Blackett's output across the Championship is defined almost entirely by his work without the ball — averaging over ten tackles per match and peaking at sixteen in a single game, he functions as a high-volume defensive presence in the tight. His carry numbers are modest in both frequency and gain, pointing to a role built around physicality and contest work rather than ball-in-hand ambition. The consistency of his defensive contribution across all three matches suggests a player trusted to do the unglamorous, essential work a lock is asked for at this level.
