3 wins 1 clean sheet in 20 games, it's just not good enough! we deserve so much more.
Just look at the fans today turning up in numbers once again to see our team only perform for 1 half
Next season i'm sorry to say we need a new manager new staff and a lot of new quality players added.
And that is if we stay up! we are just super lucky teams under us are doing just as crap.
the last few years has been a joke for us, im sick of hearing next season this next season that!

Not lost 14 of those games though, you can always find a stat to suit what you're trying to say.
I'll say what I've always said. Riza was brought in to keep us up.
I don't like that lack of ambition but that's where we are and I do still think we'll stay up.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:04 pm
I agree with Kyle 100%
3 Wins in 20 games
2pts from last 12 pts
18pts from 60pts
Absolutely Awful and how can anyone Defend this ??
One of the Worst Defences.

Only lost six of those games though, it's not like we've lost 20 games in a row.
Two of the six we lost were against the top two as well.
We were inside the bottom three when Riza took over and we're currently outside the bottom three.
Don't like the lack of ambition of just trying to stay up but that is where we are.
Still believe we'll stay up with Riza.
Would I keep him next season even if we do stay up? No, but also don't think the board will have the sense to bring in anyone better.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:24 pm
How anyone can defend 3 wins in 20 is crazy. Riza definitely isn’t the manager to take us forward

All I'm saying is be careful what you wish for.
People think that if Riza goes then Cooper or someone like that will replace him.
The reality is it will be Purse or Shaw.
The problem at this club is not the manager, it never has been - it's the board.

And where are we just above bottom 3 , not long ago humiliation at Leeds .
All these months and we have not pulled away, Riza looks for draws and that could relegate us.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 6:47 pm
Only question I have is that is our squad good enough to stay up?
I keep hearing they are a lot better than of late and if so when are we going to see that being better?
Sat Feb 22, 2025 7:17 pm
.ay survive but need a new defensive coach and need a head coach because unless we fi we will be relegated with same coaching staff! We live in hope riza will stop bei defensive but he doesn't and while may have lost few of last 20 games we have not won many? Riza should know get 2 more points for a win than a draw .... how many points have he cost us by being negative
Sat Feb 22, 2025 8:21 pm
Bulut saying his squad is good enough , Riza saying he needs 2 players , we've got a 4m striker 6m midfielder and a rising star from Leicester which has brought us into competing with others , we were so far off a good side , even with these additions to our squad we're still in a relegation battle
I always thought we had riches in defence but 1 clean sheet in 22 proves me wrong
Bar for Leeds Sheffield, I think it's a poor championship, yet we struggle and make hard work of it

The problem of course is that football is a game where the only thing that matters at the end of the season is how many points you have accumulated and 18 points out of 60 available will almost guarantee you relegation.
Technically you could draw every game in a season and could proudly declare that you have gone a whole season unbeaten.
However, as you'd end up with a total of 46 points it's extremely likely that you'd be relegated.
It's wins we need now - nothing else will be enough to keep us up.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 8:46 pm
Sadly I think our inability to hold on to a lead will end up costing us our place in this division, we're so soft at the back we just don't look capable of grinding out scrappy 1-0 wins

We'll stay up.
The fact that's our ambition is on the owner.
I'm not going to call for Riza to go because I will be less confident of us staying up if he does. He's the best of a few bad options.
Would also point out we are not desperate for wins because we're not in the bottom three at the moment.
If we were in Plymouth's position, then yes the need for wins would be desperate. But we just want wins to get ourselves out of the battle.
I repeat that today was a much better result for us than it was for Plymouth.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 8:56 pm
Go on the Plymouth forum if they have one or failing that the BBC match report comments has then in total meltdown mode about our time wasting, anyone would think we were the only team to ever do it. Nothing to do with their 1 shot on target all game, or Alnwick's injury, it was all the refs fault for letting us waste time.
Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:54 pm
I agree with most on here .I like Riza but the team doesn't have a killer instinct they don't put teams away .We play to nice just like the manager.
Playing safely football and trying to hold a 1-0 and not go at teams has cost us wins and wins is how you stay up .It's not staying up we should be talking about though .we need to be higher up the league .The last 20 games a lot of fans are also being to nice .We could be relegated it's on the cards .
We got about 13 games left to grow a pair of balls and win games got to be ruthless and we arnt it's nervy and safe which has let us to this .The ingredients is there just got to use it .As Riza is nice don't want to be horrible but last 20 games haven't been good enough to many ifs buts and maybes. What counts now is wins end of story or we will be in another league next season

This team should be doing better , it’s just not good enough ,
Why after we scored did we go so messy ? What a shit game
Sat Feb 22, 2025 10:31 pm
After the red card Rita panicked and had us defending to deep inviting Plymouth to score which they did, managers fault end of.

That’s how I seen it mate,yes we had 10 men but we needed to get up the pitch we basically sat in our box all second half,he can say the one point his good as long as he wants but for me just felt like we was just waiting for them to score and in the end they did because we was to deep

Same old bollox ever week in terms of the agenda by some on here.
Same posts, same points. Just adding on one game to the ‘19’ from last week.
Said it last week and said it again, post the whole story.
Stop with your agendas trying to influence fans to follow your own personal views.
I agree with Ned 100%.
Sun Feb 23, 2025 12:38 am
Every week I say to myself we need to win today ,now I must say it out loud I’m very worried ,the team looks great on paper but not so great on the pitch looking at our next block of fixtures I think it’s going to be very tough for us now .

We're not in the bottom three.
People seem to think we are.

Well Once we beat Hull at home on Tuesday we will be able to say something positive.
The Agenda is to Win games.
Not be stuck in a relegation battle for the whole season.
As to adding on more and more games without a win, it’s only what’s been happening and the facts.
We need wins, that’s why we have not pulled aaay from the relegation battle, one place above:

Riza is a crap manager and missed opportunity when we sacked bulut to get a decent manager in .

Well Luton Derby Hull and Plymouth haven't done any better in 20 games so it's a case of who can accumulate more points than the other until end season at least we are not on a long losing streak?
It will take a team below us to start doing something haven't managed so far and win more than one game at a time .... if we were bottom 3 yes 18 out 60 will see you relegated but we are not bottom 3 so take worse record in remaining games to see us relegated.... riza needs to grow some balls and be adventurous when setting up team especially against the likes of hull and other weaker sides.

I agree with this. There is no one replacing him of any worth and we know it
