Bulut post Norwich comments

Call me radical, if playing negatively hasn't really worked for 18 games, maybe don't do it 19 times? Like Melchett in Blackadder, doing exactly what we've done 16 times before means it is the last thing they'll expect us to do again.

I don’t disagree.

But then you look at all our forward players who are basically useless and have rarely scored a goal in year. Then you look at our set piece stats, you can see why some managers do more defensive.

People talk about Sheffield Wed away in the cup as an attacking performance, we lost 4-0 I think? We can’t attack, we don’t have the players.

The answer? I don’t know. It’s depressing.

And the more defensive approach isn't working.

Agreed, it is depressing.

Again, radical, our players might score more goals if we actually tried to score more goals. Grant is not a bad player, neither is Bowler, neither is Colwill. Tanner has disappeared. This is on the manager.

Not just Bulut, but the coaching, the whole approach.

Everything is wrong. I'd keep the goalie coach, mainly cos he scares me but he's made Alnwick look like a passable Champ keeper which I didn't expect last season.

I know it's easy to over react at times like this, but I do feel we're currently worse off in terms of performances and optimism than most of the last few years. If it hadn't been for the start we made this season, we'd be in the shit.

If you ever see our goalkeeping coach taking shots at our goalie in the warm up before the game, he blasts them at the goal with great accuracy.

You will then see the actual attacking players practice their shooting by calmly attempting to pass the ball with pace into the corners of the net.

Then, during the game our players will not calmly attempt to place the ball into the corner of the net, but mostly endanger someone who thinks they are safely sitting wide of the goal in row z!

I often think to myself… “why isn’t the goalkeeping coach also the strikers shooting coach?” And I’m not joking!

Grant and Bowler are alright but kind of niche. Bowler (and also Tanner) seems to have specialist skills but little else and when the specialist skills don't come off, that's it. Their parent clubs don't want them cos they don't have enough of everything else. Colwill will hopefully improve but would do so faster with players around him who could pass and control the ball on a fairly regular basis.

I feel some sympathy for Bulut but he still tries to play out from the back and through our shabby midfield although launching it wouldn't do much good either. He doesn't have the personnel but Wintle was re-signed on his watch and he wants to give Ralls another contract even though his best days are gone. Is he trying to build something? It's dispiriting to think that unless we bring in another 12 players in the summer we'll just get more of the same next year.
