One thing I can say about myself is I like discipline for my players. Not only respect for the coach, for the players.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also identified City\u2019s home record and scoring struggles as problems that needed to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCardiff last season scored only 41 goals. I think second from the bottom. Attackers is not only wingers, strikers, number 10. It can start from the back, from the goalkeeper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77883\" width=\"688\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-770x433.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-293x165.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1400x788.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-77883\" width=\"688\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-770x433.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-293x165.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1-1400x788.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/erol-bulut-ccs-1.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bulut wants to make the Bluebirds great at home again. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With seven players set to leave the club after their contracts expire, Bulut wants to see \u201ceight to ten\u201d new faces come through the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those signings could be even \u201cbigger\u201d than his own appointment \u2013 and the club could reach an agreement with the mystery player as early as this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it happens, Dalman expects the marquee signing to inspire the purchase of thousands more season tickets, taking the tally from around twelve thousand currently to the maximum of around eighteen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pushed for specifics of the kind of team he wants to build, Bulut said that Turkish fans claim he has an \u201cEnglish style\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy favourite [formation] is 4-2-3-1, sometimes 4-3-3.
