Colwill

Good performance today and probably my MOTM.

But he will never be a great player until he improves his end product. The chance he had should have been a goal.

Can say similar about Tanner, scored a great goal but then missed a simple opportunity which would have secured the win.

In fairness to both they have consistently been bit part players and only now enjoying a run of games.

I’d say there’s more to come from both, Tanner feinting to use his left only to drag it back onto his right nearly made me fall over, he’s been 2 footed all along and fooled everyone

I think we just sit back and enjoy the ride. He is so unconventional i still have no idea where and how I'd deploy him.

He makes you chuckle and scream in the same passage of play.

Both Colwill and Tanner are brimming with talent but they do not have the brain of a footballer, so their decision making is flawed.

Only the greats have both.

Decision making has nothing to do it when you're five yards out and put the ball wide, it's just poor end product.

Was great today but his finishing is atrocious. The occasional worldy that's it. He is what he is and we need to stop expecting more. Hes a decent Championship player buts hes not our new superstar or a premier league player and never will be.

He is a dribbler and passer he doesn't have composure in front of goal. In a few season's time he'll be a deep-lying playmaker at a higher level than Cardiff City.

I don’t think Colwill knows what he’s doing himself most of the time but he drove us forward along with Tanner .More time on the pitch together will benefit both players and the team .we still desperately need a striker though and need El Ghazi and Willock to step up to the plate sooner rather than later

I was a massive Colwill supporter , but at this stage I agree with your comments. He needs to get up to the next stage. Could be a player like Rolls- good for the club , but won’t go further. If that is so - that will be fine for us at the moment.

Agree that's why they won't be premiership players

Its just about composure and decision making .Give him a chance he's not been in the team full time .
I think that will come just feel he's trying to hard with that part of his game .The right manager can bring more detail to his end product.
I thought he was outstanding today drove us forward and ran his socks off .

I’ve been a critic of Tanner, but the last few games he is starting to make major contributions with his chasing back and tackling, when out of possession. But the main thing I liked today. Was to see he can hit a ball well with either foot. Too many times we see PL players turning circles to get on their only peg.
Ruben I feel is growing in confidence as n every game. Shame about the shot but great feet getting him out of situations where he has 2-3 players on him. Progress for both. And nice to see it.

Couldn't agree more. I love watching him play but all the posters criticising him week in week out should just chill out and appreciate him whilst he's still wearing the Cardiff shirt

This might be a bit controversial, but I really don’t understand the hype around Colwill. This was probably one of his better performances, though that’s not saying much. In the first minute, he put us under significant pressure by giving the ball away, allowing Bristol to create a great chance. He repeated the same mistake later in the half, lost possession numerous times, and missed easy passes—unless it's just a case of him being too selfish. He also missed an absolute sitter. In a match like this, with two poor teams on the field, he still couldn’t stand out. It’s just really frustrating. I hope he proves me wrong, but given how much he’s played, I’m starting to doubt it.

The cut back from Tanner took a deflection off the defender before it reached Colwill. I’d be concentrating far more on what the hell O’Dowda was playing at in the lead up to the equaliser. He should’ve cleared it twice and bottles 50/50 challenges.

The dummy was sublime wasn't it, left 2 wurzels for statues. To have the confidence to hit it like that with your "bad foot" is something else. Funny, because I've been reading on here loads lately he's not Championship level.

Some interesting replies.

I expect it would be very different if Kanga or Meite had missed that chance.

Good performance today and probably my MOTM.

Can say similar about Tanner, scored a great goal but then missed a simple opportunity which would have secured the win.

Really don't think this is the time to criticise Colwill after that performance which for me was his best in a City shirt.

Tanner likewise had a very good game, yes they both should've scored their chances but everything good today came from these two.

El Ghazi is a concern looks a shadow of the player he was and NG defensively again, but ultimately the manager bricked it today with the changes and handed them a point.

I'm not really criticising him that much, I actually said he was my MOTM?

Some seem to think he should be immune from criticism, which I don't think is fair.

Some people have been making out like he's this outstanding player who can do anything. But, as I've said, he needs to improve his end product.

Like I say, if Kanga or Meite had missed that chance then the reaction would be very very different.

Agree about El Ghazi and the manager.

I agree he needs to improve end product same as Tanner but these two have been a breath of fresh air along with Robertson the last few games, and every time they get the ball you get the feeling that something positive is going to happen.

They're still raw and by no means the finished article but it's the senior players I'm more concerned with at the moment.

Hes coming on and his performances are getting better.

Been saying for a while that he needed a run in the team and starting for us to really see what he can do.

He needs to improve his finishing and his decision making, but he's by far one of our more creative players, and he links well with Tanner.

you need water carriers and Robertson is looking very promising, Ralls missed a lot of passes but won a lot of balls and he is the closest thing you get to an enforcer in 2024. But Rubin makes me smile. His passes are so measured and his dribbles cause mayhem, I probably curse him more than any other player as well.

The next manager is so important to him.

He kept us ticking and was my MOTM, but needs a bollocking for his miss as that could have killed the game.

We cannot keep missing these sitters.

Good performance today and probably my MOTM.

Agree about El Ghazi and the manager.

I certainly don't think he should be immune from criticism, but he seems to get more than others and most of the criticism in my opinion is unjustified.

Yes he does need to improve on some parts of his game but he's never started a long run of games before but hopefully now he'll continue to start and improve on his overall game.

Regards Kanga and Meite, yes probably would have had criticism if they'd missed that chance but they aren't as talented as Colwill and are older and more experienced.

I glad you saw that as well. I would give him a Fergie hairdryer talking to when he came in the dressing room

I actually think he gets an easy time off the fans. He is rightly supported more as an academy graduate but I do think by many, he could score five own goals and they'd say he was unlucky.

I am critical of him often because we have seen that he has the ability to be a top player at this level.

He just needs to work on the final product, everything else he did today was brilliant.

He is getting his run of games, this is his fifth start in a row, and to be fair he is showing what he can do. That's why he was my MOTM.

If Kanga or Meite would have got into a position to miss that chance I'd have eaten my shoe.

If you read back through the posts on the match thread, Colwill and Tanner were criticised the most but were probably our best two players. Yes they made mistakes but those two along with Robinson were very good today.

Hopefully his run of games continues whoever the new manager is so he can improve overall.

If he continues his improvement, he won't be with us long so we need to appreciate him now while he's still a Cardiff player.

I think Bulut coached the shit out of him. And the managers before him not much better. And development is hard when your young yet made to feel a scapegoat at times but also rarely start, or being part of Buluts rescue squad off the bench. How can you gain consistency and confidence like that? Id love to see if he develops in a better team, playing more front foot football but more importantly with better coaching. I have always been a fan, my favourite player, but his end product really does need to improve, and so many opportunities to be clinical in vital moments and fails to show the quality when it matters. His feet often get tangled up. Having a run in the side, being made to feel depended on and important, may see that improve. I hope so, homegrown City players are a massive deal to me. I have often thought about him playing deeper, because his flicks, triangles, short passes and bursts work better there as there are more players in and around him to bring into play, he always links well with Tanner for example. We are still isolated up top, more so that Robinson is better in the pocket rather than a 9
