Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

Re: Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

Tanner is learning the game. Defensively he's nowhere near up to speed as Bowler, hence why Bowler has started every game since returning from injury. If Romeo had a rather tough game this afternoon, bringing on Tanner to help him out was a rather foolish mistake.

While Tanner is a really exciting prospect, to say he's a bit raw is an understatement.

Don’t disagree, but as well as Bowler was doing he certainly wasn’t helping Romeo either?

Re: Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

We came back from 0-1 down to be leading 2-1. with neat goals. We started the second half on the front foot also, but player-for-player they were stronger in a couple of areas, and when we sat back and didn't 'get in their faces' they grew in confidence. Simply we'd done the [hard] job and took the foot off the gas against a side who are better than recent form would suggest. And we couldn't get back into it. Tanner and coldwill might have changed it but for them it was a bit like turning up at a party when all your mates are fast asleep and aren't really aware you're there...

In some respects though, Tanner's defensive play has been more effective than his offensive play, it was strange to see him look so poor at that aspect of the game yeserday.

Erol Bulut wasn't out on the pitch. The players were. And if what he said about working on corners is true then McGuinness really dropped a bollock. The players worked hard to get a lead, but then they lost concentration and gave away 2 more soft goals. Why should Bulut take responsibility for that?

Bulut has been praised for a lot of his substitutions this season and rightly so. However, he himself is saying they didn't work yesterday, so, surely, he has to take some responsibility for that?

Absolutely.

Ultimately, it was a disappointing result. Let's learn and move on.

P.s McGuinness might have two shiners now. 😆

Players made mistakes and didn’t do their job,
With the squad we had yesterday we are a mid table side.

Ramsey, Ng ODowda would have made a difference, but even then we would be around the top six
We need the 3-4 targets already identified in January to kick on.

Bulut knows that Meite isn’t a threat as a 9 and Etete is only a back up.
Romeo isn’t a Championship standard player and Tanner is still work in progress

We need to move a few on, just disappointing that Wintle has gone backwards over the last month or so, total lack of concentration yesterday

They didn't work necessarily but I thought before them Norwich were on top anyway.

I was surprised Tanner and Colwill both came on at 2-1 when we were on the back foot but it's all hindsight, if one of them gets a goal then Bulut's a genius.

Thought Norwich were overall just the better team, caused problems first half and second half continued to do so whilst also limiting us.

We just didn't look up for it second half. Closing down was poor along with other basics.

Re: Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

I think Wagner’s substitutions made a difference. In the first half their fullbacks, particularly the left back, were being overrun and their replacements shored up a wobbling defence. Bringing on Idah in the second half added a bit of purpose to the attacking threat.

Re: Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

I accuse him of subbing players who were doing fine, not knackered, and disrupting the eleven on the field.

In my opinion we were struggling before the subs and it looked like Norwich were going to score any second. Bulut had to change it up, what worked for the past few weeks just didn't work for whatever reason today.

I'm a big fan of Tanner but the third goal was his fault, he didn't follow his man which left Romeo 2 vs 1.

You’re right they were on top prior to the subs. Maybe it’s a measure how far we’ve come in such a short time under Bulut that we’ve gone all analytical and a touch critical. Of course it’s good that we’re throwing in our two penn’orth, that’s what messageboards are for but, in my case, I think I’ll step back and look at the bigger picture, certainly in relation to the last couple of seasons……………..until the next time we bugger up of course:hehe:

Yeah we were basically waiting for Norwich to put something decent together for the entire second half, the subs made no difference either way to the fact that we were being thoroughly over run.

Imagine how different our attack looks with Moore starting and Meite coming on to run at tired defenders..

Fingers crossed January gives us what we are looking for.

The one player missing yesterday was NG and maybe that was the difference. Eitherway we should not have lost yesterday.

He’s not on the pitch when we win either but happy to take the credit then.

Must have gone to the same school of management as Steve Morison. Take the glory and none of the blame.

Re: Erol Bulut accuses his players of not fighting or concentrating

How many managers take responsibility? Let’s be honest did he say to Wintle knock it in the net or Tanner just leave the fullback do what he wants and leave Romeo done (I did).

He’s the one who brought Tanner on when we were leading and getting overrun. He’s not a player to bring on in that situation. It’s was a bad substitution and he should take some responsibility for it but no-one is allowed to knock the messiah.
