Colwill. Not having a pop but let's nip this in the bud right at the start of his career so he doesn't become another Boothroyd.
He's got a bright future, he's a mad player to watch though. Very effective but you could hardly say he glides across the pitch :hehe: he's got quite a clumsy style of play (to my untrained eye anyway)
Saying that, I do absolutely love him
Culwell is the best youth player we’ve had since Ramsay
Erm...It’s Rubin as well, unless the OP was on about another similar named player:hehe: He’s either very lucky or knows what he doing when he goes on a bit of a run, the ball invariably sticks to him despite hitting opponents shins or the like. It’s never, or it seems like, a clean dribble.......but, up to now, it works, long may it continue.
Ah...one too many glasses of red wine....Quote:

Does his best work in the final third facing the opposition goal, very positive in that area. Sometimes though, like a baby giraffe giving multiple traffic signals.Quote:

Totally agreeQuote:

There's a player there but he has a long way to go. I don't see us fighting off serious money, more chancers who would look to get him on the cheap and then loan out.
Nice to see academy players having any sort of impact.
Steve Morison said in his press conference (he's started doing them now, rather than the Zoom meetings) that Colwill needs to learn how to use his six foot four inches more both in terms of all round strength and heading the ball. He also said that Colwill has much more ability than he ever had and if I read him right, I think he was saying that it would be a bit of a waste to just use him as a number nine. If that's what our manager meant, then I agree with him because he has to be more of a number ten surely than a target man - albeit I agree that, with his height, he should be another aerial threat.
Think some in this thread are being a bit hard on Colwill - he's nineteen, is probably our main creative threat, is our joint top scorer and has played a very prominent part in two of our wins (Forest and Preston), sparked a comeback from 3-0 down at Stoke and was a factor in our win last week, is there any other player in this division that could be applied to?
Danny Gabbidon on the EJFOF podcast was very adamant that it was all Mick (for all the youngsters getting a chance) and we need to be careful of others who try to take credit.Quote:

I really dont think some can spot genuine ability.
That's what I think, he looks like he has plenty of talent to me. It's his first full season in the first team, he's been playing in a pretty shit team playing pretty shit football and still managing to look a good player.Quote:

I'm pleasantly surprised that we haven't forced him to play as a target man due to his height, and he has been able to develop his skills in the younger age groups.
Some people are unfairly harsh on the youngsters and I don't really see why. One poor half from a teenager and there's people crying he's not good enough, never be good enough etc whereas senior players can put in a series of abject performances and people will be saying they're not being played right, manager's fault etcQuote:

It's part of the game and it would be naive not to think so. When you're better at something than most people then there's going to be attention, no Matter what the age.
he's definitely becoming more and more influential as he gets used to this division. from his first few forays his number of take-ons completed had shot up in the last few weeks which is probably down to having more confidence that he belongs at this level. if he fills out a bit he could become a real powerhouse driving from midfield.
He's good now. I think he's going to get better and better.
I think he is a huge talent. I am genuinely excited about him. His touch is excellent, he’s natural on the ball and he can drop his shoulder and go past people like they’re stood in concrete. It’s not pace or dribbling just natural talent. Reminds me of Koumas in that respect.
Robin Clubfoot has got what it takes to become a Wales international.
