:bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluebird: EROL BULUT UPDATES CARDIFF CITY FANS :bluebird: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:


Thursday 30th November 2023

After quite a dire last home performance and 2 home defeats in a row, Bulut takes his Bluebirds to Southampton this Saturday.





You have a target?

"I have but I will not mention it!"

Erol Bulut




Finances a problem for January ?

“It can be.”

Erol Bulut




Foreign signings in January?

“We made in the summer nine transfers. They help us a lot. Defensive and offensive players. We are not only looking in the Turkish Superlig. OK we have Siopis and Goutas, and we have our eyes and ears there, if we can get some quality there but we are also looking in the UK market.”

Erol Bulut




EROL BULUT:



January?

"I hope that we can make something in the market. What we need and if we can do it in January, those three or four players. I think we can push for more."

Erol Bulut









O’Dowda and Ramsey - still new year?

"O’Dowda, I saw him running next to us today! I was surprised! I hope before the new year that we can get at least one of those guys in."

Erol Bulut




“ READ ALL EROL BULUTS UPDATES BELOW “





Erol Bulut on the injured players:


“Ramsey he’s getting stronger and fitter, hopefully we will get him back on the pitch soon.”

"O’Dowda, I saw him running next to us today! I was surprised! I hope before the new year that we can get at least one of those guys in”

“I won’t rush both of them back, they are running well.”


So far:

And not back till at least January:

In 20 League and Cup appearances Ramsey has only made 6 appearances for Cardiff City this season.

O’Dowda In 20 League and Cup appearances this season has played even less, just 4 appearances.

EROL BULUT:


It’s a tough run of games, but you understand where Cardiff were last season compared to now?

"This is a good test for my players and for me, to play against quality, good teams. Also financially they are in front of us, what they spend and what they have. They were also in a different position to Cardiff last season!

"We have progressed a lot from last season to today, but we will not stop. We will continue to believe in ourselves, our game and our target."

EROL BULUT:


Southampton's style?

"They make a lot of rotations in midfield. Sometimes they play with a diamond, a back three, there are always movements in front and they are really good. Last year they were in the Premier League, they have quality players. They didn’t start well but are getting to where they want to be. It will be a tough game.

"Our games against these types of teams, Leeds, Leicester, West Brom, Norwich, we never give up against those teams. We could have won those games. But there was a bit of luck and perhaps a bit of quality shows the difference."

Robinson talking about not fearing Southampton - your winning instinct rubbing off on them?

"I think so. We fear nobody. Which team should we fear? We know the qualities of the teams and their players, but everything is on the field. With hard work on the field, we don’t have to fear anybody.

"There are only small details. There are better players that they have, substitutions they can make. I don’t have that sometimes. I put everything in offensively that we have."

Attack-minded coach?

"Yes. I was always like that. At least no one can say to me that I didn’t try. I am not the coach that when I am leading to put a centre-back on. I will put a striker on. Or a midfielder on."

Need to convert close games into wins?

"Yes. These are the details. We are shooting 10 or 15 times more than the opponents. But they have the quality and they are scoring.

"From January I hope we can make the attack better. In the following years Cardiff have to build on it."

Fan of Martin style of football?

"There's a lot of short passes. Quick passes. One touch, two touches. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes they try to bring the opponent really tight and to use wingers to come behind the defence. Sometimes it works. In the Championship it works, sometimes. Brighton play similarly, quick passes in the build-up with good players.

"It’s also important how much the opponent allows you to play like that.

"Sometimes, to have 60/70% control of the ball, it doesn’t mean you win the game. Sometimes you control the game and lose the game! Sometimes you have more shots and have mistakes and lose."

Excited about January?

“What is the perfect squad? It’s difficult. Today it could be perfect, tomorrow not. I have in my mind what kind of players I want and what kind of squad I want. But from yesterday to today we did good things, and it’s a big step for the player and the club. When I think back, players didn’t want to sign or continue but all those issues we don’t have now. We have to put the level higher. No our level is already a level up so some players will have a problem with that and we need to go up another level.”

Track record earn trust?

“Sometimes it can also be one good player in the Turkish Superlig or Bundesliga cannot settle here, so it can go the opposite way. Most of the players have helped us well. All my networks are in Turkey and Europe, I’ve tried to use and bring players to the board. Our recruitment team is also working on bringing players in. Finances will be a key point for us, what we can do. I hope we can spend money on those players.”

Wages abroad similar?

“Turkey, I can compare with Turkish Superlig. For them, nearly the same wages. Fenerbahce, Galatasaray etc can pay more but I think the other teams are similar wages.”

McGuinness fit but light at centre-back?

“In that position, we don’t have enough players. We took Panzo so he had a few friendly matches but he wasn’t fit enough to use him. He’s getting better but still we have a small issue with the centre-back position. One player being unavailable means I have to make a few changes.”

After being angry after West Brom, what are your reflections now?

"I watched the game. It was a good game. It was a typical draw game, both sides didn’t create so much. We had one or two chances, like with Josh Bowler, if we scored that maybe the game would be different.

"Against the ball we were good against a good West Brom team. They are a quality team. Even the defensive shape. But last game, we didn’t see a big difference in quality between West Brom and our team. I had some players not in the team, JC wasn’t in the team, so I had to change players. KG, too. If I had them, maybe the game would be different. But we don’t know that. This happens, injuries happen and I will not cry now because some players were injured and I had to change some positions. We tried to make the best on the day. They had a great shot from the winger and they scored. We had one with Bowler and didn’t score. This happens. We take the positive things and continue in a positive way.

"We have a tough game in Southampton and have to be prepared for that."

Players leaving?

“I didn’t speak with them recently but I spoke with them in the summer. They didn’t find anything so for sure we will have discussions with a few players. They want to play so it would be better for them to leave, either on loan or permanently.”

Sawyers, Rinhomota and Adams?

“I don’t know what they think. Nobody is happy when they’re not playing. As a manager, I have to create my team better, to get quality players in who I think will help take the club forward.”

A good positive update from Bulut again today.

Says he hopes to have at least one of Ramsey or O’Dowda back before the new year.

Very open talking about transfers, I think a few are already as good as done.

Says again he always wants to win, which Robinson has backed him up on.

Like he says, we need to try and stay as close to the top six as possible - but a tough game this weekend.

Sawyers, Rinhomota and Adams not deemed good enough by the Gaffer .Fair play you need balls of steel to be a good manager and if he get better than those in Jan we'll have a bloody good side.

O’Dowda In 20 League and Cup appearances this season has played even less, just 4 appearances.

Very positive from Bulut.


He’s also happy with the 9 New players he brought in.

As to Sawyers we tried to off load him.


And as to Adams, I got slated when I did not agree he was good enough for the Championship from Forest Green.



Bulut has Collins and Grant back after Suspension and not allowed.

No other injuries other than usual 2 below.

Bulut has been very fortunate that 95% of the squad have been available for the league games.

Bulut also says he’s very happy with his 9 New players he brought in this Summer.
