Josh Bowler Scout Report

Josh Bowler, plying his trade at Preston North End this season, epitomises the classic English right winger driven by pace and directness. While Bowler is not the most prolific in front of goal, with his goal threat metrics sitting below average, it's his ability to maintain possession under pressure that truly stands out. His impressive ball retention and touch frequency highlight him as a player who maintains composure even in tight spaces, a quality not often seen at Championship level. Despite his struggle to consistently convert opportunities into assists or goals, his progressive passing is in the upper echelons among his peers, hinting at a keen eye for threading incisive passes. Yet, Bowler's disappointing pass accuracy suggests room for improvement in ensuring his attempts reach their intended targets more consistently. A note of concern is his relatively low chance creation and dribbling stats, which indicate that while he might possess an astute passing game, his creative influence in the final third can be sporadic. Overall, this scout report suggests Bowler's style of play is evolving, marked by potential to be a midfield pivot rather than a traditional winger, should he hone his creative and finishing skills further.
