Re: Robinson and Colwill.

Yeah I can see that, we all know about Colwill not doing enough off the ball, I stand by he should have been loaned out to a league two team and got regular games until Jan, seemed obvious he wasn’t going to get enough game time.

Robinson has been a shock though, thought he would be a key player for us, can get goals and good link up play and works hard but he’s looked way off it when brought on in games.

Re: Robinson and Colwill.

As ever its always the flair players who get criticised, but the more defensive/lesser players never get criticised for their lack of creativity

Surely there's a balance to be found between attack and defence? We know Wintle won't provide the creative force that Robinson or Colwill will, that puts a lot of pressure on the wingers to provide and also puts a lot of pressure on the defence if we can't get a goal/play in the opponent's half

league 2 my arse, he was winning games and playing enough at this level 2 years ago as a teenager, he's been running games for Wales u21 and we had offers from league one clubs in the summer which we turned down

I didn’t say he was league two level, just that I would loan him to a league two club. We to often loan players to lower leagues who hardly play. He could have gone to Reading, would he have been a key player starting regularly? I’m not so sure.

I would have rather he went to league two, be a key player in a team, play everygame, improve and come back in January a new player. Just a personal opinion.

Re: Robinson and Colwill.

Time waits for no one

Robinson clearly isn't match fit but when he is he needs to be up front not poncing about out wide

Colwill no idea except he's 22 ?

Why have successive city managers not played him when fit ?

The truth is out there

Nevermind 2b2bdoo you haven’t got a scooby doo.

League 2 is not the place for Colwill it is a tough old league. League 1 for his development maybe but league 2 absolutely not. Newport Cewnty, like a lot of L2 clubs, just totally bypass midfield.

Exactly. City manager after City manager with this attacking players needing to be as good without the ball as with the ball attitude it’s so ****ing tedious.

Sound like the type of manager who would have Whitts on the bench.

Talks about being a man down without the ball were an attacker down with the ****ing ball with Wintle at the tip of midfield.

Oh that’s so funny with the name, hope it didn’t take you to long to come up with it tho.

He certainly needs toughening up, certainly not Newport, away from the area, the comfort and the hype.

Some but not all play like that, obviously it would have to be a certain club. League 1 even better as long as he gets regular games.

Exactly. Attacking players get dropped for not being good at defending. Defensive players don't get dropped for not being good at attacking.

It’s not his work rate that annoys me. It’s his stupid mistakes from unnecessary risks that gets me

Re: Robinson and Colwill.

Hate to say it but he needs to play

When we brought on Sawyers the other day was a wtf moment for me

Re: Robinson and Colwill.

Sounds fair enough to me. I like this guy.

Exactly. You could accept the comments about Colwill if Sawyers hadn't been picked ahead of him. Sawyers didn't break into a sweat in the Blackburn debacle

Colwill is 21
