Output in context · Southampton finished 4th of 24 · an upper-table side
2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.4, Wood-Gordon carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship (top 13%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
