With physicists seemingly becoming a staple of any
Premier League analytics team, The Analyst thought they should get
one of their own. Having made the switch from The Early Universe to
3 p.m. on a Saturday, Jon aims to combine his numerical background
with an illustrious football career. He once made an appearance on
the Fratton Park pitch, though some would argue it doesn’t count if
you were a child mascot with Lomana LuaLua’s arm around your
shoulder. For The Analyst, he helps produce the statistics and
graphics that fuel our content while furthering the introduction of
advanced metrics. You may see from Jon an occasional Brighton piece
– if he’s not in despair about a recent performance. He’s also
responsible for analyzing The Analyst through our site analytics,
which is about as meta as it gets.
