Has any striker who’s played under Bulut’s management received praise from the fan base? I’m not saying the likes of Etete, Diedhiou, Ugbo and Kanga are world beaters, but three of them have been better players elsewhere than they looked at Cardiff. Maybe Diedhiou can be put down to age, but Ugbo looked a lot better at a side struggling near the bottom of the Championship than he did here and although the early evidence with Kanga doesn’t look good, his figures last season show he’s better than he’s looked for us so far.
Unless or until we have a striker who can score at an acceptable rate under Bulut’s management, I’m not going to dismiss the notion that he is the problem - would Kiefer Moore have been able to maintain his 20/21 scoring rate if he’d have come here in January? No one can say for sure, but my admiration for Moore would have been increased if he had managed to do so under this manager.
