Of the team that started against Hull 5 of the players were his signings (Ugbo , Meite , Grant , Siopis and Goutas . One (Colwill) he promoted from within .
Of those on the bench 3 were his signings (Bowler , Runarsson and Panzo).
The point I am making is roughly half of our team in action are his signings .
Ramsey of his nine signings has been virtually the only one missing and we had an excellent run without him.
Yes , he could not spend money to buy ….but by golly , most of those are on damn good wages and many now the highest paid at our club and are experienced professionals.
My inference is that , Bulut must accept a good deal of the responsibility for our performance .
Also most of the coaching staff are Buluts own.
Most people - me included- have praised him in a big way when praise was due …..but now Bulut must accept responsibility for the massive decline in our performance .
Significantly , the players he inherited are not exactly slouchers … Alnwick , NG , McGuinness and Collins.

They say new players need to 'bed themselves in' and we've seen loads of examples of questionable 'first season's' only to huge leaos forward in the next (season)
For me, Erol Bulut is still finding his feet and working out his best team and formation with little in the background to play with...
January should see a big leap forward in squad strength and depth and that should reflect in more consistency on the field of play..
However, I always saw next season as a defining one for club and manager with the caveat that he (Bulut) has done more than enough to warrant our support and patience. Afterall, as many of us have stated already, who truly expected us to be in touch with the top 6 at this point of this season...
I'll hold my hands up and say "not me!"

Chris,
He def deserves so far to stay for the whole of this season and come say March decide on next season, We do need stability and hopefully Bulut is the one for this.
But I am 50/50 on him.
He is better than Morison, Slade, Harris, Hudson, Trollope etc but then most managers are

2. No bugger moves into space when we do have the ball. This limits our options and we inevitably pass backwards or sideways (killing any quick counter attack)
3. Too similar midfield. All are negative breaker uppers with no creativity.
4. Too weak up front. Cannot hold the ball and prevent it returning back into danger.
5. Defenders playing tippy tappy roulette between themselves and the keeper, putting each other needlessly under pressure.
6. Poor keepers. Yes plural.
7. A reluctance and too afraid to have a go and shoot.
8. Far too much tinkering with the team. Bulut needs to work out his best side and formation and fast. I can only assume all the constant chopping and changing is upsetting the side. Siopis for example has gone to pot compared to when he first joined us.
If Bulut is now punching doors, he needs to transfer some of that aggression into his team and make us a nasty horrible side again. Teams come to CCS expecting to have all the possession.

Silly bugger, if Ralls is not 100% you look after him by subbing him when possible and not by running him into the ground.

Be careful you're not seen as 'sensible', Martyn...
