He was brilliant, played 2 or 3 pinpoint crossfield 30/40-yard balls; set up two goals, the second assist was brilliant; took the ball on the half turn really well and just generally looked a class above every time he got the ball.

Really glad to hear this, I hope that if he stays at Cardiff he gets a full pre-season and is chomping at the bit to be the main man there - because he can be that guy! |

Cardiff haven't nurtured young players or academy players for quite a few years now. Colwill is actually from the Neath area isn't he, went to Ystalyfera? Maybe he'd be better off moving back to Swansea. |

Ie mae e'n dod o Ystalyfera yn wreiddiol I've been posting that I do want him to leave, but I did read on twitter the other day, and this had never been pointed out to me before, but he's never actually had a senior pre-season. He emerged mid-season, and injuries have prevented him from being able to hit the ground running My opinion is that he's good enough to be the star man at Cardiff, and if he gets a decent pre-season in that might be the making of him I do wonder about his positioning as well as I feel he could be a revelation if he dropped deeper and learned that role Maybe a move would be best, but I wouldn't rule out him having a good season at Cardiff next season |

Cardiff haven't nurtured young players or academy players for quite a few years now. Colwill is actually from the Neath area isn't he, went to Ystalyfera? Maybe he'd be better off moving back to Swansea. I understand your point, although to be fair to Cardiff he was given quite a few opportunities at 18 and then must have played 30+ times last season either starting or as a sub. I know some feel Morrison messed him around slightly by dropping him when he was in form and building momentum, but generally until this season I don't think he could complain too much. This season is just pretty much a write off, and as silly as it sounds, that does seem to be largely down to growth-related issues. As others have mentioned, there are plenty of other examples where players struggled with similar issues but have really kicked on after overcoming those issues - Bale and ampadu are the obvious Welsh examples. I don't really blame cardiff too much either. Colwill just hasn't been able to build up sharpness, and then he's come in a couple of times a little bit cold and been ineffective. When you consider that they're fighting for survival, it's not too much of a surprise that he's not getting minutes. The encouraging thing is that he seems to be a really good bloke with a great attitude. His interview with the u21s, where he was extremely modest and showed no hint of sulking, showed that. He spoke about how he was desperate to play for the u21s when Page suggested it. I personally have faith that he will crack on. He might not get back into the team this season, but if he's managed to overcome those physical issues, I really expect him to show what he's capable of next season. On the point about Swansea, you're correct that he went to Ystalyfera, but I've seen pictures of him as a kid in a cardiff shirt and going to their games, so I can't see that move happening! |

Nice little cameo in the derby today - lovely cross for Cardiff's second and looks a lot leaner than he did previously
I read somewhere that Morison employed a fitness coach who usually worked for rugby teams, if true then that explains a lot about this Cardiff side...

Wouldn't be surprised if he's just been dropped. Sabri Lamouchi's method of picking his lineup appears completely random. No rhyme or reason to it most of the time. Randomly took two attackers off for two defensive players 30 mins in just now. Whichever league Cardiff end up in next season, I hope to god they move on from Lamouchi in the summer.

My son went to watch them today, he wasn’t impressed and thought the midfield struggled. Sabri Lamouchi has a contract till the end of the season, but there’s an old article in Walesonline saying he’s been asked to start transfer planning for next season. Cardiff seem to be at a cross roads and and things could easily go very badly for them. They need to start planning for the future and have a longer term vision. |

It’s such a brutal league. Unfortunately Tan thought he could get an unknown rookie ( Morrison) to do the job of an experienced Championship manager and bring in 17 freebies and off casts hoping it would get them up. Unfortunately once you get above a certain level it needs mountains of investment.

Unfortunately once you get above a certain level it needs mountains of investment. Or just knowing how to run a club, have a philosophy, something for the players, staff and fans to buy into. Luton Town are a fine example of what can be achieved on a relative shoestring if you are run well. I think there's this idea that, once you're in the Championship, you've got to throw money at everything to get out of it and it really isn't the case, that is often where clubs go wrong and the problems start to mount. |

Last game of season ending in 2022 was 07/05/22 and first game of season ending in 2023 was 30/07/22. 12 weeks to bring in 17 players with little money, limited recent history in developing players, a rookie manager and a recent track record for managerial instability.
Past mistakes (for example, breaking the budget to buy Sala then ceding control over his travel plans and keeping Warnock on after Premier League relegation to waste parachute payments) meant this past summer's job was nearly impossible regardless of who the manager was.
Morison, a manager still with lots of lessons to learn, did have a vision but Tan didn't have the money last summer and 12 weeks is a relatively short period of time for it to come about. Hence Max Watters being starting striker.
3 managers later and we're crossing our fingers that we have a redo while still in the Championship but maybe with bit more time and calm around the place.
Luton meanwhile have been building over several years, investing significantly in coaching and scouting to ensure cheaper players are successes. They've weathered their mini-storms well, firstly bringing back Nathan Jones to save them and then being strong enough to survive him jumping ship again.

Cardiff are going down, make no mistake. 2 home games, 4 away, have to play Burnley and Sheff Utd in amongst all that. Only Stoke at home I can see them getting anything from. Unless they seriously turn around their season, they'll be relegated I reckon.

Readings 6 point deduction will have a massive say overall as well |

Difficulty for Lamouchi is trying to find the right players who mentally can cope with the situation, which is probably why he can't put faith in Colwill and Davies to deliver in such crucial matches, but staying up is everything atm.

Well he puts faith in McGuiness as did others and he is very poor and plays in a much more sensitive position for the team. What anyone sees in that guy is beyond me he makes so many mistakes
If they had backed Colwill for a season then I am sure he would have contibuted more positives than negatives, albeit I appreciate injury has played a big role. Maybe he is over rated but we'll never know while he is at Cardiff given the dire quality of the managers they employ

Matondo younger brother might get game time. Maybe in league 1 Cardiff will actually pretend to be a Welsh club and start every game with At least 4 Welsh players! |

He added: "I think Rubin obviously has an amazing amount of talent. And he's certainly showed glimpses of that over the last few years.
"Now I'm hoping that he can take that next step now and consistently show how good he can be.
"There is no question about the ability that he has. Now it's about how much does he want it and how much is he willing to give to get to the highest level."
the above is from a interview on BBC sport,anyone think that is a subtle way of telling rubin to pull his finger out.Pobably me seeing something in nothing,just thought those comments were interesting,

According to someone on Twitter Rubin has travelled as a reserve, as well as Kieron Evans. Bit worrying regarding Colwill, as Robinson is out of the game so you'd assume there'd be a place for him instead. |

Early days of course, but looks like those concerns I had were well founded. It's why I was so torn on seeing Rambo coming back. Looks like it'll be another season with Colwill having a bit-part role

Jury still out but how many managers now and he's not been fancied?
I'm normally one to give the benefit of the doubt but honestly it's getting to stage he's better off leaving and establishing himself elsewhere.
Needs minutes. Go abroad or in League One. Hopefully just leave Cardiff altogether.
