For me Colwill is still the only midfield player we have who demands the ball, drives us forward and actually looks to create anything rather than forcing it upfield to a winger and then wondering why nothing happens when the nearest player is 20 yards away.

To be fair Ramsey was that player early in the season and he is quite likely still slowed from injuries but since coming back he hasn’t been able to do it. He was completely anonymous in the first 45 minutes last night like the rest of our midfield.

It took Colwill a bit to get going and there were even the usual grumbles that he wasn’t running around enough, but once he got settled in and we even brought on a few other players like Ashford and Turnbull who are forward thinking it looked like a totally different team. No reason not to give it a go the rest of the season similarly, but I would expect from Buluts comments on Ashford we will see some variation of the side that started again next time.
