Output in context · Gillingham finished 7th of 24 · an upper-table side
3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (7th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.711000000000006, Dobbs carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 55 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
