Chris Rigg

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Played ok but I’d not start him every game. He’ll come up against stronger than today. Good pass to Clarke for the fourth.

It was better than a good. To take it down and release it first time like that in one movement was high quality. There’s not many of our other players doing that like.

This is his 1st team transition year, lots of sub appearances last season, now he's ready for 75mins as a starter. A year behind Bellingham in terms of development if you like. I'm afraid Browne will have to settle as our back-up midfielder, because these 2 and DN are brilliant together.

Average age of 19 for our midfield 3 today!! All 3 were magnificent with Rigg being the pick of them for me. Have to mention Jobe played more forward passes than I saw the whole of last season, he seems to be taking more chances with his passing now which is good to see.

Quality today, you couldn’t tell he has started many games. The midfield 3 all clicked like they’ve played together for years

Madness he featured so little last season

 

[Useful_Idiot]

He was outstanding today him and jobe in the middle of the park fuckimg hell man a 18 year old and a 17 year old rand the middle of the park

Two of the best midfielders in the league and they are kids. The potential in this squad is insane.

 

[McGregor]

He's our best CM like. Simple as that. He still won't be a regular starter for some reason but there we are. At times down the right I saw shades of Hume, Roberts and Amad in Hume, Roberts and Rigg today. They passed to each other very well.

 

[Ilios]

Or Chris Rigg, for short

 

[SKP130]

Reminds me of Foden.

 

[YorkMackem]

We'll have Poveda in the mix soon too.

What a wealth of talent we have at the club right now!

He came on the pitch all smiley at the end to celebrate and congratulate the lads.

What a player. Starting to look a bit special. Brilliant team performance today. Can’t criticise that. Still want a striker mind by credit to mayenda today . Hopefully close to full house against burnley

 

[PitYacker]

Rigg is a cracking player now and at age 17. If he keeps getting games like that under his belt he will only get better.

 

[Vauxie]

Good post

“Played ok”…..Dear god!
He was outstanding man!!

I don’t dish out high praise all that readily and I think people often go way overboard about players but I thought it was an outstanding performance from him. Aggressive, tenacious, brave, and had quality on the ball. Arguably the best midfield performance from any of our players since we came up.

Was about to say its the first time since Amad was here that we have seen those intricate little triangles on the right. Long may it continue.

Fair play to Regis for putting Rigg in ahead of Ekwah when Browne got injured.

I thought Ekwah might get the last 10 minutes. Obviously keeping him injury free before he's sold...for £10m. Lol.

 

[BaldockMackem]

If he isn’t playing for a top 4 team by the time he’s 20 I’d be very, very surprised unfortunately

 

[Monument View]

Could be the best homegrown midfielder since Kevin Arnott

 

[Inside Forward]

His ball over the top to Clarke for the fourth goal was sublime.

 

[jarrowdiamond]

Absolutely superb today, he should be starting week in week out.

He was only 16 mind.
