Conclusion:
Proactive right-sided attacking midfielder who impacts games through movement, pressing, and link play rather than pure on-ball dominance. Final-third output still developing. #scfc#stockport#scout
Scouting Report: Josh Stokes (Stockport)
Played mainly from the right but often drifted inside as a hybrid 10.
Strengths:
Intelligent movement between the lines and into the box
Consistently made well-timed runs in behind
Strong combination play (lay-offs, quick link-up, 1-2s)
Key observations:
Repeatedly arrived in dangerous box positions unmarked
54’ made excellent run into scoring area but wasn’t played in
Involved in interception → dribble → chance sequence
Good pressing intensity early in phases
Active in transitions (ball recovery → attack) Weaknesses:
End product inconsistent (and not always fed in dangerous areas)
Influence can depend on team progression into final third
Needs more consistent decisive actions (shots/passes
