Luton are below us and conceded only two less.

That's not the reason. It's just that the players we brought in to replace him aren't good enough.

Fish needs a run in the team to show what he can do because Daland hasn't helped.



Daland is the weak link he makes errors every game dome costly some get away with he's to indecisive with way we play..

Agree with you Allan, he just hasn't worked this league out yet.

Fish came up through the United academy so knows English football inside and out. Interested to see how he does tomorrow but should be given a run in the team anyway, unless something calamitous happens.

Not only the worst defence in a generation, but the worst team, the worst squad, and the worst management,,,, totally shambolic, and embarrassing…

This is the worst Cardiff City defence in a generation – if it's not fixed it will take them down



No Cardiff team has conceded 53 goals after 31 games in the Championship.

Inexperience? Lack of leadership? Players out of position? Unsettled back line? Midfield make-up? Not learning from mistakes?

The Bluebirds have 15 games left to avoid relegation and it has to start from the back, Riza has been in total charge since the 6th game of the season and has to take a lot of the blame. Purely on numbers, there is a strong argument to suggest this is the worst Cardiff City defence in a generation.

No Bluebirds team has ever conceded more than a half-century of goals after 31 games in the two-decades-long Championship era, but the 7-0 hammering at Elland Road last week saw City raise their bats, with a further two conceded at Fratton Park on Tuesday moving them on to 53 not out with 15 games still to go.

The main management team is Riza, Purse and Shaw.

Only one team, Portsmouth with 55, have conceded more goals this season than Cardiff, an alarming statistic that must be addressed and corrected for this crucial run-in of fixtures which will determine in which division they play their football next season.

Not learning from his mistakes is the melting pot — how often have Cardiff conceded that same goal, again and again, whereby an opposition winger is played in behind the full-back only to square it to a striker to tap home? Inexperience has played its part as well, which Omer Riza alluded to this week. Rinomhota has not played right-back in the Championship before this season, Will Fish has never played in the Championship, nor had Jesper Daland before this term.

This is the potential drawback of reducing the average age of your squad, there are often players learning on the job but it is also a necessary evil if clubs want value pumped into the club and to reap the financial rewards down the line.

There have been heavy, heavy losses which have served to exacerbate that number, too. The 7-0 and 5-0 drubbings by top-two Leeds and Burnley respectively have not helped the goals against column. In both of those games, everything the two teams hit seemed to fly into the back of the net. Conceding four against Hull City and the Boxing Day nightmare at Oxford United, when Cardiff let three go in, were also disappointing outings.

Worst manager I can remember, 3 wins in 18 is woeful.


One point from six games before he took over.

Thirty points from twenty five games since he took over.

You said earlier that Riza is the worst manager you’ve seen.

Bulut had a worse record, especially at the start of the season.

Talk about an agenda.

Nothing to do with McGuiness going.

Leeds although it was a shocking result are a class above anyone else in this division, that isn’t really the issue here.

What is an issue is how we perform against teams who are down there with us, teams we should be getting results against, like Pompey. Even then though, our away form is abysmal and their home form is good.

My poll yesterday just highlights how many people are too quick to get rid of a manager with over 15 people keen to get rid even if it was Purse who took over. That isn’t good for us at all.



Your poll never made sense.

I don’t see Leeds beating everyone else 7-0 ??
Do you

Or 5 or 6 nil every week ?

Purse is even worse than the puppet Riza.

None of them are good enough if we are ambitious
