JOEL COLWILL HOW WELL HE' S DONE

Sat Feb 07, 2026 9:03 pm

JOEL deserves a post all of his own The lad has done so well,himself and bagan this season, as most have under murphy ,willock was sh.te at port vale but is now a different player.

But back to joel who has lived in the shadow of his brother rubin is now on a par with his brother ,I cannot wait for them both to play together again, they bounce off each other, but his work rate is phenomenal .
With Wintle out i hope he keeps his place in there .



Hats off to you joel you have the makings of gunarrsson, well done lad.

I agree, been very good lately.

His work rate is excellent but can play too. I've always said that he'll end up being much much better than his brother and I stand by that, partly because he has the right attitude and is good at all sorts of different things.

I picked Kellyman as MOTM today but Joel and Osho were also in the running - in my opinion.

Agreed. He was unreal today. Ran his bollocks off. Taking his chance in the team very well!!

I remember he went to the manager as he was unhappy being not in the team and what he needs to improve. That's the right attitude. Should never been a sub at Burton after his performance against Barnsley. Another 5 star performance today. A great engine.

My man of the match. He was everywhere. Would love to see his stats in terms of distance covered, possession won, pass completion

Leave BBM tinker it's done wonders so far, especially for the young players like Joel

What a player.

He must be a nightmare to play against.

He never stops!

This lad is becoming a fabulous footballer.
While the focus early season was on Lawlor and Kpakio, I think BBM has used Joel wisely, by not overplaying him.
He always seems fresh with plenty of energy.
He should have a great future, hopefully at our club.

Monty,

I was told 3 yrs ago Joel Colwill will go a long way and his all round performance is better than Rubin’s and it lasts for 90 mins,

I said this on here and I believe it’s proven correct.

Really like Both Colwill Brothers :bluebird:

Yes noticed over the period they came onto the scene ,it was the same with bagan there were only a few me being one who wanted bagan to stay look at him now and those that said he was sh.te not good enough cannot defend etc remember them all ,
same as rubin get shot, joe I did agreed for him to go out to gain game time, as riza & bulut would not give him a place in the team
.
So as i said earlier, this is a positive post from me for the record.
