Gemma Boyd

Gemma writes the analytical end: why a back three stopped working in February, which side lives on set pieces, what a club's underlying numbers say about whether a hot streak is real. She is careful to explain a metric before leaning on it, on the grounds that a reader who does not trust the number will not trust the conclusion either. She is not a spreadsheet with a byline, the data is there to settle an argument, not to start one.
