MY OPINION: BULUT A BLEATER ? : Everyone knows that

MY OPINION:


BULUT A BLEATER ? :

Everyone knows that I am a Bulut advocate and fan , but this does not stop me from seeing his faults and his weaknesses .

One thing I really hate about him is that he is one hell of a moaner ! He only sees with one eye ….a one eyed Jack.


There is almost always an excuse when we lose . When we win it is always deserved and when we lose there is always an excuse


So Bulut says we lost to WBA because the ref did not give us a penalty ? …..was it indeed a penalty ?


The truth is that we lost a dull game in which both clubs played way below their potential.
We lost partly and possibly because Bulut inexplicably is picking Runnarsson ahead of Alnwick , or because of playing Romeo who was being skinned by their goal scorer , or because Meite was subbed when he was being a handful and playing well all afternoon.


WBA did not win because their strike was a fluke and they got lucky as Bulut says. Yes it was a poor game , but to be honest , if one of the teams had to win then WBA were better than us particularly the second half .



Luck and good calls and bad calls by the referee even themselves over the course of a season .

For example last week against Preston Jamilu Collins should have been sent off for a head butt (I bet most people would agree on that) .Our first goal was a deflection .

The nine minutes added were well…… on the fortuitous side. Their man was deservedly sent off but this sending off gave us an advantage for over 45 minutes .



The point I am making is that we got 3 points vs Preston due to calls made by the referee …..that on the day were favorable to us .

So Bulut stop moaning and complaining … we get our fair share of luck and good calls as well . You are doing a good job and fans are appreciating your ability ….. do not mar that and damage it by moaning about luck and referees.


If you do not heed this advice , soon you will be called “BLEATING BULUT” ! Do not let yourself down you are better than that.


Blaming Refs / Saying it’s a lucky goal.

Remember this decisions / so called luck etc etc over a season evens out.

I believe he's good at deflecting. Which is what all the best managers in the world do. You look at the best of the best of recent, they are all good at this.

I'm a massive fan of bulut by the way. I think given time and hopefully money in Jan he could become the best manager we've had, honestly feel this strong about it.

Most managers give a biased account of match incidents in their teams favour especially when they lose.
Erol is no different. Some of the greats like Fergie or Wenger were similar. They could see no fault in their own teams when they lost.
I take all this with a 'pinch of salt'
What will be important to me is which players he targets in the next two transfer windows to mould us into a good team.
If he turns us into a top six team with consistency and a realistic chance of promotion, he can moan and whinge all he likes.
Otherwise, if we make no progress, it's on to the next manager.

What he says to the media and the team are totally different. He knows we are not good enough to compete at the top of the table right now but he always comes across as a man with a plan. Doing a fantastic job for me

What do you want him to say

Robbo is a big girls blouse
Tanner isn't anywhere near a championship starter
Meite is a great lad but never a centre forward
Sawyers,Adams and Riminhota will only ever come on if I am desperate
Etete is always going to struggle when he meets championship centre halfs at this stage of his career
No Idea why i am starting Runnarson
We should never have left Bagan leave
Christ, I can't wait for Vinny to get his cheque book out


So he blames the ref who had a fair game and says there was not much in it and WBA are a solid team who scored with a lucky wonder strike strike

Name me a manager that doesn't moan a bit after a defeat! I think he's balanced in most press conferences and is doing a great job so far with a squad that is talented but doesn't have any depth. For me the bleaters are the fans who always blame the manager after every defeat regardless of the actual game. I can't think of anything the manager could have done majorly different to affect the result last night. Bulut is a good manager and we are lucky to have him after two years of utter garbage.

I think it's good a manager doesn't accept defeat graciously; but a little humility helps...! :ayatollah:

Mind you, there's some on here could give him a run for his money in the 'whinge after a defeat' stakes; and NegativeNinian27 immediately springs to mind... :roll:

Last time I checked (haven't today)we were 8th in the table rather than 18th so he can complain all he wants to as far as I'm concerned.

A lot on here were complaining when he singled out our own players for criticism and now the same people are complaining about him blaming the ref.

I think he's doing a great job. Still feel that he's finding his feet in the championship but it's so nice to have someone at the helm with experience at last (albeit it's all from abroad).

I don't think the goal was luck, it was a bl00dy great strike. Although Bowler for me could have made a bit more of an effort to get a foot or block in.

What's amazing is how much we compete. West Brom are a quality side with a quality manager, yet we made a game of it and it took a wonder goal to beat us. Plus, how many teams have beaten us by more than 1 goal this season.

It's just so nice to feel positive about Cardiff City for a change, play offs or no play off's. Relegation is a thing of the past...so for me, bleat away Mr Bulut!!!

Compared to previous mangers like Harris, Bulut is much more honest and yes he does moan when we lose but he also does accept when we deserve to lose.
Bulut does however need to look at himself as dropping Alnwick is inexplicable

Warnock and Mackay did this after virtually every game they didn’t win.

Klopp, Pepe consistently blame VAR.

Look at some of the things that opposing managers have said when we beat them this season.

Bulut is no worse than any other manager and right now he isn’t making many mistakes.
