Output in context · Heart Of Midlothian finished 1st of 12 · a title-challenging side
1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) 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 5 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
