MY VIEW: OH YET AGAIN WHY WHY WHY DO WE DEFEND AND GIVE IT AWAY AGAIN/ THEN GET BACK IN TO THE GAME AND DEFEND YET AGAIN AND COST US:


To be fair to Cardiff after a Disastrous start by Hovath and our defence, Cardiff got back in to the game and looked as good as Sunderland, especially when we attacked them.

BUT: Riza changed the formation to do his usual defending and bang Sunderland make it 2-1 77th min.

Thats 4 wins now in our last 22 League games or its 2 Wins cut in our last 11 games.

We had a 6pt cushion a week ago, now 4pts, We have to Beat Luton Tuesday night.

Cardiff have the 2nd worst defence in the Championship as we spend so much time trying to defend for a draw game after game.




Sunderland’s Recent Home Record:
Played 5 at Home Won 1 / Lost at Home to Hull recently and Drew at Home to Plymouth:









FIRST-HALF: What a pathetic awful start caused by Horvath and our defence with in 2 mins messing about passing it back:
Goal. Mayenda scored for Sunderland. (1-0).

It was All Sunderland chance after chance.


Sunderland player went off injured after only 24mins
Patrick Roberts picked up an injury and was replaced by Chris Rigg

It took 40 mins for Cardiff to finally attack properly and YES:
Patterson can't gather O'Dowda's cross under pressure from Salech, with Isaak able to smartly tuck home at the back post! (1-1)














SECOND-HALF: Cardiff came out more attacking:

52nd min: Salech hit inside of the post.

56th min: Double Sub by Sunderland

58th min: Alves replaced Isaak Davies who had a great game.


72nd min: Double Sub. Robinson off Fish Defender on
Chambers off Robertson on

Riza changed the formation to do his usual defending and bang Sunderland make it 2-1 77th min.


81mins Ashford on for Mannsverk

It was all Sunderland then.

His inexperienced has cost us so many points with his thinking let's hang on to what we got we better attacking so defending from the front sorry I've banged on about riza since Luton away before they gave him the job fulltime said we will be relegated I'm hoping we stay up but he's not making it easy for us Tuesday night now must win game draw is points dropped

Riza has to shoulder the responsibility of this today, he pulled his usual sub tactics of setting us up early to defend a draw.

It’s clearly not good enough. Constantly chasing games. It’s not a great advertisement to players who are in contract negotiations and it’s not a great advertisement to fans when season tickets are due for renewal!

All this crap of playing out from the back from goalkicks has to stop. Whoever is on goal just needs to put their boot through the ball and get us up field, it’s not just Hovarth as Alnwick does it too.

Honestly think Riza got the selection and formation wrong today.

On to Luton Tuesday

To negative again can't defend for shit .wrong tactics it's not working at all we are dog shit and going down playing like that.
Very very frustrating we are better than that .it doesn't work Mr riza time to change it listen to yourself

Darren Purse shouldn’t be anywhere near the teams, he’s too negative with everything

Its becoming very clear that Riza is too inexperience for this job. He continues to get the substitutions wrong and as we are stuck with him its going to be a close thing if we stay up. A bad run feels around the corner and it is feeling we do not mave the manager to pull us out of it.

We asked for an attacking line up and that's what Riza did but our defending is going to relegate us. The Luton game now piles a ridiculous amount of pressure on us and can see us losing. I've tried to be patient with Riza but it's now obvious his inexperience is costing us. Do we go for an emergency end of season manager or is it too late now?

if I didn't think the idiot tan wouldn't just put purse in the hot seat I'd say pull the plug now there's still 30 points to play for and I think we need 9 to survive a decent manager would get a tune out of this squad

I think the pressure is getting to him.. what with the grief of losing his father I do worry for him.
However, the club has to think long and hard.. so they change now and disrupt again or hang on till end of season and see where we are.
I hope one day Ramsey will be our manager, but is it too soon to put him in the pressure hot seat.

I personally have no confidence In him being able to keep us up it's poor and very frustrating.

Quite simply we shouldn't have lost the game... nothing wrong with the subs it was fact he changed tactics as well? We were comfortable then he decides to go to back 3 drop everyone else bar Salech inside our own half! He does this every game we draw level in and 99.9% it doesn't work
So why do it when doesn't need to? Your supposed to learn from mistakes but he hasn't learnt anything or gives appearanc he hasn't...:o
