Bulut: are you happy?

“It’s a no from me, I preferred being close to relegation”.

It wasn’t pretty but last season was progress, let’s build on it. Too many fans I feel are a bit entitled and forgetting just how bad it had been over the last few seasons.

Disagree, last season was the worst football, game management, man management, stubborness and predictability I have seen not just 'over the last few seasons' but further back than that. You simply cannot play the modern game with one tactic and refuse to change it when required, that is massively concerning now he has been reappointed. As the worst team in the league by a country mile were smashing five past us all of these symptoms were massively exposed by an already relegated team.

Yes I would have sacrificed a few league positions for on field progress, trying new things, different tactics, more offensive pleasing on the eye transitional play, which admittedly would have come with some defeats but would rather lose 4-3 and 3-2 than lose 3-0 or boring goalless draws. Not once can i recall under Bulut us losing and walking out of the ground, thinking wow we went for it there, what a good account of ourselves we gave there, again, very concerning.

I do not get the love in for him, have our expectations been lowered that much as City fans that we accept this and sing his name? Or is it just the league position he got us to? He got us there with the sixth highest wage bill, yet six places under that, he got us there for reasons other than what his fans perceive as good managerial skills.

Very good Set pieces
A decent start before the whole league worked us out
The poorest league for as long as I can remember, some of our opponents were terrible and we still failed to go for it
Nine points from the worst derby day opposition for many many years
Late goals when a Colwill inspired cavalry decided to rip up Buluts tactic and go for it

All of these things will be likely to have been worked out and diluted this coming season

I fear the season ahead for these reasons, but I will back him from game one, clean slate

Top post mate. Very well summed up and I totally agree.

Yes spot on, how people can say it was progress baffles me. It was piss poor most games, over the season the players had any thinking of front foot football drained from them by bullets tactics. Yes we finished 12th for me the only positive. I was a regular away from home until the Jacks game. That was it for me, piss poor performance and no desire to play for the shirt.

The most points in quite some time, and the highest position in the league for a few years.

That in itself classes as progress of recent seasons in my mind.

In the poorest league in many years with the sixth highest wage bill, a better squad than previous, 12th was poor, would have preffered 16th playing progressive adaptable interchangeable football, Cardiff City fans appreciate good football and that sometimes to introduce a new philosophy and brand you have to take some hits on the journey, losing while scoring, pressing, fighting, trying something different, passing the ball forward to options!!!!! Not expecting Man City, or even Dave Jones side or Ipswich. Just signs of encouragement of adaptability and progressive attacking football. Dont bore or frustrate us Entertain us!
