Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 3:21 pm

Two questions.

1. Do you actually think we’ll win on Sunday?

Because I don’t. Based on what I saw with my own eyes yesterday and, admittedly, at times last season then I would say we are almost certainly going to be beaten convincingly.

2. If we agree we won’t win then why should Bulut be trusted to bring in the right players for the rest of the window?

There’s a serious possibility now that Bulut won’t be the manager for much longer.

He will be fighting for his job on Sunday.

So the argument that he shouldn’t be trusted to bring in new players is a reasonable one.

Although I’m not sure about sacking him now, people could claim that if he went now then a new manager would have time to pick the players to take us forward.



People will say I appear to have suddenly changed my mind on the manager. What I say to that is everyone will have a breaking point when it comes to this manager, yesterday was mine.

I don’t think many fans really believe he will get us back on the right track now. He appears to have learnt nothing about Championship football in over a year.

Think will win Sunday swans no great shakes but we need to start on front foot like did for 1st half yesterday! As for transfer window got to back him otherwise what happens
if win next 3 or 4 games bulut is then left with what he's got? I suppose Always got youngsters as backup if injuries occur!

Do I think we will win on Sunday?
No, although stranger things have happened.

Should we get rid of Bulut now?
No, as I think it's too late into this window for change at this point.
The board decided to give him a contract in the summer, so we have to at least give him the whole transfer window along with a chance to knit the team together.
However, my guess is that he will be gone by October/November if we are anywhere around the bottom three.

Realistically we won't win Sunday. This is the biggest game of their season and it's win at all costs, unfortunately for us it's just another game :banghead:

I was still under the impression the transfer committee dealt with all transfers and Bulut didn't have much say. His latest comment about McGuiness is a good example.

Glad to hear your patience with Bulut has run out. Hats off to you for sticking with him for so long..

1. Just can't see anything other than a defeat - again by at least two goals, maybe more.
2. Don't see the point in sacking him after a loss next Sunday. . Anybody coming in will have less than a week to bring in players from scratch (unless they have links with players the way Warnock did with Bamba and Hoilett) and look at how difficult we've found it this summer to recruit the players that we need.

No - Bulut should have gone after the shambles at Rotherham last season - that's where the major mistake was made.

I say in fairness to him give him six matches. If he hasn't got at least six points by then he needs to go. I actually think that the squad is capable of a mid table finish but talk of top 6 (and even top 2 :laughing6: :laughing6: ) was City fans letting their hearts rule their heads.

But to get to the dizzy heights of mid table it'll need a manager other than Bulut.

And start looking now FFS - not sacking him after six games and then letting Purse f**k things up for another six whilst we look for a replacement!

Agree with most you said, except I want to finish on the front foot. Remember the score Saturday when we started on the front foot didn’t work out to well.

No it didn't but then Horvaths clanger wasn't in the game plan either... but to some it made no difference to the game which I find odd considering the old adage is a goal changed the game. ... which it did so we'll never know what might have happened ..... Will swans be as lucky hope not so on that basis we won't lose

Re: Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 4:19 pm

I think we’ll win :bluescarf:

Re: Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 4:27 pm

Even considering sacking Bulut is absolutely ridiculous…we’ve only played TWO games??

Individual errors have cost us dearly, we’ve played 2 really good teams, the new signings are not up to speed yet and we’ve been shafted by injuries already this season

Everyone needs to calm down and see where we are at the end of October before panicking

For what it’s worth I think we will beat the Jacks

Re: Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 4:57 pm

For me there were 2 major things that happened in the first half that changed the game, the first was the clanger by the keeper & the second was Ralls going off injured as he had been the best player on the pitch until then & was our driving force causing them all sorts of problems. Everything stemmed from those 2 things & we never made a right move after that, everything we did from that point on just compounded the problem.

Also, I have no idea what everyone sees in Colwill, he's just a waste of space with the odd fancy touch & zero end product every time as his decision making is abysmal, always seems to try the most difficult thing to do when something simple is always available.

We gave Bulut a 2 year contract & we have to keep going with him until we've played 10-12 games, 2 games in is way too early to give up on him.

It’s not just 2 games in though is it? He was here last season and for large parts of it, especially the last part, we were totally shite.

We can always sack him and gave his replacement take over? A guy called purse I think! :D

Re: Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 5:05 pm

Q1. We’ll got battered, at least 4:0 and will be 1 down within 15mins
Q2. Bulut should then sacked and he can get the train home from that shithole of a town

Because I’ve seen enough with the style of play, tactics and general energy in the team to know we’re going nowhere. The first 2 games have been awful and there’s worse to come on Sunday. Wake up.

