Today I'm joined by tactical analyst Joe Carnall. Carnall has been a tactical analyst for more than a decade, and has worked for a number of big clubs such as Birmingham City, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Derby. 

In this episode we track the evolution of the role of video/tactical analyst. We get into what the role really entails and dive into some of the tactical trends that are visible in the game today. 

I've really been looking forward to having an analyst on podcast because their role is often overlooked. And yet, they have an increasing influence on the sport and within their teams.

Joe Carnall: The Evolution of Video Analysis

Today I'm joined by Head of Analysis and Recruitment for Solihull Moors, Craig Cope. Cope has worked in analysis for several big EFL clubs, notably Notts County, Nottingham Forest and Birmingham City. 

However, we are going focus on his role as Head of Recruitment. His club, Solihull Moors, are in the National League aka England's 5th division. So I wanted to find out, how do you recruit and identify talent in non-league football and how do you gather data when companies like Opta don't work in non-league?

Cope will also answer those questions and reveal how he went from being a university student to leading a professional club's scouting department in less than 7 years.
