Manager reaction to CCFC 3 - 2 CCFC

Last updated : 21 September 2023 By Michael Morris

Cardiff manager Erol Bulut:

"Saturday was a great victory, but we couldn't celebrate too much because of this game, we had to rest and work. This was a hard game against a very good team and I'd told my players we had to work very hard, we had to go 100% for 100 minutes, to get these three points and we must continue the same every game.

"We are learning from mistakes we have made before and we are looking forward. It is always good to have victories, but we must continue.

"We rested Aaron (Ramsey) because he had a problem with stiffness in the second game with Wales and again in the final minutes against Swansea and I already have enough injuries.

"We need all our players; Aaron is a great player and we showed today when he's not on the field we can replace him with other players. Maybe we can keep the ball better with him, create more chances, but the guys on the field showed all the team is important, not the individual."

"We didn't start the game with the tempo we wanted which was disappointing. They are organised with some good players, but we weren't brave enough and didn't get on the ball.

"We went a goal down without laying a glove on them. The goal gave us a bit of a lift, but we're normally braver and better on the ball than that and we didn't do enough.

"We had a lot of possession, but it's vanity if you don't do anything with it. We've scored two goals away from home, but three poor goals conceded and we have players who are better than that and can defend better than that.

"We are scoring goals, but certain performances have been lacklustre and we are going to have to work.

"We know we are going to be without Ben Sheaf for a minimum six weeks so that's a blow."
