Steve Cook Scout Report

Steve Cook's 2024-25 season at Queens Park Rangers has exhibited his robust, yet refined style of play as a seasoned centre back in the Championship. At 33, Cook still commands the defensive third with an impressive progressive passing ability, ranking among the best in his position. This knack for initiating plays from the back is complemented by a commendable progressive carrying capability, underscoring his comfort with bringing the ball out of defence. Despite not being the most accurate passer overall, Cook's efficiency in long-range distribution stands out in QPR's tactical setup. However, defensively, his game reveals room for strengthening. His aerial prowess and ball recovery rate aren't among the top in his class, suggesting a slight vulnerability in dealing with top physical demands and dynamic forwards. Yet, Cook compensates for this with a strong ability to win duels, indicating a determined and tactically aware defender. His contributions are primarily rooted in the defensive third, making him a reliable presence, although his effectiveness in interceptions and recoveries calls for improvement. Overall, Cook’s experience and passing integrity make him a critical cog in QPR's defensive machinery, though enhancing defensive metrics could elevate his contribution even further according to the scout report.
