Output in context · Coventry finished 1st of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65.7, Kitching carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 19%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
