Apart from the cross I didn't think he did anything else of note. My main concern is he is so ponderous in his movement. Way off the pace and second to every ball. Nowhere near good enough for first team football.What did everyone make of his performance?
He got an assist in 25 minutes of gameplay, you can't complain at that no matter what else he does. He really needs a run out, 10 games, guaranteed 90 minutes to see what he can do.
Needs to move away on loan .
Even greats like Bale did ..
He has to go out on loan, either league 1 or 2 but he needs games.
He is at an age where he should not be a fringe player....he IS too slow and ponderous.
Great effort to get that cross in but THAT is all he did.....no influence at all.
It says a lot that no clubs are even sniffng around....
Incredible that despite the utterly crap performances from some of our players the player who gets singled out for criticism with his own thread is the one who created the equaliser. He could score a hat trick and there'd be someone on here complaining it wasn't aesthetically pleasing enough ffs.
Many reasons for players not delivering.
There may well be an attitude problem .
He wants away.
Or the clubs expectation of him delivering what they need isn't in his locker .
Championship can be brutal.
I thought the hunger to get on the pitch as a young Cardiff player against our foe would see a bit more determination.
Something doesn't look right .
Is he still growing ? As that is difficult to knit into a youngsters development and skills.
I agree he doesn’t need to be singled out, I think people are more thinking to the future.Quote:

Picking Ojo on his form this season in front of Colwill, or Davies, makes no sense in my opinion.
No influence at all, but a cross that set up a goal. C'mon Mo, you're getting twisted up. Incidentally, i don't think that Colwill is good enough either.Quote:

He's the only natural footballer we have at the club, a good manager would build a team around him, sadly we have failed to utilise another gifted creative player, instead we have Ojo and a wanker like Wickham playing for us🤮
He gets singled out because he's come through the system at City and everyone wants him to be part of our future. When he doesn't deliver it's especially disappointing.Quote:

I don't like digging out younger players but I've yet to see anything from Colwill to suggest anything like thatQuote:

I'd love to see what Colwill could do if given the same opportunities as Ojo. Without Robinson we look in desperate need of someone who can actually pass the ball in advanced areas, something Colwill feels more suited to than Ojo or some combination of Etete/Kaba/Wickham.Quote:

It's no wonder we pin our hopes on anything remotely creative, even the sprinkler system that waters the pitch is more aesthetic and graceful than most of our players.Quote:

Real Madrid loaned him to Spurs.Quote:

You've got to be some player to have a team built around you.Quote:
