Steve Morison: “ Rubin Colwill “

Colwill in u21s

This is the first opportunity to start him in a game of football, so we took that opportunity.

Morison




Ready to start?

Maybe. Maybe not. Is anyone ever ready? He found the 60 mins tough. But he’s no different to anyone else in the team.

Always have a smile when talking about Colwill - need to see more from him?




He’s a hugely talented boy. I smile when I go on the defensive on him because I’m trying to protect him. Unfortunately, you guys put too much pressure on him. He’s no different to other players in the squad. Everyone’s treated the same. He has to tick boxes to come back. If I just put him in two weeks ago when he’s just come back and he broke down that’s on me. He has to be managed correctly.

As much as you want that maverick, he might lose the ball and you’ve got a counter-attack on your hands. It’s about the team. I’ll never make a decision based on external opinions. It’s always about what’s best for the team.

There’s always a conversation. He’s not just left out. It’s a squad game and everyone has to be involved. Only a few will play every game. Ultimately, he’ll want to play every game, but so will anyone else. It’s just about what’s right for the players. Controlling the situation and making him the best player he can be.

With our lack of goals this season and no incoming striker this week, I see no reason not to give Colwill a start on Saturday.
Surely, there has to be some change to the Bristol City match line up!
