We are bottom of the table, quite rightly as we are crap. Hull will be looking at this game to kick start their season and no doubt will win. To say this is a game we should be winning is delusional and just setting the scene to have a go at the hierarchy come 5pm.

Lot being made of them not winning at home yet, they've only played 3 games and only one they lost was to Sheffield United who have had a very good start

There seems to be a lot of negativity towards Riza with many writing him off before his team has kicked a ball.

He's been thrown in at the deep end to manage to squad that's very low in confidence after losing 5 of it's first 6 games and drawing the other with an overall goal difference of -12.

Let's get behind Riza and the team, not criticise his appointment as interim manager.

It’s a bit unfair on Riza to expect us to rollover Hull away from home .Hes had a week with the players with his own coaching ideas not Buluts .The players are short of confidence and form so he’s had to address that first and then formulate a plan and style to hopefully get a result .Cut him some slack boys the board put him in this position or would you have preferred Purse :old: :bluescarf:

People already making their excuses for Riza in case we lose

....or is it people giving him a chance and not writing him off before a ball is kicked.

If he's not up to it then hopefully he won't get the job full time but let's get behind him and the team from the start.

I don't believe its excuses. I believe its giving a chance to someone who has had only a week to change the mentality of players who have had their attacking thoughts ripped out of them by Bulut.

Talk about writing someone off.

I'm not writing anyone off.

But if Tan's man Riza loses today then it will be a very bad result.

No pressure then . Perhaps to succeed we reduce the pressure.

This lad knows our players and strengths as does Purse .

The lad is a top coach with good backstory

These players either want it or they don't.

Rambo needs to step up and support .

Not as bad as losing 5-2 to Rotherham but you still happy with Bulut in charge after that disaster.

Because I judged it on a whole season, where we outperformed expectations. I didn't just judge it on a few games at the end of the season.

Bulut also had vast experience of being a manager so I expected an improvement this season.

That didn't happen and, as you know, after Burnley I was clear that he had to go.

I was at both Rotherham and Burnley. They were two of the worst performances I've seen.

But I wanted stability.

Obviously that wasn't possible in the end so I was wrong in hindsight to call for Bulut to stay and I've said that.

But I do not believe Riza can replace him because he has no experience.

If he wants any hope of getting the job then he needs to win today.

And I'll judge Riza after the 3 games and not after one game, or before his team have even kicked a ball like some have.

Fair play, Riza has picked an attacking team as promised.

Now let's get the win :bluebird:

Re: Riza had better be ready

Sat Sep 28, 2024 3:26 pm

Riza was ready. Our defenders have been seemingly drugged.

Re: Riza had better be ready

Sat Sep 28, 2024 3:52 pm

He won't win any of these games, the players are demoralised needs someone to kick their collective arses.

Absolute rubbish.

Some interim managers only have a couple of days to get ready and he's had a whole week.

Hull haven't won at home, we need to get a result.

He shouldn't get the job after anyway but if he fails to get a result from this it will be awful.


I'd like to reply and say, I told you he would need longer to change things, but I cannot.

I did not expect his changes to lead to a drubbing by an awful Hull City side.

To be fair to him he can't do much when defenders are making stupid mistakes like that.

Re: Riza had better be ready

Sat Sep 28, 2024 5:33 pm

Everyone was praising him & say that was our best team before a ball was kicked so it's no good blaming the guy thrown into picking the team & blame the players. My only worry going forward is who the hell would take the job at the moment & get this lot playing.
