1. Do you actually think we’ll win on Sunday?

Because I don’t. Based on what I saw with my own eyes yesterday and, admittedly, at times last season then I would say we are almost certainly going to be beaten convincingly.

2. If we agree we won’t win then why should Bulut be trusted to bring in the right players for the rest of the window?

There’s a serious possibility now that Bulut won’t be the manager for much longer.

He will be fighting for his job on Sunday.

So the argument that he shouldn’t be trusted to bring in new players is a reasonable one.

Although I’m not sure about sacking him now, people could claim that if he went now then a new manager would have time to pick the players to take us forward.



People will say I appear to have suddenly changed my mind on the manager. What I say to that is everyone will have a breaking point when it comes to this manager, yesterday was mine.

I don’t think many fans really believe he will get us back on the right track now. He appears to have learnt nothing about Championship football in over a year.


You're the last person I expected to read this from.

I think that's exactly what you've done (changing your opinion all of a sudden).

We are two games in. One against a team who are young and full of energy, and regardless of what anyone says, are a good team. Results prove it.

The other is against a team who will walk this division, as they did last time.

You were calling for patience a few weeks ago.

Now that most of this forum want him gone, you have a massive change of heart.

What a coincidence.


Were you at Burnley?? Did you witness first hand how HIS players through the towel in and just gave in??

Because that’s what exactly happened. That comes from the manager.

By the way, I never follow the crowd as you’re suggesting.

I have stuck by Bulut and would have continued to do so if we’d just lost 3-0 yesterday.

But I’ve changed my mind not because we lost but the way we lost.

It was unacceptable but I know you have a habit of saying anyone who has a different opinion to yourself is “spoilt” and “entitled”.


I wasn't at Burnley, no, I watched it on Cardiff City player, due to work commitments, not that that's any relevance to this thread.

You have followed the sheep. You started a thread saying how we were the better team.

You did the same last week.

All of a sudden a massive change of heart which coincides with the countless threads about how we are shit bla bla bla.

I'll reiterate, we lost to a team who will tear a new one to most teams in this division. They scored 4 against a team who were relegated from the prem last year.

Yes, our fans are entitled. They seem to think we are Real Madrid.


I always do my post match thoughts before I’ve even read anything on the forum.

I didn’t read anything from the time the match kicked off until it finished.

I have my own opinions and these are my opinions.

Did I, in your view, follow the sheep when I stuck up for Bulut last week? No, even though a lot on here were criticising him.

But apparently I am this week because I just happen to now disagree with you :lol: :lol:

But I will always post my true opinion, whether the majority agree or not.


Nothing to do with you agreeing or disagreeing with me. The post below might ring a bell.



"Got to agree, can’t see us winning and Bulut shouldn’t be criticised if we do lose - we’re expected to lose.

Will be going and should be a decent day out but not going there with any expectation."

Funny how things change eh.

No expectation has all of a sudden turned to expectation.

We will agree to disagree.

You’ve omitted my follow up response where I said something like if things go to shit then obviously he can be criticised.

Funny that.

Can't see any follow up response on that thread, but there we are.

I don't mean any offense, just shocked to see that post by you of all people.

Also, I have no idea what everyone sees in Colwill, he's just a waste of space with the odd fancy touch & zero end product every time as his decision making is abysmal, always seems to try the most difficult thing to do when something simple is always available.

We gave Bulut a 2 year contract & we have to keep going with him until we've played 10-12 games, 2 games in is way too early to give up on him.


It’s not just 2 games in though is it? He was here last season and for large parts of it, especially the last part, we were totally shite.


When he had a side that wasn’t his players , apart from 2 , and had us towards top end for a while until injury after f*cking injury ,
Why can’t you just wait and see , you haven’t even seen the new players playing yet and there’s more players to come , wtf


Because I’ve seen enough with the style of play, tactics and general energy in the team to know we’re going nowhere. The first 2 games have been awful and there’s worse to come on Sunday. Wake up.



Don't forget to come back on here and say you were wrong when we win! But won't hold my breath :o


And make sure you come on here and say how right I was. Pretty sure you were positive we’d beat them away last season?
