Pardon my ignorance but is this Plymouth Argyle as in playing on grass or Plymouth Argyle as in playing in pre-pubescent boys bedrooms?

He's been in the role for 4 years, under 3 different managers.
If he wasn't any good at his job then don't you think he would have been found out by now?
If you're good enough you're old enough and all that.

Pretty sure it is Paris Cowan Hall, who signed under Fletch from Woking and then moved on to Wycombe.
Cheers for the link, good read.
I knew of Matt from old Football Manager forums from back when Peter Reid was manager and we'd talk about Argyle now and then (before I was on Pasoti) and he always seemed to know what he was talking about and have a genuine passion for football and Argyle.
I knew he was the analyst for Argyle but it's really interesting to see how he got the job. He's clearly good at it. I know at one point he had an account on Pasoti but I guess it's best for him if he doesnt use it any more!

Where have I had any opinion as to whether he's any good. As the article frequently mentions Football Manager (a computer game I believe) I was merely asking if this was relating to the real world Argyle. I did say I was ignorant to the relevance of his position. Is that okay with you?
I have often wondered whether, with the help of an analyst, goalkeepers should have a good chance of going the right way to save a penalty.
Surely, one of his tasks should be to analyse penalties taken by our opponents. It may be, for example, that some penalty takers, especially at this level, prefer to go right or left or even slam it down the middle.
This information should be helpful for a goalkeeper and give him some idea of how to react and the opportunity to practice in the week preceding a match.
Such small details could have significant positive effects during the course of a season.

Think i had a few conversations with him on here back along, always seemed very knowledgeable......
Can't be that good on FM though, everyone knows if you're doubtful about a managerial move you start a new save slot so you can go back.....

Luke talks about this in the Luton programme, and basically all he has done over the years gas not really paid off when facing penalties. Think its a case of pot luck was the conclusion.
Apologies for taking your quote the wrong way.Ade the green":2hjq3twx said:
