Bulut

[Eric the Half a Bee]

It was interesting to hear Ian Walsh and Nathan Blake on Call Rob. Neither had much positive to say about Bulut. Both were critical of Bulut for moaning about the team being passive in the first half, yet said that's how Bulut would have had them training in the week and how he would have set them up. Walsh mentioned that Bulut says the same things every week but nothing ever seems to get done about the problems he mentions.

The first 45 minutes was not totally how we trained and what we worked on.” Erol began. “One day before the game, everything was clear on how we wanted to face the opponent, but it didn’t work.

“We faced the opponent in our own half, which is what I didn’t want from the team. From 20-25 minutes in Hull’s half, we should press and try to put the pressure on them to make mistakes. When you don’t press well and the opponent is also a good passing team, they can escape from this pressure.

You've had 40 games to sort out how your team should play and they are still all over the place. Bulut out

What has Bulut done since the first few months of the season to make anyone think he's worthy of another year?

Who is he talking about though?

Meite? Big lad who is not designed to press
Bowler ? Physically not great and not blessed with courage
Grant, worked his nuts off as a second full back
Turnbull, It can't have escaped Bulut that Turnbull must come last in team sprints but a considerable distance
Ralls - Won everything he had to win
Siopis - so deep and just gave the ball away

So who is he talking about not pressing?

Blakey also made the point that if things aren't going as Bulut planned, why wasn't he telling the players during the game?

Made me laugh that he was and that cost us a goal lol.

It's a desperate comment by Bulut, either he's saying that he can't get his tactical plan through to his players, or he doesn't have the players to do it but tries to get them playing that way anyway, I'm not sure which is worse for him but neither is good. Not sure if it's the latest in his post match excuses or if he's finally worn down enough to be honest.

Either way, it seems like his time could well be winding down, Tan doesn't seem like he really wants to give him an extension and recent home performances and attendances won't help, doubt he's too impressed by Bulut trying to negotiate through the press recently either. Let's spin the manager lottery wheel again?

[JumpersforGoalposts]

At best he is saying the players don't follow his instructions, at worst they just don't want to play for him.
Tan has two options as a consequence, change all the players or change the manager.

Option 3 change the ****ing lot including the board.

Bulut hasn't done a bad job, but does anybody really think he is the manager to take us forward.

Those defending him, appears to believe that he deserves a contract because he's done a better job than Hudson and Lamouchi. His win/draw/loss ratio is exactly the same as Morrison, in exactly the same number of games. He has an inferior record to McCarthy and Harris.

We have lost exactly the same amount of games as we did under Morrison, but appear to have an inability to draw a match. A lot of Morrisons defeats were where we could consider ourselves unlucky. When we lose under Bulut it is normally when we have been totally uncompetitive and lifeless and we lose comfortably (the early season losses to Leicester and Ipswich probably the exceptions). There have been very few losses where we come away considering ourselves unlucky.

His attitude to the younger players is bewildering. Forgetting his treatment of Rubin Colwill; are Ashford and Joe Colwill going to set a record for most games on a the bench without appearing? It seems that there are no circumstances under which he will bring them on, win, lose or draw. They might as well sell these places on the bench to supporters as part of the match day experience (this is only half-joking).

Good post, you say things a lot better and calmer than I am able to..He hasn't done a bad job but I just don't think hers the one. Like with a woman, if it aint right don't drag it out just give her the boot and move on and stop wasting everyone's time. Fresh break..
