Output in context · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 44 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 94.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.14 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 47.3, McLoughlin carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Blackburn finished 20th of 24) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
