If we had played with the handbrake off before today.
If he had the courage to pick youngsters before today.
If he didn't always play with inverted wingers
If he didn't (unlike today) play with 2 sitting midfielders.
If (unlike today) his football wasn't turgid,
Then I'd keep him, but he was forced into today and i fear he would revert to type.

Re: We Want You to Stay

Of course not - everyone knows all our love good results have been because of the luck of the gods and the losses have all been deserved due to poor team selection, tactics, coaching etc.

Fans can believe whatever they want. Your statement is just as likely to be true as the opposite. And, at least I'm consistent when I constantly say there is no such thing as luck. Just probability. It's probable that if he does stay, he'll sign some mares and play turgid football. It's also probable none of the 'kids' will ever get a look in again if he does as Tan won't want to spend money only for 'one of our own' to steal the limelight.

Of course. He's been planning today for months.

Baldrick Bulut!

Re: We Want You to Stay

I wasn't chanting and not a fan of his. Most of the positives from today were despite Bulut not because of him. The positive changes were forced on him. However, I will give home credit for swapping Thurnbull for Deijou. Not an obvious choice or a much to do with Deijou himself. But it did get us up the pitch and allowed the kids to prosper. But why he picked
Turnbull there in the first place is one reason to question if he should be retained?

Now that's a chant I could get behind. We could call it 'singing the Telly Savalas'.

I can picture him performing that! 😁

Re: We Want You to Stay

It was a typical Bulut 2-1 win. Should have been too far behind, relied on them missing good chances, then it was probably no surprise we found an equaliser out of nothing and pinched it at the end. Delighted the youngsters did so well, something that wouldn't have happened if the regulars had been fit. Much of the win was down to them. Makes you wonder why it has taken so long to introduce them.

It was great to get a win over that tosser, Martin. Nathan Blake made a point that we don't win games by being dominant, but nobody wants to be just a single goal up against us with 10 minutes to go.

In the heart of the game, I stand, Eric's name,
A Bulut 2-1 win, not just the same.
Should've been trailing, too far to find,
Yet they missed their chances, left us behind.

Out of nowhere, our equalizer came,
Then at the end, we claimed our fame.
Delighted by the young ones, their skill on display,
Had the regulars been fit, they might not have had their day.

Why so long to introduce this talent bright?
Their contribution to victory, a shining light.
A question lingers, a thought so profound,
Why wait so long for the young ones to be crowned?

And then there's Martin, that tosser, they say,
A win against him brightens our day.
Nathan Blake spoke truth, as he often does,
We're not always dominant, but create quite a buzz.

No one wants to face us, with a single goal lead,
With ten minutes to go, we plant that seed.
So here's to the wins, to the thrill and the fight,
In the world of Eric, where dreams take flight.

Thinking of heraldic City poems, I wonder if that one about the playoff semi at Ashton Gate is still around anywhere?

The majority? Really?

Spoken like a guy who wasn’t at the game

Re: We Want You to Stay

It wasn't ringing around the stadium and it wasn't the majority of fans.
It was the noisy fans in the Canton end

The empty vessels.

Re: We Want You to Stay

Im convinced that some of you dont watch more than the 2minute sky sports highlights.

We shouldve been thumped 5-0 in the first half..not couldve but SHOULD'VE.

That said, bulut is obviously doing everything he can to get the contract including temporarily trying to "attack" which really lends towards the strengths of the better players in our squad so naturally we looked better.
