This is now ridiculous. The manager said they were running last month. Also - Bullit said the medics told him of the need to take Colwill Etete and Ralls off. In my opinion they have far too much say. Just justifying their jobs. Comebacks from injuries are totally ridiculous. Expecting pelters to come my way. But many on here will agree with me.

No 'pelters' required; you make a valid point

However, we must remember that recovery is not an exact science and the goalposts can move. I feel sure that Erol Bulut is only passing on the information provided to him by the club's medical staffs

O'Dowda and particularly Rambo's return will be like two new signings and, for me at least, I am still glad that he (Rambo) is our player. He will play a major part in our successes over the next season or two and I see a place for him on our coaching staffs, too...

Rambo is a Bluebird...! :bluebird: :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :notworthy:

Do people realise there’s a different between a player running and them training?

For example, when someone does their ACL they are running months before training can even be considered.

Erol Bulut hopes Aaron Ramsey will be available for Cardiff City in January.

Bluebirds captain Ramsey, 33, has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in mid-September.

But Bulut revealed the Wales international is closing in on a return to action.

"He can start with us [in training], in one week or 10 days," said Bulut. "We don't want to hurry him because if he gets injured again, his season is over.

"We have to be really careful."

And on Callum O'Dowda, Bulut said: "O'Dowda is already training with us. We hope next week or in 10 days we can use him."

Bulut is also confident that striker Kion Etete - who was withdrawn in the 64th minute of Cardiff's 2-2 draw with Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day - will be involved against Championship leaders Leicester City on 29 December.

"I think he will be good," Bulut said of Etete. "Is he at 100%? I don't know, but even if it's 90% we have to use the player."
