Bulut

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Eight games, way too short a period to judge when we have a full season.

People are all now acknowledging that was a tough start to a season.

But I get your point, he had a terrible start despite the tough games had to go as he had lost the dressing room.

Riza would look far worse if the players hadn't given so much with his new Manager bounce, that early run boosted his results but over most of a season, he's fallen way short.

Erol Bulut picked up 40 points from his last 38 league games. In that time frame, we scored winning goals in the 95th+ minute 4/5 times? That is clearly not sustainable. The wheels had fallen off, the gearbox had packed in, and the steering wheel had disintegrated. He was useless. We conceded 70 goals last season for Christ's sake.

Us finishing 12th last season was the worst thing to happen, it allowed everyone at the board to pat themselves on the back and some of our fans to believe we weren't completely hopeless.
