Playing Style Analysis

Trott is a modern orchestrator in gloves, a high-volume distributor whose composure under pressure transforms him from a mere shot-stopper into a deep-lying playmaker for a League One side. Operating in the top 20% of the division for both pass volume and accuracy, he doesn't just clear his lines; he dictates the tempo, evidenced by his 6.88 passes into the final third per 90 which places him well above the league average for creative output.
