There were a lot of fans who felt that Bulut had gone too far with his recent criticism of both Robinson and Colwill, but to me, the last two games have proved his point. Both have knuckled down, done what they were asked to do, and have both made big contributions, and scored important goals. Maybe Bulut was right all along?
I agree, and also think he knew he needed at least one of them to pick up some form if we were to improve, I think they have both reacted well.
I guess you can also make a case that they would have done this without the comments and should have been playing all along.
We won’t know, but let’s hope the goals keep coming along with the wins.
It seems the worse thing to have come out of the comments are a couple of fans have had their feels hurt.
Of course they have and it was obvious they would at least try to improve.Quote:

Bulut has done a fantastic job so far.
I really like the thought of Colwill being on the pitch but I think he is usually very profligate in losing possession.
To be fair, Robinson has always done well for us when fit and played regularly. Colwill also had an extremely good game vs Birmingham in the league cup with a goal and an assist before he got chewed out. I think if both had been played more this season we'd have seen these performances sooner.Quote:

They are both good players and we need to try and fit them in when we can, I'm sure that's what Bulut wants.Quote:

We still have Rambo and O'Dowda to come back and talk of Keiffer's new house in Cardiff is growing by the day, fingers are crossed there is some truth in them!
I can't wait for next week's team selection, it's going to be really interesting?
We always knew Robbo and Colwill have the goods to be very effective players but they've both up their game when not in possession.I have noted also last saturday that the Gaffer was able to replace like for like when the energy levels dropped off a bit and Bristol were starting to threaten.Round pegs in round holes was nice to see for a change and remembering that the first choice starters of Bowler,Robbo and Mietie are all coming back from long term injuries/long term inactivity don't have to be flogged to death.
Wasn't there already a Colwill and Robinson thread? Or was it Robinson and Colwill, in which case you're forgiven.
True, but we see very little of what goes on at the club. The days of players training hard and playing well being enough are long gone.Quote:

Who knows what the criticism was really about?
There was but this one is far more constructive with good replies and the benefit of hindsight where the players look to be running their bollox off and after a week when we've scored six, conceded ZERO, won two out of two home, and away, and have an extra week to work on Buluts tactics.Quote:
