Sam Long, a stalwart at right back for Oxford United in the Championship this season, showcases a defensive acumen that underpins his style of play. His aerial prowess is particularly noteworthy, boasting an impressive duel win rate in the air. Long is undeniably effective in physical contests, with a stellar ability to win duels, making him a formidable presence in defensive scenarios. Although he could improve his ball retention and chance creation capabilities, his focus is more defensive, with a notable tendency towards interceptions, which often halts opposition attacks. However, his lower engagement in progressive carrying highlights a conservative approach, rarely driving the charge forward. His comfort zone lies deep in his own half, evoking solidity but less involvement in attacking endeavours. Despite not being the most advanced passer, Long's disciplined defensive work and minimal fouling ensure reliability at the back. With touches dispersed primarily in the defensive third, his role is clear—protection over progression.
