Output in context · ST Mirren finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.1, O'Hara carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premiership of 21, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (ST Mirren finished 10th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
