So, if, as Bulut claims, the team didn't press on Saturday as was practiced before the game, what do we conclude from this?
There are really only 3 possibilities:-
1 The players are incapable of pressing as Bulut demands.
2 Bulut struggles to get his message across.
3 The players (or some at least) don't agree with his methods.
I'm hearing (not pretending to be ITK but the source has some credibility) that all is not well in the camp. So, is 3 the most likely?
Option 1.
On occasions we do it well, and it was a highlight of our play in the first of the season.
Bowler, Diedieou, Meite etc. will all be playing at a lower level next season.
Etete, Colwill & Tanner, all fortunate to be playing mid-table Championship football.
Only Grant has proper quality in our attack.
That is why we have a poor press. That is why a lot of our games are boring. We have a poor attack. It is in some ways a worse attack than last season.
Kaba & Philogene were better than what we have this season, but you have to accept how restricted we have been and that it has been hard for the club to put a fully-rounded squad together.
