Erol Bulut says Cardiff City should have won by more as he reveals Robinson delight and dressing room mood
Cardiff City got back to winning ways with a 4-0 thumping of Huddersfield Town.
Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut says the Bluebirds should have won by more after their 4-0 hammering of Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night but says they will remain grounded as they returned to the Championship's play-off places.
Goals from Callum Robinson, Dimi Goutas, Yakou Meïte and Perry Ng tamed the Terriers in Yorkshire in an utterly dominant display which put them back on the winning track following defeat to Blackburn Rovers last weekend.
The Bluebirds have been stifled in front of goal in the last few games but against Darren Moore's men they were ruthless; indeed Bulut believes they should have registered more goals.
The win has moved Cardiff back into the top six but the manager says talk of a play-off push is premature at present.
EROL BULUT:
“It’s too early to talk about that, anything can happen at this stage of the season," he said. “Everything can still change, we’ve still got a long way to go in front of us this season.”
We’ve had really good performances earlier this season and not got the results we’ve deserved. Against Swansea and against Ipswich we played really well, but then last week against Blackburn, that was just what I didn’t want to see.
“Tonight was much more what I expect. Against the ball and with the ball we were so much better, and to be honest, it probably should have been more than four goals we won by.
“I’m satisfied of course, but if we’d have been a bit calmer in front of the goal, we would have scored more. Confidence is great in the dressing room. Defensively we were strong too, and a clean sheet away from home is good. We’ve been good offensively, though, so we need to carry this momentum on now.”
Bulut had mentioned in recent days how he wanted to see more from Robinson, both with and without the ball, and the attacker stepped up to the plate at the John Smith's Stadium, scoring with a deft flick with just 90 seconds on the clock.
After handing the Republic of Ireland striker his first start of the season, the boss revealed his delight with the performance.
"I'm pleased for Callum," Bulut added. "We spoke beforehand about what we need from him. Obviously, in attack we want goals and assists and he scored today. But I'm also pleased with his defensive work. He tired, so we substituted him, but we're hoping to see more goals and assists from him, including with his minutes this weekend.
"Meïte - all of us are happy. He's been trying very hard. I told him to continue working and the goals will come. It's good that he has his first goal for us.“

Meite look a lot sharper than what he has been. Right place right time for his goal but that is what you get when you are fitter.

I have a good feeling regarding our play off chances , although will be happy with a top 10 finish
With Ramsey fit, plus if Bulut brings in anyone close to Manny Siopis's commitment and ability , we will go close to top 6

Sounds like he plans on playing a similar team against Bristol.

Just saw the extended highlights. It's an incredible transformation from last Saturday.
The whole team were not only giving 100% throughout, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves which is a very good sign.
I am growing in confidence that we have a manager who knows how to organise a team.
Now that the injury problems have eased, we appear to have a much stronger, fitter and faster squad than in recent seasons.
I thought Bowler and Robinson looked fresh and full of running. Meite looked a handful up front.
Siopis was immense in midfield and Goutas is such a handful in the air at set pieces. Tanner, a very useful tricky player to have on the bench. But in all honesty the whole squad played well. As the manager pointed out, if we were a bit sharper in front of goal, we could have scored a few more.
If we can avoid further injuries and with three good players in Ramsey, O'Dowda and Etete to return at some stage we all have reasons to be optimistic.
