It's not happened here for him, for a few reasons. The form and injury record of JOC is one. He's really not been required, and there's been little chance of him developing. But mocking a player who's hardly figured isn't necessary. I wouldn't trust my own judgement on him. He was ok in a few pre season games last summer, looking more comfortable on the ball and trying to contribute going forward. He's not been able to build on that and looked rusty and lacking in confidence in the cup. We've come to a stage where it would feel risky to rely on him if an injury happened to JOC, so a switch to a more experienced and match fit LCB made sense. GLTTL as he rebuilds his career.
