Rubin Colwill and Cardiff City:

My View is We do have the best squad in this league and Rubin is one the best players in this league and now BBM has to get them back to winning ways, we are playing a lot of very very small clubs in the League 1 / Division 3 and We should expect to be Top 2 as nearly every City fan has said from day one:

I honestly believe We will get back on track v Orient in Saturday







AFC Wimbledon boss Johnnie Jackson has described Cardiff City as the toughest opponents his side have faced this season – and believes Rubin Colwill is among the very best players in League One


Speaking on the Not The Top 20 podcast, Jackson said: "For me, [Cardiff are] the best team we have come up against, I would say.


"In the first half, when we played Cardiff, it almost felt like it was a cup game. You're playing a team from a level higher.”


"We just couldn't get after the ball. They moved it so quickly that they caused us a lot of problems.”

"We stayed in the game and probably, in the end, should have got something.“

"But for me, as far as difficulty to set up against them, would be the team that stood out for me."

Jackson also singled out Rubin Colwill, who has enjoyed a stellar start to the campaign, for special praise.

The Wales international has four goals and four assists so far this season, however he drew a blank when Cardiff played the Dons back in August.



“And just some of the individual talent that they’ve got,” he continued.

“I mean, Rubin Colwill, for me, is probably one of the best players in the league. Quality from a higher level.



“Brian Barry-Murphy has got them playing some lovely stuff, patterns and variety to what they do.

"But then they’ve also got that individual brilliance from players like that.”

Cardiff currently sit inside the League One playoff places, but Barry-Murphy’s men are looking to bounce back from a disappointing and shock home defeat by Burton Albion on Tuesday night as they welcome Leyton Orient to the Welsh capital this weekend.

Cardiff have now lost their last two consecutive home games and will be wanting to out this right.

I agree Rubin is one of the best players in this league but sometimes he just needs to do the simple things in games instead trying to force everything.

Since the international break he's been poor and midweek he turned the ball over nearly every time, either with a stray pass or taking to many touches it was his worst performance of the season.

I'm sure not being called up to the Welsh squad must have some sort of effect on his confidence when you see some of the other players no where near his level getting in, that's where it gets personal.

I'm sure he'll pick up again soon but he just needs to manage his game better at the moment, sometimes simple is better and wait for the opportunity to play the killer ball or beat a man. He can't always be the hero.

He's amazing to watch but he's too cool for his own good sometimes. Reminds me of Berbatov.

The Rubin Colwill debate rages again. The facts are he is a league one player and he doesn't score or assist enough to warrant the hype he sometimes gets. His start to the season again encapsulates him as player. Unplayable in some matches then dreadful in others. He was dreadful on Tuesday, This is why he is not picked for Wales. On the broader point of the squad being the best in league one. On paper we should be in the promotion mix, which we are. We should be expecting to win today.

So far this season he has 8 goals+assists in 13 games that's pretty decent and hopefully he can keep up those kind of numbers over the whole season
