As Colwill started breaking into the first team here Bellamy was saying he always knew how good he was but couldn't play him more because of fitness issues caused by his growth spurts.
I wasn't convinced by this, I never felt he was playing any more or less than he deserved or than Bellamy wanted. He was massive compared to the other lads but never used his size to any advantage and the skill he had tended to be negated by his lack of pace, he'd need to beat the same defender three times in one dribble. He was different to the other players and enjoyable to watch but I never felt he was a key part of the squad and I don't think Bellamy did either.
