’t be enough. The squad we have might work hard to finish around 16th.
@_joshuahemmings …and darker thoughts, we don’t get out of the national league first time around, next time. It’s a totally different ball game to 10 years ago. 43 games to keep this football club relevant?
@_joshuahemmings Long way to go yet - but historically losing your opening 3 games is a fairly good indicator for the season ahead. I’ve gone from “we’ll finish 2nd” to “I’ll take top half” inside a fortnight…and
