Colwill signs new contract

Re: Colwill signs new contract

He’s 19. The way people talk you’d think he was 16.

At 18 Ralls was playing regularly in the Championship. Ledley was doing the same at 17.

Obviously hope he goes in to tear it up but he needs to start now.

Of course he does, I think we all agree on that.

Players you mention had managers willing to play them. That's not his fault, and I'm not sure how people talk makes you thing he'd be younger, that comment doesn't really make sense.

Re: Colwill signs new contract

Unless I’m mistaken we’re talking about Colwill becoming a really top player. With full respect to Kieffer, I’m not sure he fits into that bracket.

Logic indicates you want to compare one of your youngsters lack of first team experience compared to others yet want to ignore Keiffer Moore, a classic example of a late developer - the point being players develop at different rates.

Logic would also indicate both Ralls and Ledley had managers willing to play young players; something Colwill would not have had around age 17-18 until McCarthy arrived.

Logic would also indicate it's a bit silly to expect an inexperienced player, with no loan stints under his belt to come in and "tear it up".

He has shown progress in a team being rebuilt and is around the stage of his development you'd expect.

He was a handful against Bristol . Good close control and a real willing to push forward.
It was only one game , lets hope there are many many more.

I don't think anyone's talking about him being the next Ramsey, just he looks like he can play a bit and could be a good asset if he develops

I thought he was being a little disparaging to Kieffer....

Kieffer is a top championship player, the number of players at that level or better we have produced is very small.

Colwill added a bit more class, strength and guile to our midfield when he came on against Bristol. Unusually for us in that area of the pitch he seemed to know what he was doing. Time for a few starts for him I reckon.

A run of games, and a lot of patience from our fan base, same as Bagan, Sang and any other youngsters coming through, they'll have good games and games when things don't go according to plan, just need time to develop

Quite right.

I'd still much prefer they be given the chance to pass the ball more and build tactics around them, rather than force fit them into the shit tactics McCarthy has. It will do nothing for their progression or ours as a club.

Re: Colwill signs new contract

We did offer Mick a contract far too early but I can't see a world where we pay him to leave, unless things start to go badly wrong.

Hopefully we end up with a good number of players aged 19-24 who both have had years of passing football in our youth academy and now a few years of hardened experience at senior level.

It's going to end up just like Nuno's Wolves :thumbup:

Id like to see Mick ditch the bloody awful 3-4-3 and play him as a number 10
