EROL BULUT:
"Football is not only about scoring and playing offensive football. It's with ball and without ball. Some players like to play with the ball, I appreciate this, but without this they have to work for the team," Bulut said when asked about Robinson off the back of the Irishman's fruitful international break.
"I have problems with some of my players so they have to change it. Both Callum and Rubin are included in this. It’s not enough or what I am expecting from them to be in the starting XI. I cannot play with 10 players. I need 11. We are not a team who has individual, high-class players to change a game, we need all 11 to be successful. If one isn’t included in the game against the ball, it means other players have to run and fight much more. It doesn’t make sense, everyone has to work."
"With Rubin, I spoke and he understands, he is a young player," Bulut added. "Robbo, he is quality. I like what he showed in pre-season, in the games, but if I see the last two games of Robinson, I cannot say that I am satisfied. I will also have a meeting with him, he just came today so I am going to have a meeting tomorrow to tell him what I am expecting of him. Sometimes players forget.
"Because I need him. I don’t have Ramsey. Rubin and Robbo can play there. Rubin is young, Robbo is experienced. But if Robbo wants to play he has to give everything for the team like other players. I won’t appreciate it if they don’t give everything for the team."
Cardiff return to Championship action this weekend against Blackburn Rovers and there is positive news on the injury front, with Yakou Meite, who was expected to be out for a month with a hamstring injury, available for the trip to Ewood Park. Jamilu Collins, who pulled out of duty with Nigeria during the international break, is also available, while Ramsey, Callum O'Dowda and Kion Etete remain absent.
