If Riza gets the job can we stay up?

If Riza gets the job can we stay up?

Good question.

He needs more players in January, without a doubt. But that would be the case whoever the manager is.

Today was further proof we need another striker. Robinson has his fitness problems so can't play every game.

Also needs a back up midfielder and probably a CB.

If we stick with this squad for the rest of the season, it could well be too close for comfort.

That's no criticism of Riza by the way, Alex Ferguson in his prime would struggle with this squad.

I said yes, mainly because I thought it was a yes/no question, had I seen the 3rd option I would have gone for that because we need a striker.

Anyone would need a starting Left wing, Right WIng and centre forward

We still got Fish and the Japanese lad is making his way back

It would be very tight,think we need an experienced manager who is able to pick up a few extra points here and there.
Therefore my answer is a no.

Yes but I am frankly sick of this groundhog day, season after season. We are only in the bottom 3 by a wafer thin margin- goals scored and the league is very tight. I think Portsmouth , Plymouth, QPR, Oxford and Preston are worse than us. We need a striker to comfortably stay otherwise is a real struggle. The board need stop fannying around now. Make a dam decision to back Riza or get another manager this window

True, although no idea if that Japanese CB is good enough because haven't seen him play.

Agree we need another winger.

Whoever the manager is, they'll need more players.

I will say bottom five guaranteed and if it goes to the wire under Riza I say he would take us down because of his inexperience

Annis

That's how I see it also.

We'd need to be well clear before the real business end of the season or his inexperience could be a major factor.

Exactly.

Plus Riza has two inexperienced coaches by his side.

Very very worrying

I can't see what anyone else could do with this lot. I'd shore it up a bit by adding another centre half at the expense of El Ghazi and play 3421, but other than that not sure what an experienced manager could do.

Its got to be one of the poorest starting attacking group in the league

Riza needs to go now or we go down, we seem to be happy if we just avoid relegation, that is alarming

I think yes, definitely, even with the current squad. We are better than the worst 3 teams in the championship. Yes we have lost the last 2 games but the football is far better than last season and the players look like they want to win whereas last season that didn't come across.

We need a striker, that's obvious to us all, and hopefully we can get a good one in January.

What we are seeing from many today is a knee jerk reaction because we have lost 2 on the bounce but I feel that's down to a weak squad. We had no one to come on that would change the game for us today and that would have happened whoever was manager.

Get rid of the dead wood and bring 3 or 4 in in January and we're looking at mid table at least under Riza.

Yes. His average points will be more than needed to go down.

However, I think it slows down any form of positive progression.

Oxford are far better than Cardiff. Will finish higher than Cardiff based on what I’ve seen which is most of both teams matches. They have 6 players coming back over intentional break. 3 will be first teamers and strengthen their team and bench a lot. Kanga and Meite get nowhere near Oxford’s bench.

Plymouth will probably get rid of Rooney and that might give them a push.

Portsmouth won today and Josh Murphy is fit now.

Not seen QPR but Preston are awful.

Yes easy in my opinion

Can we get an 'Oxford Jizz filter' as well as one for Wrexham?

Cardiff will finish higher than Oxford this season and the next 20. Bookmark it.

I am totally aligned with Annis. We need an experienced manager...now

I respond when people make comments about a team I watch every week. People like you who have no clue about football and just say that Cardiff will finish above a team based on no knowledge at all and just because they only got promoted.

It’s patronising prick fans like you which make me not care about how Cardiff are actually doing anymore. Cardiff has a serious over inflated optimism of themselves. It’s based on nothing. We are a bit part player in a championship that has moved on. Quicker we realise that the better.

It's a football forum. You're pushing the Oxford message and write an essay with a sprinkle of abuse when someone pulls you up on it. Calm down haha.

Just so we're crystal clear though...I don't care who you support and bow down to your superior knowlege of football. See you in the next threads, you have my attention

If we just avoid relegation this season, then We have NO Ambition at all.

Our fans are fed up just 17,000 their yesterday, away support has increased massively the last 3 seasons to the CCS.
But our home support is dwindling

That’s the issue. There is a state of apathy at the club and has been for a while.

All true I think we all care for our club and there is a state of apathy at the club .Some fans have an over inflated attitude to how big our club is because we are a capital city .The Welsh public in general don’t attend any sport events or teams in large numbers unless it’s a football or rugby international because it’s an event and day piss up.The major problem with our club is the lack of direction and radio silence from the hierarchy ,there is no plan or joined up thinking because there is no football knowledge between them .I would employ Mowbray with Riza as coach so he can learn from an experience football man and eventually take over in the future . keep the faith

I'll let you know around Christmas time.

Riza has done well to get us out of the relegation zone but the danger was we will be back down there on a run of poor results. The pressure is on us to get away from the place after the mess left by Bulut. For me its going to be a close run thing.

But I want to know now Ian haha.

Some good conversations in here. I personally think he would keep us up but only if we can get a striker they actually knows where the goal is.
