8 clean sheets in 32 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

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