Just confirms that the combination of a very unsettled side allied with such a young average age is a recipe for disaster.

No. The only thing it confirms is that we've used a lot of players this season so far.

Cannot be a coincidence the 3 bottom teams in the division have also fielded the youngest squads  Hmmm

We had one of the youngest squads last year and made it to play-off finals, what did that confirm?

What would Wigan fans think of those stats? Would they think using a high number of players spells disaster? Or Sheff U fans when their team is just outside the Playoffs?

There are way too many variables for it to be anything but meaningless, unless you allow confirmation bias to settle in. We used a relatively high number of players when PDC was here....... WE NEED TO USE MORE PLAYERS

But Wigan and Sheff Utd have big squads of pretty much equal competitiveness. Blades, indeed, regularly are able to put out 2 entirely different XIs in cup and league.

Maybe what those stats show is we are very weak, almost uncompetitive, without the first XI playing. Hence the disaster now.

Maybe.

Maybe is a lot different from 'confirm'. Maybe those stats also show that we have been rather unlucky with injuries and just can't compete with larger clubs such as Sheff U and Wigan. Maybe.

Maybe those stats confirm that we would be higher in the table had we not has so many injuries. Maybe.

No maybe about it really.

We are joint bottom whatever the reason. The usual reason, of course, is that the players who play just aren't good enough.

That's pretty much the bottom line here. You don't go 12 matches without a win on bad luck alone. Injuries have killed us.
