Output in context · Lincoln finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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. 4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 57.7, Towler carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
