I do agree with the original premise by the way. He's done, he's not a consistently impactful player even at this level (for whatever reason) and I hope he retires rather than try to play through injury another season. I'd love for him to find a place in the coaching staff under an experienced manager, as unlikely as that might be with the idiots we have running our team.
Colwill is a talent, yes, but whereas Ramsey hasn’t, I don’t recall, been one for the meandering dribbles, it’s a bit of a Colwill trademark. Perhaps he feels he has to do this and not play the killer ball due to the lack of awareness in his team mates. It’s a bit of a dilemma finding Colwill’s best position, it was a bit ridiculous playing him in the role that was asked of him against Luton. His lack of pace was cruelly exposed on times and his lack of aerial ability was found wanting again. When he, unfortunately, found himself in a defensive situation on that one occasion, he shied away, resulting in a Luton goal.

Colwill, whilst, one of our better players has no chance of matching Ramsey’s career but could shine a lot more in more accomplished company. I just wish we had a coach that could pinpoint a defining role and work on that.
