Never mind the results, feel the stats

Is anyone actually saying results don't matter?

I've heard people say statistics don't matter, which is also ridiculous. After all goals are a statistic, as are wins and points...

I think the closest anyone's come to saying "results don't matter" is the owners' recent post about results not reflecting performances due to bad luck, which IMO is an extremely high risk piece of analysis. If you're 100% right, great, if you're even a little bit wrong it can lead to going into next season with a fatally flawed team, a possibility I'm honestly very concerned about.

Good post
The comments regarding stats suggesting it was largely bad luck that was to blame for our predicament were worrying. It looks like whoever is making recruitment decisions is protecting their position

The players who are making and scoring all those goals have had enough
They know the truth and so do we
