Output in context · Falkirk finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 39 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
