THE SOFT UNDERBELLY OF CARDIFF CITY

Wed Feb 12, 2025 10:00 am

The last three away games Millwall, Leeds and Pompey have seen them all tear into us for the first 20 minutes resulting in the games just about lost, IT'S THE SAME SCRIPT EVERYTIME, why are we not prepared for it? why are we not set up to weather the storm and then start putting our stamp on the game? There are too many players who are not rolling their sleves and not ready for the fight ahead. Is it not also time to play Salech and Robinson together from the start of a game? as for "managing" Ramsey, have we not been managing him for the last two years? It's now time to play him every league game (rest him against villa) if he breaks down so be it but we need him playing. Mr Riza, you said you were the man for this job, we've won one game away all season, only 3 wins from the last 19 league games and we need 20 points from 15 games to stay up. I like many others stated that you shouldn't have been given the job and you're out of your depth, well now is the time to prove us all wrong.

His one job was to keep us up, still on course to do that.

There were always going to be twists and turns as the season went on.

Changing manager now would probably make relegation more likely if anything.

I actually havn't said to change him on this thread,(although i have on another) this is more of a concern that there seems to be no fight in the team when up against it and certain players should be playing. Would many clubs keep a manager with 3 wins out of 19 including having 7 rammed past us two weeks ago??

No but you did say on this thread that you think he's out of his depth, which I disagree with.

You ask whether another club would keep a manager with this run of form. The question is have we improved under Riza and the answer to that is yes.

That's not my opinion, that's a fact based on how we've done since he's took charge.

His remit wasn't top six, top half or mid table. It was to keep us up - we are on course to do that.

Have we improved under Riza, of course we have because the bar was set that low it would have been hard not to. Buluts record was one point from the first six games. You have to admit our away form (which includes a 7,5 and 4 goal thumpings) is shocking with one win all season, if this doesn't improve we will go down.

Five teams have a worse away record than us. Portsmouth are good at home but get practically nothing away.

It's weird because some are talking as if we're cut adrift but we're not even in the bottom three.

I still say that bringing in a new manager would make relegation more likely because of the disruption it would cause.

We are 1 game away from been in the bottom 3.
