Conor Chaplin?
at 13:52 26 Jul 2021

Hi BFC fan here.

He's definitely not 5ft 10, even stood on a chair yet he's scored some impressive headers!

The 31 starts doesn't tell the true story, the old coach liked to substitute all 3 strikers on 60 mins so all of our 6 main strikers got a lot of game time last season. A lot of the time he would start with a weaker 3 and then bring on the better strikers to finish teams off, judging by the league position it worked. With the number of substitutes available going back to normal Chaplin will find he's the 4th/5th choice striker. Last season the best three were Dike, Morris and Woodrow, had we not changed the substitutions rule those three would have started 90% of the games.

But l think he would still be a great option for us off the bench at this level but it seems his opportunities are limited (we are about to announce a new striker signing). He will be a great addition to any league 1 side and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't hit 20 goals. His attitude has been first class at Oakwell and a privilege to have had him.
