I might get pelters for this because I genuinely believe we’ve agreed to start Jobe most games. And I think they think he will be an 8 but isn’t good enough yet so they’re playing him as a 10 as it’s a position he can’t cause damage in. The problem is it completely hampers us.
It’s actually not fair on the lad. He may very well end up becoming a scapegoat and drawing ire from supporters, even more than he is now.
He’s going to be a great player. But he’s only going to be a great player if he gets experience playing in the right position in a team playing well. Playing him out of position, in a team playing poorly, will likely see him still playing championship football in 5 years
proof will be in pudding next season to see how much game time Rigg gets (assuming Rigg chooses to stay, he doesn’t have to). We are getting told patience is necessary for Riggs development (I agree). But no such patience is being shown Jobe. Which is one of several reasons I’m convinced he’s being pushed to start by his Dad.
