.... As predicted, back to his old ways.
Doing stupid little cruyff turns in the middle of the pitch, instead of passing it forwards. Making the wrong choices. If that was Meite, everyone would be extremely critical of him.
Some got carried away by his performance on Saturday but like I said then, he had to follow it up.
And what a surprise, he didn't yet again.
If anything, he was a hindrance and not a help when he came on.

Absolutely was a hindrance when he came on
Seems to have zero footballing brain
Noticed Ramsey has had his 60 minutes for this 3 month period too

Ramsey not injured again. We just have to manage his fitness - that's where Bulut went wrong with him.

He should be even in the squad very poor.

At least you can get your anti RC fix for another week!
Saturday must have been frustrating for you.

I was pleased with his performance on Saturday but said it wouldn't last - I was right.
Want him to do well but could just see this coming from him.
We should get rid of him in the summer.

If Rubin deserves his own "he is shit thread" then I await for ElGhazi beating his man and kicking the ball dead or Robinson's lack of any effort, ball retention, and the basic understanding of the off side rule.
Sad

Feel free to start those threads, nobody's stopping you and I agree that they both struggled.
But they get enough criticism and hardly anyone ever dares to criticise Colwill.
He was a disaster when he came on today. Might as well have put Ramasut in midfield instead.

El Ghazi can’t defend… but he was the only one in the second half who put balls with any threat in to the box… ok he had a bad moment but for his “ten” minutes he did ok.
There was no plan for the subs… surely the plan couldn’t have been to end up with Colwill playing centre midfield.

Ummm, not sure nobody dares to criticise Colwill. He must have had the most threads than any other player of the last three seasons, mostly negative on some daft pretense that's it because he is untouchable as he is a local lad and there needs to be some overboard weird counterbalance, even though there is no free pass.

We'll have to disagree on that one, he very much does get a free pass.

Hard not to agree with everything you say.
Some here will say he MOM again though.

Whilst I agree he was terrible, what didn’t help the situation was that not long after coming on we decided to play 4-4-2 with Colwill and Chambers as our CM’s. Considering how bad we’d been over run in midfield this was possibly the worst substitution of the season. Yes Salech had to come on, but to take off our best player on the night (Mannsverk) for him and then unbalance an already battered midfield was mind boggling. Just an all round terrible performance, but it was hampered massively by decisions from the bench too.

They'll find a way to blame someone else for Colwill's bad performance.
It's never his fault.

I never post but I’ve got to pipe up and say that whilst he wasn’t great there were a lot of players far worse….. midfield was inept all game. I agree he is not the superstar that we hoped for however he can be decent and better in our squad than not. His free kicks not great tonight but we have been poor all season with them.
I like Ashford but first goal came from his mistake and seems to me he is the one who can’t be criticised on this forum as he is the hometown boy!!
Special mention for Alwick tonight who must have rated a minus number…..some terrible mistakes that against anyone better would have resulted in more goals!!
Time for Ng to come back to RB as well as Rino has been sussed by any decent wingers

I can't believe out of all our inept performances tonight, you have singled out Colwill.
Colwill got on the ball a lot when he came on and used it well. He rarely gave the ball away and moved us up the pitch, getting El Ghazi in particular into the game a lot.
There were a lot of poor performances tonight and the past couple of months, I have agreed with your very fair criticism on Colwill.
However, your criticism of Colwill tonight is totally unwarranted. He didn't produce a goal, an assist or a moment of magic, but he was easily one of our better performers when he came on, utilising the ball well.

Totally disagree.
He was doing pointless turns in the middle of the pitch and playing the wrong pass. Sometimes the obvious pass is the right one but he over complicates it.
He offered nothing of a positive note and we may as well have been playing with ten men.
Steve Morison once said to Rubin Colwill, when he was with the U21s, that he wouldn't make it in the Championship and that his brother was better.
He probably shouldn't have said that as his manager, but I don't think he was wrong.

According to FobMob Rubin was bang average.....How do you attach a screenshot on a Chromebook?
https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/matches/ca ... :tab=statsBut there are loads of names below his 6.4

You yourself have pointed out in the past that these ratings are unreliable. They have Ng as our joint second best player this season for example.
But funny you now refer to that because it suits your agenda.
By the way, I never said he was the worst player on the pitch. I just pointed out he went back to his old ways after Saturday - again.
As I've said before, too many won't ever criticise him so I have to do it every now and then.
The fact that the same people who were falling over themselves praising him on Saturday have gone quiet about him in the last 24 hours proves my point that he doesn't get criticism when he should.

At the bottom of the box where you type the message, there's an add attachment bit. Obviously have to have the picture saved to your device to do it like that.
