I don't know bulut of course but a feel he is stubborn and pig headed.

Bulut, I don’t need an Excel spreadsheet to tell me you haven’t got a bloody clue.

To be fair I thought Willock, Robertson and Ramsey were pretty anonymous - Ramsey as usual particularly so. O'Dowda and Ng were poor and both looked devoid of confidence, and whilst Kanga put a shift in, neither he or Meite ever looked a threat. The team looks a mess and for me there are signs the players are getting frustrated. If Bulut isn't sacked soon, I have a feeling the players will make sure he is..

Agree, in the first half Siopis looked like he was playing in midfield on his own. He made a lot of mistakes 2nd half but I agree with citizens nephew he was okay in the first half

I don’t agree Kanga put a shift in, I thought it was a terrible performance, I know he had little service but he didn’t go looking for the ball, didn’t find space, didn’t close down, yet again he contributed absolutely nothing, save one or two awful touches on the ball. Same with Meite, how they both started again today after that shocking performance against Swansea last week defies belief.

NG looks like he doesn’t want to be here, O Dowda is not a full back and Ramsey should be playing deeper with Robertson further forward and it makes sense to sub Ramsey rather than leave him on for 90 minutes every game

I and many around me were bored watching our team . We played well for just a 4/5 minute period after half time when Ramsey was unlucky not to score. Then we took a shocking short corner , lost the ball and that was it.

It was criminal not to bring Robinson on earlier

The one bright spark was Daland and knowing Cardiff city he will now be out injured for months!

I think Bulut has lost the players, heads dropped again after the 2nd goal went in.

I can’t believe players such as Chambers and Willock can be as poor as I’m seeing , they all look devoid of confidence.

We have no defined style of play, it’s just defensive but conceding a lot of goals .

Bearing in mind our form over the last half of last season Bulut has to go

Sorry, needed to rant 😂

Bulut's post match comments.

"Maybe we have to speak now about statistics of individual players"

"Four games we've played. Now I will look at the statistics "

“How we spoke always about statistics, because statistics are nothing"

Utter gibberish - very worrying if that’s how he’s talking to the players, he’s got to go!

Siopis might be OK if he was told to never, ever pass more than 5 yards or shoot. He constantly gives the ball away, it is infuriating.

Horvath is crap, he's not up to it. It's borderline cruel keeping him in the side.

Bulut has to go, he's had 50 games and we've been worse than useless for 9/10 months

:thumbup: Funnily enough Mrs C said the same thing as you at the game about Horvarth...it's cruel. You're right. It was cruel at Swansea too. It'd be constructive dismissal in any other job! He's gone. His heads gone. It's horrible to watch.

I'm not gonna die on the Siopis hill either....but....he did actually make some cracking forward passes in the first half and was the only midfielder of any note imo. I know he's had some sh*t games but honestly, today wasn't one of them.

Nobody supports each other in that side. They're just static and watch the player with the ball. They don't help out. It happened all game. People will say 'borough were a rubbish side. No they weren't. Were they great? Of course not but seriously, they had what we don't have on the break or anywhere else...pace and cover the park in a flash while we're just playing the football equivalent of pitch and putt after a few beers.

:thumbup: ...mate....it's good to talk :hehe: I just had to get it all out by the time I'd got home and now I've moved on. It's gone....

....whatever you do, don't think about the possibility of Wrexham being promoted and us being relegated...I'm not :facepalm::hehe:

Re. Robinson. He was warming up from just after the start of the second half. Doing stretches with the rubber band around his ankles and everything. He was so long warming up he would have been knackered by the time Bulut brought him on. One thing that's strange imo, is that Bulut never speaks to the players to tell them they're on or rarely speaks to them before they're on the park. It's always one of his team. It's really weird. There's a disconnect between him and the players. Odd.

I sit just behind the technical area and near the subs bench so watch and hear a lot of what's going on. It's very revealing. He cut a very lonely figure in the last 15 mins. Hardly any communication. Looked as broken as us supporters. There's no positive vibe in that team and management.

Probably reason he doesn’t speak to them is because they can’t understand what he telling them.
