“ READ ALL EROL BULUTS UPDATES


You’ve made a big impact?

I don’t know. At the start of the season we spoke a lot. I tried to give them all positive things, what I was feeling and how I saw the team in pre-season when we trained together. When you believe in many things, everything is possible. Sometimes the opponent has better quality than you, but belief is one of the most important

EROL BULUT:



Injuries - lengthy list - Aaron Ramsey?




Today, I will tell you more things about injuries. Aaron, hopefully without surgery - he will not have surgery - he will be out eight to 10 weeks. If he gets surgery, it will add 12 weeks.

Bulut





Good news:

Collins?

He will be available. That’s why we protected him in the last game. It was a big risk that he would get injured, so that’s why we left him.

EROL BULUT:


Great start, disappointing defeat, learn more about players after a defeat?




Of course. For the start, we didn’t know each other. The players didn’t know me, I didn’t know them really well. We have grown close to each other over the weeks. When we see right now where we are, we can be satisfied with our performance and the way we made the transfers, because we had the punishment and could only make free transfers. It wasn’t easy. It was a lot of work, especially for me when I was talking to the players individually. Right now, where we are, we can be satisfied.

Game on Saturday, what do you expect from Watford?




How they started was good, but then they didn’t go well. If they have reasons for that I don’t know. But we will take it seriously. It will not be easy. It will be hard work. We will have to see our squad, we have a few injuries, that’s our handicap right now. We have to manage it at the weekend to get the points here and go into the international break.

RAMSEY:

Huge blow?

For sure. You could see, when he was on the field, he was great. He linked the game. We will miss him. But we have to continue without him.

We also have (Callum) O’Dowda, he will be away 10 to 12 weeks. Because he had surgery because of his tendon. Yakou Meite (hamstring) for a month and Kion Etete (hamstring) for a month also, from the last game. Four main players I cannot use.

Josh Bowler came back and trained with us. This is a positive aspect. This is now the situation with the injuries.

International break a good time?



For sure! But even the two weeks won’t help to get them back. We have to go into the break with a positive result. The fans push us at home. I hope the fans will help us perform well to get us three points.

All the players will have to be ready. We have 25 players including goalkeepers. Everyone has to be ready, even some of the young players who have been training with us have to be ready. Now the time has come where we have to count on the players, so they have to show it now on the field.

O’Dowda, important last year, big blow too?



We saw at the start of the season what he gave us. We will miss him. But on the other side we have to push our players who haven’t played so much. Now they will get their chances to perform.

About that, I don’t want to talk too much. It was the decision of the club. Now it’s to the FA, that’s all I can say.

Injuries a big hindrance?

That’s football. We had to travel and Etete got injured because of that. It’s important to have rest. It’s time for players who didn’t play to show the quality.

What did you see in your team after the game at Boro, what was their reaction?



I spoke to them about positive things, this I can say. Because the first half in Middlesbrough was more tactical. Until the first goal we had two chances to lead! If we can score one of those I think the game will be different. It hurts when you get a goal from offside.

Watford, strange club for a number of years, but they have a good side



I think if the club wants to give a message to the players, they renewed the coach’s contract. I know him from Besiktas. Sometimes you can lose a few games in a row. But we have to look at ourselves and give 100 percent on the field.

“Ramsey is out for 8-12 weeks from now.”

But on the other side we have to push our players who haven’t played so much. Now they will get their chances to perform."

And to add insult to injury, Yakou Meite and Kion Etete are set for a month out with hamstring injuries. Meite picked up his against Rotherham United last weekend, while Etete hobbled off in the defeat at Middlesbrough in midweek. "Yakou Meite will be away for a month and Kion Etete also for a month, from the last game. So I have four main players from the squad I cannot use," Bulut added.

Aaron Ramsey will be out for 3 months:

Erol Bulut has issued a miserable Cardiff City injury update in which he stated that Aaron Ramsey will be out for at least two months, which means the Wales captain will miss the rest of the qualifying campaign.

Wales manager Rob Page on Wednesday said he was "confident" Ramsey, 32, would be available for the national team's November camp, after it was confirmed he was out of next week's games against Gibraltar and Croatia. However, Bulut has bad news for Cardiff fans, confirming he would be out for eight to 10 weeks, without surgery, due to his knee injury, however if he does go under the knife it will add a further three months to his recovery.

"Today I will tell you a little bit more about injuries. Aaron, we were talking about how many weeks he would be out, we were waiting also. But hopefully without surgery, he will be out at least eight to 10 weeks. If he does get surgery, it will be up to 12 weeks. If something happens in these weeks, it will add 12 weeks." Bulut said on Thursday afternoon.

Strange that Page said Ramsey will be available for November but Bulut says he's back in December at the earliest.

We knew he would be missing for a while, glad it's not the whole season. We will have to make do without him.

Pleased that Collins is back, missed him a lot on Tuesday.

I guessed O'Dowda would be out for a while as there hadn't been any news.

Did hear Bowler could be back for Watford and Bulut says he is training again.

Bulut to talk with Nigeria boss

Erol Bulut says he is considering speaking with Nigeria's manager over Jamilu Collins' workload over the international break.

Collins missed the midweek defeat by Middlesbrough after picking up a knock against Rotherham United last weekend. However, Cardiff boss Bulut said Collins is back for the clash with Watford this Saturday before he jets off for international duty with Nigeria next week.

Nigeria take on Saudi Arabi and Mozambique in two friendlies over the international break, but Bulut believes the left-back is probably deserving of a break after his heavy workload following his return from a year out with an ACL tear.


"We have a few international players. With JC I had a talk because he had an injury. Now he will have the international games, so we have to see how we have to handle it," Bulut said of Collins.

"Maybe I have to talk with the national team manager, because he will get injured. Neither side wants that. The club doesn't need it, the national team doesn't need it, we have to protect him."

Dimitrios Goutas missed out on a Greece call-up, however Manolis Siopis did get the nod. Bulut reckons Goutas, who was named in the official Championship team of the week despite losing 2-0 on Teesside, is deserving of a national team call-up.


"We have to respect the decision of the manager of the national team. But what he has shown until now is that he could be in the (Greece) squad," the Bluebirds boss said of the centre-back.

Ollie Tanner signs contract extension with Cardiff City



Ollie Tanner has signed a three year contract extension with the Bluebirds, keeping him at the Club until 2027.

The winger made the move to the Welsh capital in May 2022 from Lewes, having also featured at youth level for Charlton Athletic and Arsenal, before featuring at senior level for National League side Bromley.

Tanner has made 11 appearances for the Bluebirds this season, making his first Sky Bet Championship start against Ipswich Town last month.

The 21-year-old netted his first City goal in some style, finding the bottom corner with a fine strike in the South Wales derby against Swansea City, before winning a penalty, which Aaron Ramsey converted to seal a 2-0 win.

Yakou Meite has been plagued by injuries for the last two seasons and is currently injured again with a hamstring injury which will keep him out till November.
Meite since the pre-season in Portugal with Cardiff has also been plagued with on and off injuries.



Kion Etete who has found great form this season under Erol Bukut is also out for a month with a hamstring injury.
