Clean sheets

4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 40 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.8, Dobson carries the 35th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Championship of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
