Colwill

Its decision time for the club and Rubin

He has something but not enough to carry, he isn't Tomlin during Harris's reign

All his good work is deeper, his passing range and running into space allows him the time to get his head up and make something happen or just recycle. Its almost as if he thinks he has to do a highlight reel every time he gets the ball.

I think Bellers hinted that his Wales future would need to be in a different position. Whether that is at 8 or 6 i don't know. He is not afraid of contact like Robinson but he is not a great runner so needs to work if he can on his short-range speed.

He may just be a L2 luxury player though and this is his position.

A proper I am not your mate manager will expect a lot more

Awww come on , how can u blame colwill , atleast he’s trying to make positive play , he’s the only one who looked to go forward tonight , I think this is harsh on him , there’s a deeper problem going on and it’s not colwill

Spot on. It's easy to blame Colwill when we don't win. Nearly every attack came from him and he's not the only one to try little flicks. To be fair most of his come off and get him out of a bad situation.

My only criticism of him is sometimes he keeps the ball too long, he needs to distribute it faster but that goes for all the players. A better manager would address that issue.

He seems to have had all confidence sucked out of him. Awful again today and I’m one of his biggest fans

Sucked out of him how?

He's been given a very decent run of games and played the full 90 minutes in most of those games.

Riza obviously trusts him and gives him plenty of freedom to more or less play where he wants to on the pitch.

He's been given numerous opportunities to influence games since Riza took over and has largely failed to take them.

Perhaps we're now seeing the real Colwill.

An average Championship footballer capable of a very rare spark of inspiration once every ten or fifteen games.

Perfect description of him! So he's a league one player really. 15-20 million player a few weeks ago according to some fans. Utterly laughable.

I cannot agree, he is in the team for his skill and as a playmaker. He is there to supply/be the goalscorer.

Now, he has the skill, the ability to beat a man, make slide rules passes and score a blinder. BUT, his decision making is appalling.

I do bang on a bit about this but without a football brain he will not make it any higher than this division.

Unfortunately a football brain cannot be taught so we are left with all the skill and HOPE he can be instructed every step of the way.

Ditto Tanner.

He be so much better if he stuck to the basics a bit more, and stopped trying little flicks etc.

Are we allowed to criticise him?

Always trying these flicks, get the game won and then you can do stuff like that - especially as half the time it never comes off.

Falls to ground too easily as well.

People need to wake up and see that he's not the world beater they think he is.

He's not a kid anymore.

When we lose Colwill gets criticised more than most, so for me you're first comment is a bit childish.

Yes he tries little flicks but he's not the only one.

He is a talented player who needs guidance from an experienced manager who can teach him when he can and can not do these little flicks etc.

He also doesn't need to be criticised every other week if we lose. Cardiff fans have a history of doing that to our most talented players.

Colwill would benefit from better quality around him but it looks like he is going backwards again,
last night he lost the ball or fell over more times than retaining it.

As far as I’m concerned, none of our forwards are particularly good. Hence so many on here are scratching their heads why Reindorf wasnt given a chance.At least Colwell has improved in the effort he puts in.
That is the least we should expect. In fairness evwn Meite tries hard.
I am amazed how Robinson escapes criticism. Much of the game he trots around waving his arms and pointing and doesnt put in any decent challenge, let alone a tackle!!! His occasional goals are usually little more than tap ins. However, he misses quite a few of them!!

First comment is not childish at all. I have been torn apart on here for criticising him in the past.

We were constantly told he needed a run of games.

He's had those run of games and what has he actually delivered? Very little.

Pleased to see some are waking up to the fact he's not this great player people said he was.

Said weeks ago he would fo better and team would do better if concentrated on controlling ball and make the simple pass rather than fancy tricks that can get you out of a sticky situation but also means lose possession more Tanner is similar holds ball to long so both get tackled before can release a pass...People moaned about rolls last night but he didn't lose ball like those two did... if teams analyse Colwill as most do before sighning player they would not be buying him.....

Agree, when he takes the ball on the turn then either passes or shoots its great. But stopping, holding up the ball then waiting to pass kills us. To me thats the biggest thing.

QPR got the ball, run forward and passed it forward. Pretty basic and simple

Some of the comments about him have been crazy in their blue tintedness.

One chod even said more talent in his toe nail than Jordan James.

We are never done.

Are you going to watford? Pistols at dawn?

Colwill dropped. The one good decision that Riza has made.

played well but he'll end up deeper, not sure what level. I just think he needs the game in front of him

Did well today when he came on to be fair

Rubin Played really well today and what a partnership with Michael Reindorf and add Robinson I would start the 3 together

Absolutely. Rubin, Tanner and Robertson have linked well in recent games, so today's link play with Reindorf and Robinson points to how we could set up for parts of games and depending on opposition.

What’s that formation?

4132 with wingers?

Robertson and Colwill centre mid?

He did ok today I thought, but again it was against a very poor team. He’s not as mentioned a tomlin now where near. We need to accept that for the benefit of both him and the club we need to part ways.

Part ways with Rubin and we’ll have no players left that excite me in the slightest.

Lol. That’s how I feel now he’s not exciting for he frustrating and below standard.

Frustrating is a perfect word to use. He’s got so much talent, in my opinion, and makes the game look effortless. He just can’t seem to get that consistency going.

The way he finds the pockets of space, and links up with Tanner and Robinson just goes to show he has a footballing brain, but he doesn’t seem to put on 100% effort for the entirety of the time he’s on the field.

You’re right that he’s a really frustrating player.

Still think it’s getting ripped apart in midfield that

And still the lads name comes up more than any other player.

Time after time all season hes moving forward with the ball, something that almost feels alien to a lot of our players, and yet there is nothing in front of him, no angles of running, variety of movement or worst of all, no actual bodies to pass to! Who can blame him trying the odd flick or two when things are stale out there, when they come off its often effective. His mindset and style is offensive, give me players like that any day. He is playing in a bang average to poor championship team, with rigid inverted out of puff team mates, who often lack passion and fight let alone wanting to move the ball forward like he does. Without him, it will be sideways football all day long. There aren't other players in the squad like him, he stands out. I dont believe he is a world beater but has so much more to offer than the majority of our squad. Its like hes not allowed a bad game! Many others in that squad should be in the spotlight for criticism not Rubin. And yes there are things about him and his game that need improvement, but this is his first run of games at 10. Many players have had much longer yet are delivering less than him and not being highlighted for it.

The problem is when he's played badly, people don't mention him.

But when he plays well, people overstate how good he was.

If he had put in a performance like Robertson did, this forum would be full of people saying how good he is.

Sometimes feel sorry for the rest of the team because they can play brilliant but will never get the praise Colwill does.
