I don’t think anyone there today was bored shitless, the team gave a performance from the first minute and got the backing of the crowd straight away
Great performance
Great result
Can’t wait for next Saturday
100% and I've said pretty much the same.

Then we get Turnbull he gets fitter and starts to understand his teammates. Rubin is the reverse of Turnbull both are class on the ball but Rubes try's crazy things because he is an all out attack machine.
Bulut also has sussed that Sio isn't a 6 in this league so it is probably him or Ralls as the top of the double pivot and pushed them 10 yards further up the pitch.
We also have a footballer at left back which allows Grant to push further up and O'Dowda is classes above Bowler and Tanner.
I believe Bulut is getting hold of this league and its requirements
This. Although, I'm not convinced Colwill is going to make it at this level. He definitely has moments. But that's pretty much all he has. He has skill but maybe not a "football brain". We'll see. I'm not writing him off. But at the moment I have more faith in the manager than I have for Colwill. And I can see why other managers have not considered him a first 11 player.

He's getting there. I'm a little reluctant to say this, but I think I believe.

I thought Bulut was a breath of fresh air as a manager for Cardiff and was very excited at the beginning of the season. At home, it started to get silly though, and up until very recently I hated his defensive (negative) setup and trudging back home wondering WTF his team had dared to dish up. Because, it was really, really sh*t. So I had enough.
Have I found a new belief today? No. I get where Eric is coming from but today is all about celebrating a fantastic win and being reminded that 'anything can happen'. I love that. Was I screaming my head off when the winner went in? Too right I was. If a fan can't enjoy that then yeah...it's over.
Everyone loves what happened today. That was immense. Stuffing Ipswich and shutting their fans up. Does it erase all the sh*t football? Yeah, it kind of does for me because it's like lancing a boil. Just slice that f*cker off and let our fans enjoy CCS again. It's like pain. When it's gone, you can't really remember what it was like just that it was awful.
For me Siopis was MOM. He's a great player. You'll never get me agreeing on Wintle after the stuff I've sat through at home. But f*ck me that was a top game of football today. We really needed that. Bulut needed that. Now let's stuff the Jacks and do the doube on them.
A few weeks ago I never thought I'd say I'm really looking forward to our next game. But I am. It's a great feeling.

Great post, I agree, it's about the win today, just enjoy it. I also get where Eric is coming from, and although I think that he may go on about Bulut and his tactics a little too much (just my opinion) he's entitled to do so and plenty of what he has said is correct in my opinion. Bulut ain't going to change his tactics, I'd bet my house on it. It's not great when we get a result, even worse when we get beaten. And whoever he brings in it'll be the same. Anyway, let's show some love for an extended injury time win.
Re: Where the feck has that been for the last few months?
The beauty of winning a lunchtime kick off is you’ve got longer to enjoy it on the day.
1-0 down going into injury I was thinking as much as I dislike losing I’d seen a good game of football for a change. Two goals in the next ten minutes though meant I’d enjoyed the game and loved the result.
Having said that I don’t know what the fuss is about Ipswich. They weren’t a patch on Leeds or Leicester. Kieffer Moore was dangerous but they didn’t cause us many problems otherwise. And they definitely did a “Cardiff” by dropping deep once they were in the lead.
So good to seeing us play so much better and I think a lot of that comes down to Siopis looking again like the player he was back at the start of the season.

Re: Where the feck has that been for the last few months?
Good performance, even better win. Let's keep it up.
I'm not going to over analyse it but I liked Bulut, he started well. That 20 game spell was unacceptable and now we've found a very rich vein of form. None of those things are mutually exclusive. Let's hope we keep this run going.

Totally agree. We were the better side today, and when we showed confidence and got on the front foot we looked a bloody good side. Ipswich were there for the taking, but we let them in a few times by being very passive.
I wonder if despite the good couple of results there was still a slight lack of confidence about the team. Hopefully this result really gives them the belief to show what they can do.

That was my take aswell.
When we got towards half-time I thought we'd lost our best chance to get anything from the game. Ipswich were getting more into the game and we weren't doing too much going forward.
Only after our substitutions and Keiffers goal did we start applying more pressure to their defence and getting the result as a result. Ipswich should be kicking themselves for not scoring earlier and pushing for a second.

Leeds Leicester and wba to an extent we showed too much respect and this is the first time for me that we have taken the game to what is on paper a better side - it was good to see 👍👍

Absolutely. Some disagree here, but I felt I saw a change of tactic from us yesterday, if not more than just a boost of confidence.

It was better players giving encouragement and getting Bowler, Grant, and Miete performing better.
We were weak down the left now we are strong with a solid leftback Esbrand has made a huge difference and O'Dowda has showed what we were missing in the few moments he's had.
The defence is rock solid with Phillips battering Moore all over the shop and the keeper is relieving pressure by coming out when needed and can receive the ball when needed also.
Turnbaull has added composure and an option in the centre, we miles better we were a few players short and they have made the difference, along with confidence for the other players who were low on confidence before.

That’s what fans want to see, City having a right good go regardless of the opposition. Really enjoyed that.

When we can say that Saturday’s attitude is the norm and we are going at teams from the first whistle, I’ll agree with you and admit I was wrong about Bulut, but almost every game we’ve played under him before Ipswich home saw us playing back foot football and that includes all but one of the matches played with the new players signed in January available.
It should be remembered as well that from about the fifteenth minute until Moore scored we showed very little attacking intent. Great credit goes to manager and players for what happened after that though, particularly what happened at 1-1 - we’ll never know what would have happened if Moore doesn’t #core, but what we saw for a good hour beforehand suggested we’d have been happy with a 0-0.

It takes a bit of time for players to fit in, but when you're on the pitch and feel that you won't have to be defending ten crosses coming in from our left, but can be attacking ten, it does wonders for your confidence.
Attacking-wise, Turnball seems to have provided a solid platform and balance to the midfield, all the around him are playing much better.
