How much longer do this dud Cardiff board give to the chump Riza?
We have taken nine from 39 points and not won in six consective home games, losing four, drawing two and scoring only two CCS goals in the half a dozen games!
Allowing Turk Riza to cut his managerial apprenticeship will cost the Bluebirds their Champioship status and cost £10m-plus pa in EFL Membership and Solidarity payments.
Enough - get rid tonight and hire an experienced soccer head.

Change the manager and nothing changes
The attackers are not very good. The dud board are 99% of the problem not the manager

Soccer head?

Tue Jan 14, 2025 10:18 pm

Tue Jan 14, 2025 10:20 pm

The problem is they won't hire anyone experienced or pay the fortune it would cost & we'll most likely end up with Purse and the same players causing the same issues.
What would you have done differently before Watford scored? We were well on top until the last 5 minutes yet again, we've dropped about 10 points from winning positions with just minutes left so far this season. Why are we not just belting the ball into row z with minutes left?

Exactly we didn’t play too bad but missed chances and one poor piece of defending cost us .A decent striker and we may survive but without one we really are in trouble .

Changing the manager, would make no real difference. Player's aren't good enough.
Tue Jan 14, 2025 10:26 pm
We could bring in anyone but without the right players, they won't do much better.
I don't believe Riza is the man to keep us up but I also think it would be an uphill struggle for any manager to do that.
I expect Riza to be replaced by the end of the season.
But unless we bring in at least 3/4 players to come into the first team, we aren't staying up.

Riza never brought in Willock ,El ghazi ,kanga and the rest of our attacking flops that is where we are really struggling and without reinforcements we will continue to suffer

The problem with riza is he panics if we're holding a 1 goal lead going into the last 10-15 minutes, so he moves the entire team back 10 yards so we invite pressure onto us, it's happened multiple times this season and we've crumbled every time, you can see the back 4 change there position from midway inside our half to the edge of our box for the last 15 minutes, this is not a fight we can win with him in charge sadly
Tue Jan 14, 2025 10:37 pm
We had plenty chances second half to score players couldnt do it, hardly Riza fault tbh

I agree; this was a very good performance from the team now moulded by Omer Riza and had we won (deservedly) this would be a much happier Forum…
Hindsight is a wonderful thing; but on this occasion I really don’t see the manager made genuine ‘
mistakes’ in replacing ‘tired’ players with fresh ones?
Everyone gave their all again tonight; with some great play and some crunching tackles going in, which all bodes well for the game against the ‘Jacks’ on Saturday and we should really get behind our Bluebirds right now because they need it and it can make the difference…!

I absolutely agree Sven on every point you make.

Points well made. We deserved a win last night and sometimes managers can't legislate for individual mistakes, We are playing without a striker at the moment. If we can address this we have fighting chance of staying up. What I will say about Riza is if he loses on Saturday the atmosphere will be toxic and that's hard to recover from. That game is huge for him and the team.
Wed Jan 15, 2025 10:46 am
If we win on Saturday, let’s hope that’s a shot in the arm for the rest of the season.
There’s two ways of looking at the same thing.
Wed Jan 15, 2025 11:27 am
The issue has been consistency in performance. If we play like we did yesterday, the results will come. We missed a few chances yesterday, made a costly mistake, but the performance wasn’t as dire and lacking of any energy as it has been previously.
We need to keep that up, the last few games have seen a stark improvement, if we can get someone in up top then we should improve our scoring performance
Wed Jan 15, 2025 11:41 am
Other experienced manager wont come, because they will want a long term contract! And no way will Vinnie give one of these as he has been caught a few times before? So where does this leave us, with the likes of Riza who in my opinion is slowly getting there, but his could mean a close call and flirting with relegation.

Great post.
Ninian27/always city is back with his negativity. It’s not helpful.

Since Riza took over, we're 15th in the league on form. Over the last 6 games we're 18th in the form table. And remarkably we're 7th on away form.
We were bottom of the table and 4pts from safety and with -15 GD after just 7 games. Now we're 1pt outside of the bottom 3 and with a GD that is pretty comparable to all of our rivals.
Is Riza the man to take us forward beyond the end of the season? I think no, not unless I see a noticeable improvement.
Sacking him now will be worse for the club than keeping him. We play all of the current bottom 3 in February, it's a huge month for us and not the time to be messing around with a new manager and staff, fiddling with line ups and formations.
My prediction is come April, our safety in the Championship will be confirmed with games to spare
Wed Jan 15, 2025 4:07 pm
In my humble opinion, last night we played with passion and desire and thats all I ask though I do believe that an experienced manager would have closed that game out with 10 minutes to go, he didnt and though I understand tired palyers I just felt that it was coming and I was praying with 5 minutes added that they wouldnt add a 2nd.
Saturday, it will be a thumping for one side or the other
Wed Jan 15, 2025 4:18 pm
Unfortunately this is as good as it gets, until the board move on.
Wed Jan 15, 2025 6:46 pm
The data say Bulut did ok for his first season in the championship and we were confident of not being in a relegation battle.
Warnock thought he bought well when we were relegated from the premier league and we were one of the favs to go automatically up.
In reality, both seasons went up in smoke before the dark nights as the recruits looked poor and the established players didn't find any of their previous form.
Our defense looks solid, not unpenetrable, too many games are lost at the death because we haven't closed out the game by scoring a second.
The midfeild is solid, its not creative, Turnbull was going off the boil by the time of his injury and we get fleeting glimpses of Colwill.
The attack is woeful though. Ashford has burst onto the scene but the rest are garbage including the one good game two anonymous Robinson.
Riza wasn't much of a player but i reckon he could do a better job than half our lot.
I am not looking at the manager until we don't need to play Willock, Tanner, Meite or use Colwill as the 9, false or not.

That’s a sensible post and one I agree with.
We make chances, but we can’t take them. We are playing Colwill or Willock or Meite as a 9 and they aren’t.
There’s not a manager out there who can be blamed for us not scoring when we are making the chances.
If we actually had a decent striker last night we would have pissed that game.
Wed Jan 15, 2025 8:11 pm
Fans didn't like the boring football from the previous managers.
Yet Riza is actually starting to get the team to play good stuff to watch and gel as a team.
Let's not forget to get a win and a draw against a good side like Watford is a result.
Chambers and Rim were written off and slated until of recent.
He and his team have found away of getting something out of them.
We are making all the right moves but badly need a proven striker up front to convert our many chances into goals.
Considering we haven't got one the 2 games against Watford is a cracking result.
They were bound to come at us as we hadn't killed the game off due to the lack of a striker to put us several more ahead.
But up until then they weren't even in the game.
We beat them to everything.
Just need the finisher up front.
Also CR8 has been out due to suspension maybe it would have been a different story if he had been playing.
Rize ain't no Pep.
But I'll give him my respect he's done more in making us look like a team than any of the previous managers in a while.
I just wish others would too.
Get a good striker in then judge as the lack of one is out of his hands ATM.
