' Rubin Colwill '

' Rubin Colwill '


By Glen Williams




An academy product to have fallen out of favour recently, Colwill has been restricted to just one appearance off the bench under the Frenchman.

Indeed, his cameo against Luton Town was, if we're honest, pretty forgettable, and we're yet to really see the same sort of spark from him that we saw last term.

In fairness, injuries certainly haven't helped things, but clearly there are other factors at play in keeping him out the team.

Lamouchi seemed a little confused when asked about Colwill's absence in the wake of the defeat to Hull City a couple of weeks ago, before suggesting the youngster was perhaps behind others in the pecking order.

Morison was always keen to stress that onlookers shouldn't place too much expectation on Colwill, and that message has been alluded to by the current boss too, who's perhaps wary of placing too much emphasis on such a young pair of shoulders too soon.

For all the talk of aggression, one can't help but wonder if Colwill, and a couple of others, are actually physically ready to slot into the roles Lamouchi demands.
