Colwill

[City123]

Re: Colwill

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.

But he did deliver? He put in a great ball that resulted in our equaliser.

It feels like some people can't wait to have a go at him, it's bizarre. He and Harris in particular get a lot of undeserved stick whilst players we've brought in from elsewhere get away with far more

Re: Colwill

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��

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

He's very clumsy on the ball

Re: Colwill

His contract is up at end of next season,so we may as well try to get something for him this summer while we can if we aren’t going to use him - if that happens, it will say a lot about what sort of club we are.

Picking Ojo on his form this season in front of Colwill, or Davies, makes no sense in my opinion.

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.

Re: Colwill

Get what you're saying, but he's not, so he has to adapt a bit and make the best of what he has at his disposal,that's what good players do I'll just add that the rest of them are pretty crap as well, so that i'm not accused of singling out Colwill.

Yeah fair enough. It'd just be a shame if we sold him cos we have a culture of being static and shite.

Yup, agree. Colwill showed plenty of promise, so god knows what has happened to him over the last year or so. Thing is, (And i know that i'm guilty of this) whenever we see an ounce of creativity, it's like stepping into the light, we have been so starved of even the basics, apart from Tomlin, and we all sort of knew that he had a shelf life. 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.

Re: Colwill

Needs to move away on loan .

Even greats like Bale did ..

Bale never went out on loan

I think the issue is, he needs a team built around him but probably not good enough to have a team built around him.

He’s not a Tomlin so he needs to add the effort but doesn’t seem to have it, seems an almost player at the moment. But he needs game as clearly has talent in certain areas of the pitch.

Real Madrid loaned him to Spurs.

Re: Colwill

In my opinion, Colwill doesn't have 90 minutes of effective football in him. Give him 20 minutes and he might make something happen. There's a reason consecutive managers haven't started him.

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

Re: Colwill

I can't remember us ever having a player you could build a team around. In fact, I think it's a myth.

Re: Colwill

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's a lump, and I've said it before. He may have skill but unfortunately he's built more for rugby.

Re: Colwill

Surely give him a run of games before deciding to get rid of the youngster? having the very occasional game with his lack of experience is hardly giving him a chance and he has some obvious potential

im not attached to him like some fans but the critics are biased muppets on this board

Thing is, he has to earn a run of games, and we don't see him on a daily basis. Yes, i know that ojo is shit and the like, so what do i know.

Kavanagh was one.

Every big game we lose, sure as night follows day, there’s a thread on Colwill. There’s not a thread on Ralls and Rino, who can’t pass water. There’s not a thread on how appalling our centre backs were. There’s not a thread on Ojo who did literally nothing all game. Let’s just single out the young lad who actually did something and showed some great touches. We were crap on Saturday and he has got something. Whether it is enough, I don’t know, we’ve not seen enough but Jesus Christ, next we’ll be starting threads on why it was Philogene’s fault.
