‘ It all started here / After nearly five months ‘

Sun Mar 10, 2024 10:33 am

It all started and changed v Blackburn home when Erol Bulut said we had “lacked confidence and belief in ourselves” and from this game he said we would only get better again after nearly five months of awful results and dire football:

How things can change so quickly, City we’re sliding down the table fast now, they are now 5 pts better off than this stage last season with still 9 games to go and could finish in the Top 8.

Bulut has to be given a New 1 year contract as we need need stability and Bulut this time needs fully backing by the board this Summer.

Bulut needs to be told now that he will be here next season.

Bulut has the backbone now of a good squad already for next season, another 4-5 players including a striker and play-offs will be the minimum we go for.

Yesterday was the best performance I have seen from city in a while and let's hope it continues

Wilson-Esbrand may not be the quickest player but the difference he makes compared to Collins is huge

I think Wilson-Estrand has been the key signing. He's just slotted in place and the whole defence and midfield seem so much better for it.

Other players are no longer worried about helping to cover that position and can just concentrate on their own responsibilities.

Can't wait for the swans now. I was dreading facing them a few weeks ago!!!

He is quality, mate. And it was great to see him getting forward so much yesterday.

I think your spot on.

Imagine if Bulut had got the other 3-4 players he had originally targeted to get.

I want to see Bulut fully backed this Summer and then we can see if Bulut can really take us places?

As a Man City product, he’s probably been taught to slot into midfield as a fullback, which suits Bulut. Shows how the correct players make a difference.

Must point out that we are 5pts better off now than we were at the end of last season with 9 games to go and not 5 points better off at the same time as last season
