FT: BRISTOL CITY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Unless we have a spending spree on players we are not going to have a squad that's going to be all singing and all dancing

So set piece play and a bit of digging in is likely to be the way it is

But that will eventually find us out, Bulut or not. Come on, if we stopped scoring from set pieces we'd be in the shit. That's a massive worry going forward. Are you happy for us to spend season after season struggling and hoping from headers from corners?

There’s a middle ground to be steered which means that we don’t have to have wingers playing like full backs and us not being as unwatchable as Bulut has made us in too many of our recent home games. Reading between the lines,a factor in him leaving Fenerbache was that he had them playing defensive, counter attacking football. A club like Fenerbache in a league like Turkey’s should always be looking to play on the front foot if they want to keep the fans onside. Bulut just comes over as a defensively minded manager who would play the same way even if we had the players to play a more adventurous brand of football with a degree of success - witness how he reacted to the likes of Tanner, Colwill and Robinson when we were playing a lot better in late summer and early autumn.

Counter attacking football can be great to watch and devastating

The reason why Tanner and Colwill were pulled out was because they wernt doing enough after being given the opportunity

Goals v Swansea and Bristol City were followed by very little

Bulut's isn't.

Tanner can't counter attack if he's acting as a second fullback.

[John Buchanan]

I was mocking the playoffs after we went on a bad run where we went defensive. They're out of reach, but I believe if we had been more positive, we might have been in the running. Ramsey was a factor early on but we had a good run after he was injured, playing front foot football. I don't know of any professional pundit who has said that Bulut's defensive tactics have been good for us, either. Perhaps you beg to differ and that's fine, but we'll agree to disagree on it. The last few months have been shit to watch, even the lucky away wins.

"Front foot football" Love this phrase, haven't heard it in a while.

[Dave Blue]

With a fit Ramsey and a decent striker we would be a top ten side

That’s a certainty given we are 11th with neither.

[Dembe]

That’s a certainty given we are 11th with neither.

So not as bad a side as some have suggested

So not as bad a side as some have suggested

I thought you'd been saying that we weren't that good a side and our poor form was to be expected with the players we had.

Me too. Plucky little Cardiff aren't we!

You thought wrong

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Well that's two of you talking cobblers then

Get back in the box

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

There are no certainly no certainties in life sonny

Ramsey could come back in a wheelchair
