Despite a three games played difference between the pair, the stats are hard to split.
Brattan boasts a higher tackle success rate from fewer tackles attempted, while his 15 key passes underlines his important to the Sky Blues’ forward play.
Always plucky in a tackle, Devlin’s higher duel success rate shows his tenacity to win the ball back, while the youngster is slightly more accurate with his passes.
