People are talking about Tanner in this thread, well he’s looked a different player in those cup games to the one we’ve seen in the league since the early autumn - Bulut lets the players off the leash when we’re not playing in the Championship.
This is what I was trying to say earlier but you've hit the nail on the head with

It was the same pre-season and though I can't say for sure, playing away, early part of the season (before Ramsey's injury) we looked dangerous. At home, his football is awful for the most part (a few exceptions). Can you imagine him still being here if we'd lost to Swansea and Bristol at home?

....a bit OT but Wintle and Bulut looked like they were arguing from where I sit near the technical area. There was definitely something going on.

Edit: I have to admit to not being objective about any of it though anymore. Like I've said before, I'm in a rut as a fan so I can't really analyse it the same way as I would watching games as a neutral. And like Tuerto....it just makes me angry...hence the the thread I started!
