Output in context · Notts County finished 5th of 24 · an upper-table side
4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
