Erol Bulut: Cardiff City boss lays down challenge to Callum Robinson and Rubin Colwill

Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut has told Callum Robinson and Rubin Colwill they must work harder defensively to regain their starting places.

Republic of Ireland forward Robinson and Wales playmaker Colwill have largely been used as substitutes since Bulut took charge in June.

With the likes of Aaron Ramsey out injured, Bulut wants Robinson and Colwill to improve and fill that void.

He said: "I have problems with some of my players so they have to change it."

Bulut added: "Football, I will repeat myself, it's not only about scoring and playing offensive football. With ball and without ball.

"Some players like to play with the ball, I appreciate this, but without this they have to work for the team.

"Both Callum and Rubin are included in this. It's not enough or what I am expecting from them to be in the starting 11. I cannot play with 10 players. I need 11.

"We are not a team which has individual high-class players to change a game, we need all 11 to be successful. If one isn't included in the game against the ball, it means other players have to run and fight much more. It doesn't make sense, everyone has to work

"Robbo, he is quality, I like what he showed in pre-season in the games, but if I see the last two games of Robinson, I cannot say that I am satisfied.

"I will also have a meeting with him, he just came today [Thursday, after playing for the Republic of Ireland] so I am going to have a meeting tomorrow to tell him what I am expecting of him. Sometimes players forget.

"Because I need him. I don't have Ramsey. Rubin and Robbo can play there. Rubin is young, Robbo is experienced. But if Robbo wants to play he has to give everything for the team like other players. I won't appreciate it if they don't give everything for the team."

Here's a stat for ya.

As it stands, CR7 has an identical Irish record to the much loved Clinton Morrison. I don't get the hate for Robinson, always has a goal in him

I would actually view him the very same as the Cardiff manager. Good solid player but doesn't like to work hard on the pitch, a bit soft, doesn't like the hard stuff, tracking back, work rate and tackling.

You Tell Me wrote: No issue at all in terms of him turning up, and by all accounts he's very popular in the camp. But he's a good enough player to be doing a lot more with his career than he is. He's capable in terms of ability of being a solid bottom half Premier League player or an absolute standout in the Championship, but for whatever reason the workrate isn't there to go with the ability. I'd always take a slightly more limited player who works his balls off over a player who has more ability but not the application to make the most of it.
