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.

Grant walks into our team. McGuinness and Phillips walk into it. There's 3 players who make a massive, fundamental difference to the way we play. Salech is the only player that gets into last season's team automatically, therefore, we had a better team last year.

I think all three would look far worse with Riza, he would have had them try and play the ball out from the back and would have shattered their confidence, this squad is a lot better, a proper Manager would add so many points.

Tan's just thrown £millions down the drain by not replacing the Manager, he had about 20 to chose from.

WE DID THIS UNDER BULUT YOU COMPLETE MENTALIST

[Dave Blue]

Bulut was shite - deserved to be sacked, at the end of last season.
Riza is shite - deserves to be sacked and should never have been in charge for a single game.

Summed up well. Riza was lucky he followed Bulut as any improvement gave him favour with some. It wasn’t hard to better the appalling football of Bulut. Has it led to more points? I doubt it but it’s been easier on the eye albeit not a lot lately. Any thought that Bulut should have stayed is bizzare.

We’ve hit a new low on here discussing who’s better between Bulut and Riza.
That’s like being a kid on a children’s hospital ward, being told that Jimmy Saville’s visit has been cancelled, then 5 mins later hearing the sound of didgeridoo coming along the corridor !!

Going to pinch that for future use!

so true….our managers have been getting shitter for years as cheapskate Tan throws his money in the wrong places as usual…..usually lawyers

Terrible to watch but no fear of relegation ever, in hindsight should have been changed at the end of the seasonn to an expereinced manager, the problem is we all knew if there was a change it would go to a cheap coach to have a little go at being a Manager.

I had concerns for this season, as soon as the set pieces dried up we were screwed and that’s exactly what happened.

The deal also meant Riza would be manager as it was obvious Bulut wasn’t going to survive.

Now the team has reverted to what it was under Bulut's tenure. Toothless in attack, listless in midfield and error-prone at the back. When we do have possession, the players meekly pass the ball into areas of the pitch where there is ever decreasing amounts of space until possession is conceded. They've waved the white flag just as they did under Bulut.

Been thinking the same for a while - aimless passing, slow build up, complete inability to open teams up. Makes me wonder if it's the only way these players can play. Surely not..
