I'm not a wise head, at least not according to the many "experts" on here, but I understood the stats in the article. Reep fell for The Base Rate fallacy. I went to see quite a few Watford games in the 1980s and although I quite like the club and the fans I didn’t enjoy the football. Taylor had a lot of success but he took football backwards.
