Across 31 appearances as a replacement, Barratt's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive contribution — averaging over seven tackles per match and topping out at 18 in a single game, figures that point to a player who enters the field and immediately takes on significant defensive responsibility. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the disciplined, limited-ball role typical of a forward replacement, though his best individual carry tally of seven shows he can contribute with ball in hand when called upon. Taken together, the data paints a picture of a reliable impact substitute whose primary value lies in maintaining defensive structure late in matches.
