Not considering the relegated teams, Kayseri were the lowest goal scoring team of the past season. Besides that, they lost their most effective players like Deniz Turuc and Tjaronn Cherry in the summer transfer market. It means that coach Hikmet Karaman will have to work harder and harder this summer in order to improve his offence line. First of all, they brought offensive wingers like Ziya Alkurt and Nii Plange in. Ziya has offered an important role in Denizli’s promotion to the Super League, but Plange’s quality is a question mark. It is the same story for Kayode who has been far from 1st team action for 2 years. It looks like the goal scoring responsibility will belong to experienced captain Umut Bulut once again. The best news for the offensive plans is the re-signing of Bernard Mensah with a permanent deal. What about the defence line? It cannot be said that it was a trustworthy backline. That is why most of the new arrivals are defenders. Following the departure of Tiago Lopes, Miguel Lopes was added to act at right back. Kucher and Sapunaru were replaced by Poulain and Abdennour. The French center back has done well in Club Brugge, but the Tunisian man has not played football in his loan spells for 2 years. So the fans are worried about his performance. Talented Yasir Subasi will give a competitive season to Sakib Aytac and Atila Turan at left back. Dja Djedje has done a good performance in Ankaragucu. So his arrival should give a tough defensive mentality to the midfield. On the net, Lung was already a trustable keeper and the coach added Eray Iscan & Hakan Arikan. So the net looks the best part of the team now. Hikmet Karaman is a very experienced coach who can make this squad turn into a strong one. So his team can manage to meet the fans’ expectations. In fact, the current squad have potential to reach its goal.

Target

To avoid dropping in the table is their top goal following the squad changes. If they adapt quickly, they can finish in the top ten and progress in the cup.

Season Review

2018/2019

№10: Kayserispor

It has been absolutely a disappointing season for Kayseri as they could only score more goals than two relegated teams. Cherry & Kravets took the whole offensive responsibility during the season, but their efforts were not good enough. In particular, captain Umut Bulut’s performance was too far from the past seasons. It seems like his age started to take its toll from him. The season’s 1st part was especially terrible for the fans. Early on in December, they were inside the relegation zone and they could score only in 6 of early 14 fixtures. The board felt like they had to end this misery. Instead of coach Ertugrul Saglam, they signed coach Hikmet Karaman. His arrival showed its effect immediately and they remained undefeted for 10 fixtures and became assertive for the 5th place, but then the nightmare came back and recorded a run of only 2 victories in 11 fixtures, which made them remain aimless in the midtable. Their failure’s biggest reason was being short in some parts of the team. Moreover, there was no other creative option except Deniz Turuc & Cherry. So the performances of Varela & Bilal were not satisfactory. It was also the same problem for the backline. When Lopes or Atila were unable to play because of any reason, the coach was unable to use any suitable back-up for both defensive flanks, which caused the defence line to lose its effectiveness. If they continue with coach Hikmet Karaman, it is a big advantage for them as he knows what to do now. If he builds a wide range squad, they can finish in a higher place.
