Indeed, long may the progression continue.

In terms of Ade's form being lucky amongst other things you say have the element of fortune in them..... would you say it was unlucky for Tim that Soldado was poor on the ball vs Hull? it was unlucky for Soldado he was poor on the ball? it was lucky for Hull he was poor on the ball? or just that he was poor on the ball and it attributed to our inability to score.

Luck is just an emotional response using hindsight to attribute reasoning to a situation where one defies the odds one way or another.

Someone missing a penalty is considered good luck for the team who benefit from the miss because the odds are against them, yet bad luck isn't attributed to the penalty misser because they did not have what it took to score.

Either both are 'luck' or neither. Either everything is 'luck' or nothing is.

I'm not sure I subscribe entirely to that theory. But I am also not suggesting everything that has gone right for Sherwood is luck and wrong for AVB was bad luck.

But, like that article, I do think Fortune has been fairly kind to Sherwood. His wins haven't all been because of his tactical proficiency.

No teams wins are all due to tactical profiency.

Of course, no managers are - i would think that is a given!

what do they say - fortune favours the brave.....?

I would say for the most part, AVB was not brave - thoughtful, careful, meticulous..... maybe!

Someone spent a lot of time putting that together. Is it bad of me to just dismiss it as bollocks?

No, because that's completely what it is. It cant be used in favour or against either the present or the former Head Coach as it's values and data are such shite.

The problem is all of avb's wins bar one this season are not due to tactical proficiency
