Salford City’s 2020/21 financial results covered a season that the club described as “unique” with the COVID pandemic leading to “extreme challenges”. Nevertheless, The Ammies’ 8th place in League Two was the best finish in their history #WeAreSalford
Salford City have been high-profile ever since the club was bought in 2014 by five of the #MUFC Class of ’92, namely Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes. Singapore businessman (and Valencia owner) Peter Lim purchased a 50% stake in September 2014.
When they acquired Salford, the club was playing in the 8th tier of English football (the Northern Premier League Division One North), but they have secured four promotions since then, reaching the Football League for the first time in 2019.

1: predicting counterattacks before they occur in real-time by Henrick Biermann & co
interesting look at defensive implications of possible turnover when in possession e.g. risk of your current attacking position; what decisions? (e.g. positional shape, tactical fouls 😍)

KPIs: position of turnover, # players behind the ball, vertical compactness
take-homes:
don't lose the ball 😅
don't lose the ball in centre of the pitch
+2 extra players behind the ball
tight vertical compactness

Back in early September, I put out a team-by-team prediction for L2 thanks to @WeLoveBettingUK.
Roughly 17/18 games into the season, let’s see how good, and bad, my predictions are doing 😬
I’ll go from bottom to top of the actual table.

24: Southend United (Predicted 24th)
#Blues have had it very tough so far. An embargo limited who could come in as they took 2 points from 11 games.
Recent form though is strong, and it’s taken them from well adrift to 1 point from safety. Not writing them off anymore...

23: Stevenage (Predicted 21st)
I don’t think I’m too far off here. 21st is just 1 point away at the minute.
Have much more faith in this #StevenageFC team than I ever did last year and whilst they lack experience up front, defensively they’ve improved significantly overall.

Have that @GaryLineker! Someone get that bloke to come and paint a mural on the side of the pub. Don’t tell @ThwaitesBrewery! Bring on Man Untied! #SWA #TRFC
Man Untied sounds dodgy. I was a bit excited when I wrote that.
Ok this is starting to gather momentum. My area manager is coming at 10am tomorrow. Should I ask him then?
