Re: Rubin Has Had His Chances
Koumas is actually a good comparison. But Koumas was 5 years older and had played 250 league games before he signed for us. The difference between the two when comparing is that Koumas was a player with considerably more experience when he played for us.
He was also given a consistent run in what was an attack minded team.
During Colwill's short run in the team, his performances were vastly superior to anything Robinson, Wintle or Turnbull have produced playing in the same position.
I really don't understand the negativity toward him, he's the best young player we've produced since Ramsay.

Some players do get worse as they get older though through fear and responsibility and they have to do what they need to do, some people say the same about Grealish.

I just think the comparison to Koumas is way off, that’s ok though, it’s all about opinions, we don’t need to agree.
Koumas was brilliant, no comparison at all there yet.

I don’t remember Koumas tracking back and tackling, I do remember being at Luton on a Valentines night and watching Koumas get us the 3 3 draw,
I can remember Koumas scoring 2 away at Doncaster or Rotherham one sunny April and winning the game
Skilful creative players are often stifled and yet, like Tomlin they create the parts of the game you remember
We’re not exactly blessed with players that can turn something out of nothing at the moment, but I’ll bet you remember the way Colwill scored the goal against the Wurzels and created the winner against Ipswich.
He’s a talent, personally I’d treat him like a thorough bred, we’ve got enough cart horses there already
Yes Koumas did his fair share of work and backtracking too, he was a great player.
Rubin still has time, as many have said he will get better with a bit more experience and better players around him giving him more options.

Best player ever in a City shirt, for me. I totally agree. People used to coo over Mc Phail, Richard Langey or Jason Fowler but these were showponies who ponced around the park producing little or disappearing too often.
Koumas delivered in nearly every game. Cracking goals, set piece goals, skinning his marker for fun, assists or a flurry of key passes for strikers. He was outstanding.
