I've mentioned Moneyball several times on here and whilst some of the theories couldn't be applied to Footy in the same way they can to Baseball the general attitude of refusing to admit defeat when faced by bigger spending clubs is an attitude I would love to see Hibs adopt. I suspect it's the attitude that prevails at Hamilton.

“Moneyball philosophy” which argues, among other things, that a team that wins more than 40 headers, or crosses the ball more than 30 times or makes 12 regains in the final third, will nearly always win.
