I just discovered this thread was started by a Huddersfield fan 4 years ago.

Thank you @Samhudds

Good Spot @Scott

I remember watching him at Huddersfield and thinking he looked decent. Huddersfield fans raved about him and then when he went to Brighton and again played well, I think we all thought we might have another JT.

I really did have big hopes for Colwill but whether it is the injury, complete loss of confidence, or just getting found out and not being the player we hoped - who knows? But right now we don't appear to have one single CB of any real quality.

A CB getting yanked at halftime because they spent 45 minutes getting manhandled is downright humiliating. Let alone the captain as well.
Big Colwill supporter, but he's been on my sh*t list for the past few weeks. Two years ago, I pointed out a few things he needed to sort out if he ever wanted to be a top Premier League CB.

Still weak as piss.
Still gets turned easily.
Still poor in the air.

Some like to point out Palmer's ego, but I think Colwill is worse. Feel like we've given him the armband far too early, and it reflects his poor attitude on the pitch.

Pretty clear based on Alonso's comments post match that he blamed Colwill for the penalty rather than poor reffing. Most likely because he saw that Colwill was getting outmuscled every time by Brobbey.

At Brighton he was playing alongside a solid, experienced defender in Dunk and seemed to work well with him.

Players getting the armband ain't earning it. There is only one player in this squad that should be captain and that is Caicedo.

The issue is that it's our entire defence.

Fofana is horrible in the air and gets turned easily.
Anselmino, much like Sarr, is a pony and will get destroyed in this league.
Acheampong I want to stay at RB because we saw similar issues when he played CB.

Lacroix, physical as he is, has just been a bozo akin to Koulibaly.

We are absolutely justified in questioning the move at the time, given everything going on, but I still think we whiffed hard by not pushing for Jacquet last January. He looks like an absolute unit at Liverpool now.

He's playing next to VVD and Araujo and is LFC's worst defender most games. Stick him in our back line and we'd be having the same complaints about him.
