Chaplin shared that when he initially began his professional football career, the use of in-game analysis was not as prevalent. However, his time at Barnsley demonstrated the significant impact achievable with proper support from data and analysis. He pointed to the 2020/21 campaign under Valerien Ismael, where they secured a fifth-place finish in the Championship, as an example of what can be accomplished.
“It’s a crucial aspect of football now,” he remarked. “Back when I was starting out, it wasn’t as prominent. While analysis was present, the emphasis on in-game analysis for making adjustments, whether in positioning or shaping, has become a major factor. Even small tweaks can have a substantial impact.”
