ICT Analytics: The Terry Butcher Years

It was announced yesterday that former England captain and more recently Hibernian mananger Terry Butcher will become the new manager at League Two side Newport County AFC in England.

Because I have the data and because some Newport County supporters might be interested (I know at least one), I thought I would post some stats for Butcher's top flight years at Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT).

As you can see from the tables and figure below, Butcher enjoyed consistent success at ICT, with the Jags showing steady improvement in Shots on Target Ratio under the Englishmen.

Newport County fans can expect moderate productivity in terms of shots and goals. So not the most attractive approach, but effective nonetheless in terms of points per game; roughly one win every two games is not a bad return.
