Manager pinpoints how 'phenomenal' Cardiff City attacker addressed problems to flourish once againBy Glen WilliamsWales under-21s manager Matty Jones has commended Rubin Colwill for addressing the defensive side of his game and believes the Cardiff City attacker has become a far better player for it.
Colwill has come under scrutiny from club boss Erol Bulut this season for neglecting some aspects of his game, predominantly his work out of possession, which saw his game time greatly reduced at the beginning of the campaign.
However, Colwill now believes his club manager trusts him and even his boss at the national team level has seen a rise in the level of his performances. The Bluebirds playmaker has been praised for his attitude when dropping down to under-21s level with Wales, after playing against England at the World Cup a year ago, and has been one of the standout performers and seems to be enjoying playing under Jones.
And Jones himself has taken pleasure from seeing Colwill flourish over the last few months, which has manifested itself in him scoring four goals and producing three assists in his last five games for Wales under-21s. He also netted a sublime goal against Bristol City in the Severnside derby for Cardiff — he has three goals and two assists in 13 Bluebirds games this term — which appeared to really signal that he was back to his peak level of performance.
