A Question For Eric Half A Bee

[The Lone Gunman]

I think it's worth mentioning that there's no way we would have given 8 academy players their debuts hadn't it been for injuries.

It’s also worth mentioning that Ashford made his first sub appearance in league game number 42 and his first start in league game number 44, while the only other academy players to make Championship appearances did so in game 44 as subs (Conte and Giles).

Even the most ardent Bulut fan can’t pretend he’s had a policy of bringing the youngsters through.

I'm not sure that's what he was getting at, i think the question was yours, which manager has had a policy of bringing through youth at Cardiff?

Dave Jones, Malky Mackay, Mick McCarthy, Steve Morison.

Bulut has this weird attitude towards cup matches - he plays a completely different type of football in them and is much more prepared to use youngsters. Joel Colwill has spent close to half a season sat on the bench for the first team and still hasn’t played a minute of Championship football - our manager clearly doesn’t see cup football as “real” football as applied to young players.

Morison, really? Not sure who he broke in, was Bagan & Davies? Signing 17 players in 1 window ( ) was a ringing endorsement of the quality of our youth, and he should know he was managing them previously.

The internet is wonderful isn't it, people post their opinions which they are entitled to make, and other people take it personally and make it their life's mission to comment against any negativity (how dare lifelong fans have opinions)

At a glance today Mozz has posted about Bulut getting manager of the day (Swansea won 4-0 Stoke 3-0 and lowly Qpr beat Preston to officially be safe from relegation) and is banging on about Bulut like he's got a history of promoting youth. We saw them because 11 players were out injured and its taken an age after we were in "no mans land" to give them minutes...
