“ Rubin Colwill “

Bagging a brace on Saturday and scoring his third of the week for the Bluebirds, Rubin reflected on the performance as City bounced back in Devon.


RUBIN COLWILL

“The scoreline was a good one for us, but also the performance,” Rubin began. “Sometimes you play well and don’t get the result, but today we got both, which is great to see.

“I was happy, I think the first goal it was a really good finish and the second one I’ve been working on getting in the box, in those areas.

"The manager and staff showed me some clips before the game, the runs I make and how to make them a little bit better, and I thought I did exactly as they said and got a goal from it.”





Discussing his return from injury, Rubin now has an eye on the remainder of the campaign, as City look to return to their prior run of form with nine matches still left to play.


RUBIN COLWILL:

“My main focus is on the team and winning," Rubin continued. "I’m happy today because we won.

“I feel like I’m back in my rhythm. The physio and fitness lads really helped me a lot, my rehab was really smooth, there were a lot of long days working really hard and I’m feeling really good for it now, thankfully.

“With regards to this run-in I’m feeling fresh, but I was doing a lot of work in the gym to get here!

"I’m feeling really good at the minute. I’m feeling strong and looking forward to kicking on.”

He's having a great season despite the break for his injury. Certainly been a lot more consistent than in the past which was my only complaint about him previously & BBM has shown that it just took a better manager than he's had previously to point out where he could improve & have some belief in him. Hopefully they are both here next season & we're promoted.

I would still be using him sensibly and slowly increasing game time

He can change games so plenty of opportunity to send him on

No need to pressurise him or the team

He was trying to do the right things in the last two games and got his reward today.

A great performance and the obvious MOTM.

Have to say that when we get to the championship Joe is the 1 , I want to keep. Rubin is good player I supported last season but for me Joe is the better player. Much better engine in a very hard league. Hopefully we can keep both.

He's still 23 mind. His progression is fine. You can argue he's had 1 decent manager in the last few years.

It's not an either or Joel looks like a box to box midfielder, there's definitely room for both. Still unconvinced Rubin and Kellyman work together, hoping to be proved wrong Tuesday

I've said for 2 years if rubin can add consistency to his game he will play in the Premier league and have been laughed at by a few people but I honestly believe he has the ability

Missed game today but just watched the goals , so happy for Rubin boy , great goals and well deserved

I really hope you right. But I wonder if people are losing touch with reality, you do realise we dropped a league where the standard is shockingly poor for him to look decent and still be missing for the tougher games?

there's times even at championship level he does something you just know a lot of players can't or wont try, bristol at home Southampton in the cup etc, he has that little bit of x factor that if it could just be unlocked on a more consistent basis would in my opinion see him slot in to a Bournemouth Brentford type of team

You may be right. But I just can’t see it at the moment.

Yea I also agree not at the moment and never if he doesn't find a high level of consistency

I'm at a loss with how much stick this guys gets. I'm not sure what else he can do to win some of you fellow supporters over. Granted he's not always consistent with some of his performances but neither are the team in general or any other player for that matter (besides maybe Wintle).

I do think he doesn't pair well with some players, e.g not sure he works well with Kellyman so close to him - its quite the opposite with his brother where they sometimes seem telepathic.

But yeah, I just genuinely think he's our best player and arguably the one that will make this club a lot of money later on down the line. He not even lazy, he's quite the opposite.

He might even take more stick than Monty (who proper gets it in the neck on here for some reason).

A very good summary and as I've mentioned previously, he's still only 23 with plenty of time to improve all areas of his game.

Viewpoints are so personal it makes what being human great. As mine is literally the opposite of yours I don’t see what he’s done to be even considered an average championship player.

His fotmob average over the season is at a carreer high of 7.36 out of 10. He's improved this rating year-on-year over the past 5 seasons with Championship seasons and rating going from 6.1 to 6.9 over 4 seasons.

His current 7.36, which is independant and without agenda, puts him in the top10 for the season across all players. Only NG has a higher average rating than Rubin with Tanner, Wintle, Bagan and Lawler close to him in the top 25.

He seems to be rated by everyone, other than a section of his own fans.

My critique was always that he need more goals and assists and influence on games. I am seeing that this season. Next phase would be to do it 3 games out of 4ish. It feels like 2 out of 4 currently, which is ok at 23.

Not many of the haters (other than Worcester, who always manages to) can put together a list of the reasons why they dont like him.

Don't know why you've specifically named me.

I've said several times that I've been pleased with his performance in the last three games.

He's doing the things now that I think he should, regardless of the fact he's scored three in two.

I have never doubted his ability. My issues with him have been about how he uses his ability in games, but he's now doing that in the right way and - crucially - putting in the work required during games.

Massive supporter of both the Colwill brothers and think they can help drive us to the higher echelons of the Championship; and maybe beyond!

An in-form Rubin is a treat to watch but he does need to add a little consistency and when he’s not ‘on it’, he affects the balance of the team

He’s back to his best right on time and pushing us closer to promotion!

I thought he was pointing out that you were the only one who could actually list the reasons when you did. Looked more like a compliment than a dig at you. I could be wrong though.

Correct. It wasn't a dig. Worcester is one of the best posters on here by a mile.

Let's be blunt we should never had gone down last season. We blame the managers but the players have to take responsibility as well with their performances - Rubin is one of them. To be good player when we get the championship Rubin has to be 7/10 for all games. Not 9 /10 one day and 4/10 the next day. Forget Rubin being premiership material do it in the championship first.

Apologies, misread what you were saying. Thanks for your comment about me, I'm sure some wouldn't agree though! Will say the same to you but also that most of the regular posters add something to this forum.

Back to the topic, I'm pleased Rubin is playing well and long may it continue. Unlike some, I think he can be successful in the Championship if he keeps the work ethic because he has the ability.

I don’t think people having a different opinion to others necessarily make them haters, but that’s me in more welcoming of viewpoints.
I’ve read a few posts of people saying he’s just not that good and clearly state the reasons, mostly multiple reasons.

Also maybe I’ve read different posts, who knows so many impossible to know.

If he's fit, he starts every game, regardless of inconsistent form
He is often the only player capable of producing that X factor

Good to have him back
