A FORMER TNS analyst is looking forward to helping Brentford stay in the English Premier League next season.

Joe Newton, a former Wrexham Glyndwr University footballing student, has spoken of his pride at being part of the backroom team during the London club's rise to the Premier League.

The 25-year-old enrolled at the university in 2014 after his release by Tranmere Rovers and gained a Sports Science Degree while undertaking performance analysis work for Welsh Premier League club TNS.

After gaining his Masters, Joe was successful in gaining a Performance Analysis role with Championship club Brentford FC with whom he celebrated promotion to the Premier League at the end of this season, beating Swansea City in the play-off final at Wembley.

He said: “I applied for a couple of jobs, including Brentford but didn’t think I’d get anywhere near it.

"The jump was huge – the hours involved, the need for things, the technology and software I had access too was just crazy, everything was next level.”

“It’s very rewarding when you see the players do something in a game and you’re like, ‘I helped with that’.

"The first time it dawned on me was with Said Benrahma last year, trying to get him to run to the far-post on the last line of defenders.

"The first game against Fulham away last year after lockdown, he scored a goal by doing that, after the week or two previously I’d sent loads of clips to Thomas (Frank) of other elite players doing the same and then we saw it happen in a game.”

Who'd have thought it needed an analyst to work out that left wingers score some goals if they attack the back post.

Brilliant excuse just to watch the goals again

Who'd have thought it needed an analyst to work out that left wingers score some goals if they attack the back post.

But this is exactly the reason why, its not as obvious as you think if a player has a mindset.

Oh ok. I thought it might be something coaches do.

Its that useless Marcondes again ,one assist and one goal

I hope he isn’t the person responsible for the ‘orgy in the 6 yard box’. I would like to know the success % of that idea

Well he wasn't doing it, the chap above said he should, he started doing it and scored more goals.
Sterling had to be told to do it as well and he went from 10 to 25 goals a season.

I am sure this is not the only contribution they have made to assisting the coaches.

What, like coaches teaching RB's to watch out for the opposition Left Wing sneaking in at the back post?

It's football, not chess.

I have no idea what that means.

 

[Ealing Bee]

I have no idea what that means.

Perhaps you'd benefit from some coaching?

You know, language, reasoning, debating - that kind of thing.

That’s one way to celebrate promotion and get to know your team mates better
