| How’s Jim actually performing? 17:18 - Feb 12 with 817 views | Rodingdale |
I’ve done a bit of number crunching to inform the debate on our Jim and the performance of his teams. I’ve looked at all league matches and done some analysis.
Here’s what I’ve found:
In Jim’s first season, 22/23 - when he was interim coach - he achieved 1.5 points per game. Looking cumulatively by the end of the 23/24 season, the PPG was 1.32. Including the games so far this season, his average PPG is 1.34. So his teams are not yielding appreciably more as Jim gains experience in the job, and Jim’s Rochdale would achieve 62 points by the end of the season, the same as last season. The highest average he’s achieved is 1.43, which was after Braintree were beaten on 28th September. Had that form been maintained we would achieve 66 points, Barnet currently have 64.
Jim’s achieves a win percentage to date of 37%.
Consistency, Jim’s Rochdale have lost a game following a win on 15 occasions, won following a win on 9 occasions and drawn following a win on 5 occasions. So the most likely result following a win, is a defeat.
Jim’s Dale have won three games in a row, twice and four once; drawn four in a row once and lost four in a row once. The longest unbeaten run in the same season (this season) is five games.
Draw your own conclusions but I believe the statistics based on his performance over 80 games support my and many other fans on this messageboards view, that nice guy as Jim might be, he’s not going to get us out of this division.

League win percentage this season: 50%
Points per game this season: 1.65.
Which would see us end up on 76 points.
The debates around the manager’s tactics and selections are valid. The concerns are getting greater too. But the stats show a visible improvement year on year. |  |

You can cut it how you like, but McNultys Rochdale is very inconsistent, inconsistent teams do not win promotion. The result most likely to follow a win, is a defeat. Longest unbeaten run five games, on bowling green pitches in the early season. I will be absolutely delighted for you to be right, but that would mean Jim massively improving the teams performance, on heavy winter pitches with lightweight players. The averages do not lie, and he’s bang average. Nice bloke though, apparently. | | | |

Not about cutting it how I like, simply illustrating the stats this season. For example, since Novemberwe have gained 16 points from ten games, so the form has indeed dropped slightly since earlier on in the campaign but still play-off level form.
Not wanting to be right about anything - as stated, the issues and concerns are very valid - but we can’t use stats to support one argument without looking at others that might offer an alternative view.
The averages, if they don’t lie, say that McNulty has improved season on season and he has a side that averages enough points a game this campaign to make the top seven.
Right now, looking at our form and how we have structured our squad, I’d put averages and stats aside and worry more about whether we can address the problems. [Post edited 12 Feb 19:28]
