I mean long term, if he gets the job.

Re: Rubin Colwill rumours

Hudson said he picked up a knock in training on Thursday.

Colwill missed a good part of pre-season with a minor injury.

He made an impression in the second Wales match as a second half sub, but he is still being eased in.

Hudson (and I think Morison less clearly) referred to his growth spurt this year, and how he is adjusting physically and mentally.

McCarthy, Morison and Hudson have all spoken about Colwill's abilities and potential - but he does have weaknesses to work on.

James Rowberry on EJFOF referred to his struggles with heading (and the extra sessions they used to do after training to improve it).

Morison repeated that observation in a jokey way to highlight how good Colwill is in other aspects of his game. He got slaughtered for that on here and a few posters have seriously put it forward as evidence that he didn't like the player. Some of his other comments were ill judged and maybe revealed doubts about Colwill as a guaranteed starter - but not that one.

Why can't we just take Mark Hudson's words at face value? That Colwill is currently the best of the Academy crop and he could be anything he wants to be as a player - the sky's the limit. That he is getting through a growth spurt and a few niggling injuries but is valued and being nurtured by the coaches. That he has some weaknesses in his game (and the last manager wasn't sure how to use him) but that he is working on those weaknesses, is committed to the club, and the manager expects him to be a key player for us.

Enough of the negative thoughts! :thumbup:

Forget about threads, we could have a whole new message board devoted just to Rubin Colwill rumours. It's becoming a fetish for many on here..

Whats the point of putting an injured player in the squad ? Waste of a place.

No, but you're a compulsive bellend

Nice. Caught out peddling lies, so you resort to foul mouthed insults.

I heard that he shot JFK, faked the moon landing and helped Bill Gates put all those microchips in the covid vaccines...

He was fit and healthy the last time I saw him.

I have never heard a manager talk about a players growth spurt before mind.

Seems to be a Cardiff thing both Hudson on Denham and Morison on Colwill

Especially a 20 year old.

I've known teenagers have trouble with growth spurts. A friend of ours' son had to take a year off playing when he was 15. Good player too.

COLWILL:

Hudson believes Cardiff have a real talent on their hands, but says the club have to monitor a niggle he sustained during the international break with Wales over the last week.

"I’m not going to talk about previous (managers). If I talk about Rubin, we know what a talent he is," Hudson said of Colwill.

"He wasn’t involved in the first fixture with Wales, he came on in the second fixture. We know what a talent he is. Between us and Wales there is a link and communication. He has grown so much over the last six months, physically and mentally, there is a lot of pressure on him.

"He has a little niggle at the minute and we will monitor that over the next couple of days. It’s something we will communicate between the club and international setup, between myself and Mr Page. Trying to get the best out of him with a global approach. He has shot up. He has grown up to be a man.

"He excites us and he excites the fans.

"He has got a knock at the moment, we have to look at it over the next few days. He is important to the fans and the international setup.

"He is a good human being and he wants to achieve as much as he can for this club. That’s what he wants and that’s what we want as well."



DENHAM

Oliver Denham has been suffering from a similar issue to Rubin Colwill and his growth issues have taken their toll, according to Hudson.

Denham was withdrawn from Wales U21s' squad during the international break and Hudson has revealed why that was the case.

"He is another body that's growing, because of his age. He has had another growth spurt, we have had to monitor and periodise his training," Hudson said of Denham.

"He is not far off being involved in the international setup but it was just too soon.

"We are just making sure his periodisation is right for him to be in and around training every day. Because of the growth, we have to dip him in and out, that's something we have all agreed on it as a staff and medical department.

"Ollie has been brilliant. A great character and a great personality."