Relax Allan. I pretty sure it was done tongue in cheek. But most here have a more realistic view of things not letting emotions cloud our judgement. Hopefully things will improve but for most of us it doesn’t look like.

Exactly, all too depressing start to the season as we ended it.

Re: Two questions about Sunday and the transfer window

Sun Aug 18, 2024 5:57 pm

I don't think he should be sacked after two games. Even I think that would be ridiculous and I'm not Bulut's greatest fan.

But I wish he would be more expressive and show genuine anger when he's interviewed after a defeat like that. He needs to let it be known that such capitulations will no longer be tolerated. Don't pussy foot around and tell them to forget about it. We won't and I'm pretty sure the board won't either.

You're the last person I expected to read this from.

I think that's exactly what you've done (changing your opinion all of a sudden).

We are two games in. One against a team who are young and full of energy, and regardless of what anyone says, are a good team. Results prove it.

The other is against a team who will walk this division, as they did last time.

You were calling for patience a few weeks ago.

Now that most of this forum want him gone, you have a massive change of heart.

What a coincidence.

Ned Why Is everyone terminal defeatist? They've not exactly pulling trees up .... what's point of playing any more games should tell league we are relegated don't want to waste time playing and waste our fans money as they've stopped supporting
us! Thats what it sounds like

I love your optimism for next Sunday's derby but our resent history against them is awful and that's what most are going off in their predictions.

Simple fact is they take this fixture 100 times more seriously than Cardiff do, from the chairman to the fans it's their must win game of the season. To our club it's just another game. Until our clubs attitude changes we'll continue to lose this derby.

1. Do you actually think we’ll win on Sunday?

Because I don’t. Based on what I saw with my own eyes yesterday and, admittedly, at times last season then I would say we are almost certainly going to be beaten convincingly.

2. If we agree we won’t win then why should Bulut be trusted to bring in the right players for the rest of the window?

There’s a serious possibility now that Bulut won’t be the manager for much longer.

He will be fighting for his job on Sunday.

So the argument that he shouldn’t be trusted to bring in new players is a reasonable one.

Although I’m not sure about sacking him now, people could claim that if he went now then a new manager would have time to pick the players to take us forward.



People will say I appear to have suddenly changed my mind on the manager. What I say to that is everyone will have a breaking point when it comes to this manager, yesterday was mine.

I don’t think many fans really believe he will get us back on the right track now. He appears to have learnt nothing about Championship football in over a year.


1. Nope

2. Bulut is starting to get very annoying blaming everything on not being able to bring the players in he wants. Warnock brought in Hoilett, Bamba, Mendez Laing, Etheridge and Paterson on free transfers and got us promoted. He needs to sort his team set up out first and target some players with pace. It’s that simple

You're the last person I expected to read this from.

I think that's exactly what you've done (changing your opinion all of a sudden).

We are two games in. One against a team who are young and full of energy, and regardless of what anyone says, are a good team. Results prove it.

The other is against a team who will walk this division, as they did last time.

You were calling for patience a few weeks ago.

Now that most of this forum want him gone, you have a massive change of heart.

What a coincidence.


Were you at Burnley?? Did you witness first hand how HIS players through the towel in and just gave in??

Because that’s what exactly happened. That comes from the manager.

By the way, I never follow the crowd as you’re suggesting.

I have stuck by Bulut and would have continued to do so if we’d just lost 3-0 yesterday.

But I’ve changed my mind not because we lost but the way we lost.

It was unacceptable but I know you have a habit of saying anyone who has a different opinion to yourself is “spoilt” and “entitled”.

I wasn't at Burnley, no, I watched it on Cardiff City player, due to work commitments, not that that's any relevance to this thread.

You have followed the sheep. You started a thread saying how we were the better team.

You did the same last week.

All of a sudden a massive change of heart which coincides with the countless threads about how we are shit bla bla bla.

I'll reiterate, we lost to a team who will tear a new one to most teams in this division. They scored 4 against a team who were relegated from the prem last year.

Yes, our fans are entitled. They seem to think we are Real Madrid.

I always do my post match thoughts before I’ve even read anything on the forum.

I didn’t read anything from the time the match kicked off until it finished.

I have my own opinions and these are my opinions.

Did I, in your view, follow the sheep when I stuck up for Bulut last week? No, even though a lot on here were criticising him.

But apparently I am this week because I just happen to now disagree with you :lol: :lol:

But I will always post my true opinion, whether the majority agree or not.
