I agree.
I do question if they were his choices, I think he made a comment about spending months with the team identifying players and then the budget was slashed and back to square one (or something like that).
Still needs to get more from what we have.

A waste of space as far as I'm concerned. There's been many occasions where he's wasted a scoring opportunity because he's taken it on himself instead of passing to a team mate in a better position. I'll be glad when his loan runs out.

I'm thinking we just signed a clutch of also rans just for the sake of it. I can't think of any better than we already have. Sounds brilliant management all round to me.

I think it was more in hope.

I think it was a Who the hell can we get in five days?
We needed a Sory Kaba moment and we got someone even less effective than Etete

You must be talking about this forum only (who seem to idolise the lawmowers in the squad). Down at the ground theres always atleast one new guy sitting not far behind me shouting at grant for being gutless or useless.
so dont worry the majority seem to have a very different opinion to people on here. You are not alone

Not sure what Bulut can do differently? The squad if bottom quartile and over the season you are what you are
Get the best out of the players he has? Coach them? Improve them? Play in a way where we try to attack? Tell the players the objective it to get the round thing in the big white rectangle at the end of the pitch?
Our players are not brilliant but they're not 13 defeats in 19 bad. Also, he signed 7 of the starting XI.
Re: FT: NORWICH CITY 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Exactly. Siopis and Goutas are obviously his signings. Diedihou I assume he knows from his time in Turkey as well. We’ve spent 2 million on Turnbull. He’s had the opportunity to make a full complement of loans and has even been able to chop and change a few - let’s not forget the brilliant decision to drop Alnwick for Runarsson in there when we were still playing quite well at times.
Yes the squad is pretty crap, the injuries don’t help and it’s not all his fault, but also to suggest he gets a total pass and he’s not been able to get any of his players in is equally one-sided.

Did he sign them?
Or do you just mean he was manager when they signed?

Diedhiou, Siopis and Goutas are 100% his. Managers should not be signing every player in 2024. They're too busy and the game is too global. It also stops short termism.
That being said, Nat Phillips is at least a decent Champ CB. Horvath got promoted last season. Grant has scored 18 and 19 goals in a season before at this level and JWE is awful, in my opinion but that's me. Still, this side isn't the walking disaster Bulut has got it playing like.

They play as if “they have just met”, that’s the problem
Re: NORWICH CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Still a believer that Bulut can get the job done but this is a very very troubling run of form now. Would be easy to understand the club letting him go at the end of the season, or if we were to lose both games next week however and I'm not sure I would complain. The squad itself is dog poor, our best players are out and it does appear FFP has completely inhibited our ability to bring any real talent in, maybe Turnbull will come good - so for that reason alone i'm not sure anyone else would be doing better than what Bulut has been able to do.
Hopefully 4 points next week, though at this moment that seems like wishful thinking. And here i was thinking we'd have a very uncharacteristic boring end to a season.
