9 wins?

It includes cup competitions, and the win on penalties over Stoke is classed as a win.

Games he's won:


Millwall home
Plymouth home
Portsmouth home
Norwich home
Watford away
Sheffield United away (cup)
Swansea home
Derby home
Stoke away (cup)

That’s not bad

That won’t matter though.

It’s all about the 20 games and the wins within those exact 20 games

Let’s not talk about the points picked up through draws through those 20 games, or the fact that the amount of losses during those 20 is actually relatively low, or about the unbeaten run in January, or about any games prior to the last 20.

You should know better Ned, tut tut.

I agree btw.

Your missing the point Ned,

As all managers virtually do he had a very good honey moon period.

It’s his recent record that now counts and whether he can change this.

2pts from last 12pts

3 Wins from last 20 League games

And this is why we are 4th from Bottom.

He needs to start winning games and it now starts with Hull City home and we continue from there.

Not wishing to be pedantic here but you don't get any points for winning a cup game.

Take out the Cup results and it's 32 points from 27 games.

1.18 points per game.

Not sure how that compares to the others.

People moaning about all the draws but every point counts. They might be what keep us up.

Comparing him to success, not the dregs (slightly unfair as it's arguably 3 of our best, but I'd rather look up than down)...

Dave Jones- 41.90%
Malky Mackay- 43.20%
Eddie May- 43.68%

Riza (time of writing)- 31%

Obvious statement - he needs more wins.

We need someone with experience and pedigree it's as simple as that. Someone with them needs to be brought in during the summer. Period.

If we want to be Relegated or just scrape up and stay up Riza is the manager.

If you want Success and go places Riza is NOT the right manager.

But who is going to come in now and do a better job of keeping us up this season?

They won't bring in an experienced manager. If will be Purse or Shaw.

If we want to progress next season then I agree we need to bring in someone better in the summer. But they won't show that ambition anyway.

Back to this season, changing manager now would just be plain stupid and in my opinion would lead to certain relegation.

But if we keep Riza until May then we will stay up.

Good result on Saturday in the circumstances and when we win tomorrow, the table will look much better.

Despite the bluster and bullshit that will come from Tan and Dalman about play offs and promotion it's clear that the only ambition that the club has is to be no lower than 21st in any season.

Tan still showing his complete stupidity by thinking that he can get a promotion by employing the cheapest most inexperienced backroom staff as possible whilst still thinking somebody will give him £200m for the club.

If we stay up I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Riza will be given a twelve month contract and that by the end of September (or sooner) we'll be looking for yet another manager.

As has been said a million times our club will continue to stagnate until the current regime leave and that unfortunately won't be until the Sala case is finally over.

David,

Sadly you are so spot on despite the very few Tan and Riza fans trying to twist things.

The Facts ate there.

The worrying statistic of that is 45 goals conceded.

Why is this even an argument? If riza goes purse comes in so stats will be an irrelevance and championship will be a distant memory.... we all know riza is not the one to take us forward and Tan will go cheap If replaces him next season .... why argue over stats when everyone knows they're used to enhance a personal agenda...... yes the winning stat is bad yet losing stat is good considering where club is and level of manager? It's the draw stat that is bad .....ahh well what do they say about stats?? So anyone got an agenda on draws.?

Explain how he is doing a good job currently please in full?

As results don’t say that and it’s results is it not that count?

Just thought I’d use the same phrase you did but change it to haters instead of lovers.

I’m not a Riza lover, and wouldn’t mind him going in the summer if the club has any ambition, which we know they don’t.

Right now I think it would be a stupid decision to get rid of him at this point of the season.

I’m not disagreeing with the fact that we need to win games, we do.

But your posts completely disregard the fact that we are still picking up points, crucial points that have kept us out of the bottom 3. They seem to disregard that we went unbeaten in January.

How have people who are sticking up for Riza & his record suddenly become Tan fans? The 2 things are totally unrelated in real life but here they're the same thing ? Make it make sense.

Agenda, agendas is all I see on here, they are just differing viewpoints, no one has an agenda!

We are just fans and all want Cardiff City to do well and have a modicum of enjoyment whilst supporting them.

IMO it boils down to 3 options

a) It's a good squad and we should be at least 10th or above and Riza is the issue
b) It's a poor squad and Riza is another issue
c) It's a poor squad and Riza is not the issue

I am in C.

I don't think Riza is the answer next season, but let's get there first

Picking up points currently 2 from 12 pts

And 18pts from 60pts available losing 42pts

We concede far to easy

We also have been humiliated recently

And current form is relegation form

Riza No matter what can not be here next season.

We finally should get a Win tomorrow night.

I’m No hater, I just see he’s not good enough for us to move forward.

i think his record is very poor to average to be in this postion with the squad we have is a failure of the manager
he picks the team he decides subs and when we have lost points because of his subs aswel for me disappointing season
hoping we stay up but wont hold my breathe i dont think much of him as a manager hoping we get somebody with better expirence this experiment has failed

The Current Squad should be at least 8th position.

How have people who are sticking up for Riza & his record suddenly become Tan fans? The 2 things are totally unrelated in real life but here they're the same thing ? Make it make sense.

Spot on.

I don't support Tan, I support the club and I back the manager.

I tried to say on here a few weeks ago that backing the manager doesn't mean you're a Tan lover, but people seem to have made their minds up that that's exactly what it means.

It doesn't.

You’re correct again Worcester.

Yes we need to win a few games and yes everyone’s disappointed but Riza’s ticking along and at the moment he’s the best we can hope for.

The Current Squad should be at least 8th position.

So let me get this right. You believe that Vincent Tan has assembled a squad that should be capable of being in the playoff picture?

No idea why some of you are protesting against Tan then, he must feel incredibly let down by the management team.

I think this is a very cheaply assembled squad occupying the league position it should be at.

Completely agree.

Players have been torn a new one on here since the start of the season, only a few weeks ago people were saying we have a league one squad.

Now that the focus is on showing that Riza is out of his depth, we all of a sudden have a top 8 team.
