MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING”

Where is this fight Bulut promised us?

We cave in to easy.

We defend awful and against mediocre teams.

We keep losing to team after team and the manner if the defeats are becoming depressing.

10pts from 33pts.


BULUTS TACTICS ARE ALSO VERY QUESTIONABLE??

We looked awful once again.


Forget 6th place, mid table best.

The loyal 1,733 Cardiff fans who travelled deserve better.







FIRST-HALF: City passed well, head the ball well then one sloppy mistake 1-1.

10mins: The ball dropped in the Plymouth box from a City corner, with Ng reacting first and firing home! Yes 1nil City.

32mins: 32 mins:Hardie had a chance that was blocked, but Cardiff didn't clear their lines, and Devine retrieved the ball. Helped by Miller's decoy run, Devine crossed low and Hardie deftly diverted into the corner. 1-1




SECOND-HALF: 46th min:
A change for City at the break, with Mahlon Romeo replacing Ollie Tanner.

53 minn Some goal, that. A low cross from Whittaker from the right wing reached Hardie in the area, but with his back to goal. His first touch was sublime then, still from a tight angle, he lashed home. 2-1
But Cardiff gave the ball away twice before they scored.


65th Mim Double Sub: @JoshBowler10 replaces @andyrinomhota @kion_etete is also on, with @Yaks75 departing.

81st min: 81 - Goal. Plymouth score on the counter-attack. (3-1)

Its been depressing for a few games and it does not look like its going to stop.

It would be nice for us to play 90 minutes. What has happened since the good start to the season we had. I hear people say we are in a transition/rebuild but if that is so we have got it all wrong.

Time to start again.

Quite happy with mid table this season.. that’ll be a job well done.

I don’t care what anyone on here says, Erol Bulut is NOT the man for Cardiff. We are abysmal!

Neil Warnock would get a tune out of this lot!

Timid and gutless

Players not putting a shift in is just unacceptable!!

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:58 pm

Really makes me think if the first half of the season was a fluke! :shock:

I can honestly see nobody coming in for us. 11 days to go. I hope I'm proved wrong.

Once again, don’t think it’s his tactics that are the issue.

We started today on the front foot, pressed and were in control for 20 minutes.
Plymouth scored, and our heads went down.
Seems to be the same pattern occurring. We concede a goal, and heads go down.

This team has absolutely no leadership throughout. Bulut needs to sign at least 2 or 3 players that can stand up and lead this team.

Hopefully this today shows Tan players need to be signed no matter what, and it gets sorted in the next few days!

This is now hugely concerning.
Pretty much relegation form from us.
Nothing is changing from match to match. Is Bulut the man to turn this around? I'm doubtful at the moment.

We're getting predictable in a bad way. We can't score from open play and defensively getting worse by the week.

Gap between City and bottom 3 reduced again today. Do we have it in us to get the points for safety?

Once confidence goes, you're in free fall and its difficult to get out of that rut.

:laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:

What age does Warnock need to be before he's out of the frame.


For me, Bulut needs at least 2 windows (and to be backed) otherwise he's just another one on the conveyor belt of managers trying to get this shite squad playing. Lets be absolutely crazy and let a manager have more than 6 months?

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

I have started to look down the table to the gap to the bottom 3. Relegation fight more likely than a play off place beckons :oops:

We have no chance of staying in mid table. We are very lucky we accumulated points earlier in the season, but from the last 10 games we are 4th from bottom. I don't think Bulut is the man to take us forward any more. He's not getting a tune out of them and I actually think the current team is as bad as we were last season. Not really sure where the 4 wins we need will come from at the moment.

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:03 pm

It's depressing because we've had 2 and half years of this. People will call for Bulut to be sacked tonight but that's not the answer. Yes he deserves some criticism but that squad is not good enough and desperately needs fresh faces. Changing manager every five minutes is not the answer. We have to build a squad that can challenge next year and we need two or three windows to achieve that keeping with one manager. This window is crucial now, we have to have new faces. The target should then be get to 50 points and improve the quality of our play. Forget the play offs, we were never in the frame for this.

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Side ways pasing no penetration poor defending no belief its just flat its very dire .Bulut has to bring back the early season spark that we started the season with .


Also when a club isnt work as one all together you will never achieve on the field.
I just feel its to do with off the field as much as on it .


Unless the clu work together with a clear direction and plan nothing will change .


Sack bulut because results arnt good just like all the other managers and what will change nothing .
These .managers need to no what is happening in the club pep couldn't work in that environment.
Seems to me we do have people that want to move forward and change this for the better but one man stops every thing from happening thats how i feel with it all i may be wrong but thats my feeling .
Unless he changes nothing will improve for us

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:04 pm

On another note I can't believe that some really think we're safe in midtable with current form! There's a long way to go.

I’m not saying to bring him back. But he’d have you in a frame of mind where you’d die for him on that pitch.

There is no fight or backbone in this side. I’ve been looking after my daughter today who’s poorly so my ticket went to waste. I cannot wait for the Preston game in a few week! Some of these players need to hear from fans who don’t want selfies! Absolutely no fight or desire for the club! Just picking up a pay packet and that stems from poor management.

Agreed. There is one "character" in our 11 and thats NG. Softest squad we've had for years.

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Glad Tan was not taking notice and giving the manager more than 12 month contract. The fall of performances for 3 months has been unacceptable.

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:07 pm

A crap team? A crap manager?? A crap owner and board??? Any sign of any new players coming in???
Next season, wherever we are,, fans are going to vote with their feet!

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:08 pm

People say Bulut may walk. He may not have the choice. Having said that if the board won't back the manager we can forget it. Pep couldn't work under this board.

Well, when you take into account those four straight wins, you could argue a point... :ayatollah:

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Although some of Bulut’s tactics have been questionable, I kind of feel sorry for him. The board hasn’t backed him, we only brought in one quality player in Ramsey and he pretty much pushed for the move, and is out injured. We done well to get close to the playoffs around December with the players we got and the board should have had new players lined up after Christmas. We are just slowly sinking now, and I’m sure the board will just be happy for us to survive another season without having buy anyone.

how do you know the board hasn't backed him? Maybe nobody worth paying for wants to join Cardiff City or does that not even occur to you and going straight to blaming the board is the answer to everything.

I'm glad you're not making the calls, as that is the difference between nothing and £millions to pay off his contract.

He’s out of contract at the end of the season. I don’t think it’s millions.

As unimpressed as I am by Bulut's managerial and coaching skills I believe the board has no option but to back him during this window. If he does get a few new players signed up and there is still no discernable improvement to the team's performance, I fear his time here may be limited.

Re: MY VIEW: “ ITS STARTING TO BECOME DEPRESSING” Where is

Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:34 pm

Tbh it was dire but I've become amune to the tactical changes at half time then within 2 mins you could see the new shape wasn't working so he waited untill 60 mins to change it for a 2nd time and it still wasnt working. We could of lost 5-1 or 6-1 today vs Plymouth :shock:

The players ain't up to pushing on and that's the bottom line the manager has to work with what he got landed on him although if this continues then he will either get the chop or the board will chop him even though he's had zero to spend so far and we are what 10 days away from the transfer window closing. He's stated 100 times what we need so don't expect miracles folks when he don't get them.

There's no drive anymore we need like he said 6 new faces atleast if that don't happen it's just a case of slipping down and down imo. I knew we would lose today so that says it all about this squad.

Eitherway we go again vs Watford next weekend and I don't expect anything there.
