Erol Bulut:If we start games attacking with Colwill /Callum

My VIEW:

Bulut when arrived said he believed in going out to win all games and was a winner and likes to see his teams score goals.

We were negative until the the last 20mins:


I believe if we bring a player like Kieffer Moore in this January, that will change us up front massively and we will score goals.








BULUT READY TO DO SOMETHING IN JANUARY:

Kieffer Moore has already told Cardiff City come and get me:

To be fair to Dalman Cardiff City’s Chairman he is ready to back bringing Kieffer Moore to Cardiff City, if Erol Bulut wants him.





Cardiff City have scored just one goal in three matches, and two in four games.

Bulut “If we start games attacking, like we did in the last 15mins,If you play how we played the last 15, 20 minutes, with Rubin (Colwill) and Robbo (Callum Robinson) more offensively, you have a defensive risk.”


“ So, I have to decide as a coach if I go from the first minute like this or the last 20 or 30 minutes, when I need it. If I start like this, we see the opponents have good passing game and good movement, so we can be losing 3-0. I don't want that."

Asked if that was an area he would have to address in the January transfer window, he replied: "Until January we have to go with this squad. We will try and make the best. In January we have to do something in the transfer market, because we need it."

The lack of goals has been a concern for Cardiff in recent weeks. Asked why he thought that was the case, Bulut replied: "The last few games, starting from Middlesbrough, it was nearly a game like what we had today. But there we had injuries, we missed players, there also their first goal, we don't need to speak about that. And we had chances to lead in Middlesbrough. We have to finalise them.


Erol Bulut:


"The Watford game we started really well, the first 35 minutes, we could score two or three, but with individual mistakes we made the opponents stronger and they came back. We were a little bit lucky. Today it was more about which team scores first.

"They didn't create many chances. Whoever made the first goal was going to win the game, it was just a game like that. More controlled, not too many chances. We had more shots on goal, but in the end you have to score.


"With a small mistake in the second half, in the centre, the communication and concentration was not good enough. We have to be more focused on that. We have to communicate better, these situations cannot happen, that the player takes the ball and gives the pass easily. We have to be more sharp and more aggressive. In the last 15, 20 minutes we tried more to score, but you have to finalise those chances."


Cardiff could have taken the lead at Ewood Park in the first half. Dimitrios Goutas headed home from a Joe Ralls corner, but the goal was then disallowed shortly after, with Karlan Grant being offside cited as the reason. It caused a few heads to be scratched, to say the least.

Indeed, Blackburn Rovers' Dom Hyam believed his team got away with one. "It's disappointing from our point of view," Hyam said. "It was sloppy and soft. I think we have got away with one, to be honest. I saw the linesman with a flag up. We got away with it, I think, that one. By the laws, he is obstructing him. We'll take it, but it's a bit soft."

My View:

For me we came alive and looked better once Robinson came on.

Nice to see a Gaffa that has a vision and sticks to his guns.He knows what he wants and I'm looking forward to seeing who he brings in in the next transfer window.(Don't know if that's bad grammar or what "double in" )

It's a fair comment though it must be also said Robbo looked busier when we didn't have the ball as well so perhaps Bulut's comments are having a positive effect.Anyway lets hope he's done enough to start as a 10 tomorrow night.

For me he is a manager that plays a conservative game.

I'm comfortable with his back defence but I feel the midfields needs a bit more. As for our attack force we have a long way to go. If he strengths those latter 2 in January we could have a comfortable squad to see us through the season.

N excuses 3pts at Huddersfield.

Plus we are now losing to poor sides and it means his way is not working.

Results in the end will determine a lot.

What I saw the last 10 mins we looked better with the Colwill and Robinson on. Playing ultra defensive gives the initiative to the home side. Blackburn were poor , but we let them come on to us. We are not playing Man City - increase the tempo, and get into them.

He's right.

He's right.

We created one shot on target the whole game and now are failing to score Ned and not getting points.

Spot on.

We were going No where earlier in the game.

I can see the managers point
Although Im feeling we are going to go 1-0 down in a game and not come back
We looked better when Robinson came on but the Blackburn goal was hardly under siege
Teams are going to protect a 1-0 lead in the last 15 minutes

We definitely need someone who can hold up play as we concede possession far too easily.
As much as I’m frustrated with Ugbo, he’s not a target man capable of winning headers and bringing others into play.
That said, I’m still excited about the rest of the season and if Siopis and Goutas are anything to go by, I look forward to who comes in next.

He's right.

Seems some people would rather us go all out attack from the start and find ourselves 3-0 down at half time, because that's what would happen.

I believe the manager is right. I also think we were a little unlucky to lose, we put in a decent performance.

We are two points off the play-offs after 12 games. I honestly don't know what people expected when we still couldn't spend money in the summer.

You say we are failing to score but that was one of only two games we've failed to score in all season.

We had more shots than Blackburn so are creating chances.

People go on about Colwill, but he was awful when he came on and showed why the manager is right.

Robinson did alright, but they both need to be like Tanner and take his comments on board.

The vast majority of our fan base know that Bulut is right.

Don't agree that Blackburn are a poor side, they only just missed out on the top six last season.

But I do agree we should be looking to win tomorrow, anything else would be disappointing there.

No one is saying go all out attack from the first second.

Colwill , Bulut said that Page should start Colwill every game as he would do in his position??

Robinson we looked good upfront when he came on.

It’s a results game , at the moment, not a win in 4 games.

We have to gear Huddersfield and they really are there for the taking.

Seems the majority of posters on this thread believe that Bulut needs to let our creative players off the leash.

He does need to take more risk and get on the front foot from the outset. No-one ever won a championship by being so stubbornly defensive minded.

If Bulut isn't prepared to take risks from the start of matches with his personnel then we are in for a boring and slightly painful season.

The players will suss him out if he doesn't trust some of them.

I'm backing the gaffer to get it right long term.If Bulut plays Robbo from the start then it'll be because he wants to.

He's right.

.....but we lost again.

We have lost 2 and drawn 1 of our last 3 games in which we scored 1 goal and conceded 4 and had a total of 7 shots on target. In these 3 games Wintle, a defensive midfielder, started as a No. 10

I know it's all about opinion but how can you say he's right. For me the above stats say opposite. He's setting up a defensive team from the start and every opposition now knows this before a ball is kicked.

We have to start with a more attacking team, definitely at home and some away including Huddersfield tomorrow. Believe in ourselves and go for it from the first minute. If we are winning after 60-70 mins, then bring on Wintle or Adams for Robinson. If we are losing, then substitute the attacking players, we have lots of options in the front four.

You're bang on. Seems Erol is more scared of losing than going for the throat from the start. As you said our stats in past 4 games evidence this.

We are starting matches far too cautious and letting the opposition get a foothold in the match and eventually they'll score.

We need to start finding the net again and that's only going to happen if he gets some pace, guile and creativity up front.

That's what Ipwich do - they have a right crack from the start and look where its got them.

He's right.

Just because we lost it doesn't make the manager wrong, nor does it make him right when we win.

I think we were unlucky to lose.

Blackburn have very good attacking players, so I believe it would have been self destructive if we'd started with a very attacking line up.

I also haven't seen anything from Colwill to warrant a start this season. Robinson maybe has something add but I still have concerns about his work rate.

However, I do agree that we shouldn't sit back tomorrow. Huddersfield are a poor team that we should be expecting to beat. Would like us to be more attack minded.

Erol try picking an attacking team. Thought you were a winner.
