' Rubin Colwill '

Rubin Colwill can kick on


By Paul Abadanato


You can argue that of the many questionable decisions made this season, the treatment of Rubin Colwill by successive managers was as bad as any.

This most gifted of home-grown stars was barely used. When he was, it was by and large shunted out wide rather than as No.10 playmaker, or for a few minutes here and there.

Rightly or wrongly, many Cardiff fans find it baffling that Sheyi Ojo, and others, are chosen ahead of Colwill.

Clearly there have been issues with the 20-year-old's growing pains. His lack of match sharpness has also come across, albeit that's chicken and the egg because if he's not being picked, how can he get up to game speed?

What remains indisputable is Colwill's talent. In 17 minutes against Huddersfield he almost turned around a two-goal deficit Cardiff's way, showing for the ball, going past players and trying to actually score goals by shooting.

Cardiff have to give Colwill more of a chance. In return, Colwill needs to deliver on a more regular basis.

If he can perform consistently to the levels produced in the closing moments against Huddersfield, he will be among the best players in the Championship and could one day net the Bluebirds a fortune in the transfer market.

Whoever is manager next season, Cardiff need to make far greater use of the mercurial ability of one of their own.

Build a team around Davies and Colwill. We never play our young players until it’s too late, so frustrating.

Hopefully the worst of the injury issues are begins colwill because he could be a massive player next season.

Could we even agree on Rubins best position, to a lesser extent Issak ?

Sitting behind the strikers for me

chicken and the egg situation for me

Rubin doesn't work hard enough for the team for us to have 50% possession, we carry him, but when he does have the ball he is great with it.

With a year left i would put him on the transfer list for £500K to see if better clubs want to take a punt on him

Flatters to deceive, I'm not sure ge is the answer 3 years with us in the 1st team now and I still don't know his position.

Skilful player but clearly lacks stamina and aggression to nail down a position in this team , needs to go on loan somewhere to see if he can step up to the required level
