Really needed 3pts today

Sat Mar 29, 2025 7:50 pm

I honestly believe today was 2pts dropped and I’ve come home feeling like we lost today…

Riza seriously is so far out of his depth it’s unbelievable. He spent more time speaking with Ramasut and Purse and watching the iPad instead of reacting to Wednesdays changes., nobody can come in with 3 or 4 mins left and have an impact let alone when you move a right winger to right back giving no attacking option on that side!!

I know Goutas hasn’t been at his best this season but we lacked height for their corner and got punished from it.

Our corners are pathetic, wrong player taking them. When your banging them in left footed you don’t want the ball swinging out towards the 18 yard box, you want them swinging in putting pressure on the defence and keeper.

The lads seemed to forget how to talk to each other at times with 2 or 3 of them going for the same balls.

The changes, when they finally came, were questionable… I mean I understand taking a defender off for an attacking player but putting Ollie Tanner at RB was pointless and killed any chance of attack and put us under more pressure. Either Drop Chambers back or go 3 at the back! But I would have taken Chambers off to put Colwill on to attack.

Taking Salech off was just a stupid decision.

We can’t keep relying on clubs around us to trip up, for results to go our way, we need to be stepping up and taking control of our own destiny, at the moment though under Riza it’s full steam ahead to League One…. All Riza will be k ow for is getting the 2 teams he’s managed relegated.

Great 125th anniversary season!!! Demotion on the cards and looking ever more likely with each passing week.

Tan should have sacked him before the international break and got somebody else in giving them 2 weeks to get to know the lads during training.

I honestly think that Rambo should be given the managers job until the end of season, get Warnock and his team in to help him, get Rambo through the rest of his badges during the summer and go with Rambo next season. Honestly think it’s worth a gamble even at this late stage of the league.

Either way Riza needs to go this week. Along with Purse and Ramusut. Don’t even demote Purse back down the levels just get shot of him completely.

We all pay hard earned money to go watch City, I don’t expect to win every match even though it would be a nice thing, what I do expect though is a manager who’s not afraid to try something, not afraid to pull players off and bench them for under performing. I want a manager who will scream and shout at the players, be a threat in the attacking 3rd. If we play attacking football, quick play out from the back etc and we lose at least they’ve tried and we can go home knowing they’ve put tv a shift in, not coming home feeling like this.

Time to go Riza, and Tan get out of our club!!!

I can't agree with giving Ramsey the job, that's no different to Riza in my opinion.

International break was the perfect time to source a new manager but they didn't do it. I can't see them doing it now for that reason.

That Blackburn win has probably relegated us. it papered over the cracks and they are awful at the moment. Had we lost it may have forced Tan into action. We are now stuck with an inept manager who can't get his team to grind out results for 90 minutes. His excuses about mentality again today tell you how out of depth he is. Maybe dropping into the bottom 3 mid week will focus minds with the players. I still don't think we are properly fighting for our lives yet and being in the bottom 3 may just add something.

I would have had this game and the matches we face v Stoke and Oxford as key games to Win .
