Just In: What Cardiff City’s Erol Bulut As Set To Do Against Rotherham
When Cardiff City plays Rotherham United on Saturday to wrap off the Championship season, Erol Bulut will be asking his team for one last push.
After suffering a crushing loss to Middlesbrough in their season-ending home match last weekend, Cardiff will try to recover.
On April 20, the Bluebirds defeated promotion-chasing Southampton with two late goals, earning one of their most pleasurable victories of the season. However, they lost to Boro 4-1 shortly after that thrilling victory.
“Pressure can be beneficial at times, but being overly at ease can also have negative effects,” Bulut stated.
The fact that Southampton was excellent is what bothers me. We poured everything into it. We didn’t have enough players [because of injuries], Middlesbrough, but that’s not a justification to lose 4-1.
“Even after our most recent game against Rotherham, we still lost half of our lineup to injuries.
“The children are coming with us. However, I believe that the opposing team is likewise heavily injured. We are close; they have ten, and we have thirteen.
In Rotherham, Callum O’Dowda is expected to rejoin the Cardiff team following his most recent injury layoff.
Depending on other outcomes, Bulut’s team might finish in the top 10 for the Championship with a victory over the Millers.
