Josh Windass Scout Report
Josh Windass is a prolific attacking force in the Championship league, firmly ensuring himself a key role in Sheffield Wednesday's lineup this 2023-2024 season. The England national's multi-faceted prowess lands him in the upper echelon of goal threats in the league, a strength depicted by his astounding percentile ranking. His shots and xG per 90 echo an unmistakable narrative of a player with a lethal eye for goal, further amplified by a significant proportion of his play happening in the attacking third.
Despite his considerable prowess up front, he does show a notable weakness in his ball retention and progressive passing abilities, ranking towards the lower end compared to his cohorts. Additionally, he proves to be a rather discordant component in challenges as seen in his grim duel win percentage and high accumulation of yellow cards.
Windass may be less of a playmaker with lower touches and pass accuracy per 90, but his style of play and stats suggest he is a player who thrives as a direct threat in the attack, capitalising on his every touch to edge the game closer to victory. His reputable goal efficiency is a testament to that.
However, Windass could certainly improve in terms of contributing more defensively, with lackluster ball recoveries and interceptions. All in all, this scout report underlines Windass as a driving force upfront, able to turn a match around single-handedly, though some aspects of his game could use refinement.
