Colwill began on the bench having struggled during pre-season with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
The attacking midfielder was introduced just after the hour as Barry-Murphy made a flurry of changes in an attempt to turn the tide of the contest.<\/p>\n
“He’s only trained for two days really, so I probably shouldn’t have put him on as early as I did,” the Cardiff head coach added.<\/p>\n
“But the way the game was going, I felt as if we needed a bit of something different and he can do that from deep, so we just take it day by day with him and see how he is.<\/p>\n
“He’s an impeccable professional, loves the game, loves the club, so he’s a huge figure for us here, I can’t deny that. <\/p>\n
“He just needs to find some rhythm and volume in his training because he hasn’t done a lot, so we can’t rush him back because that would just put him at risk for no reason.”<\/p>\n
Colwill’s goal means Cardiff are off and running in the Championship thanks to a draw which felt almost as sweet as a victory.<\/p>\n
Amid frantic celebrations after the leveller, Barry-Murphy was cautioned for leaving his technical area.<\/p>\n
Asked whether the booking was worth it in the circumstances, he said with a smile: “No, no, no. I don’t want to be paying any fines. I was a bit embarrassed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
