Riza cost us 2 points today

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

yes he probably cost us 2 points, but he also has us looking like a team that can score and a much better team to watch than we were only a few weeks ago. for me our trajectory as a team is far more important in deciding whenever he stays as manager or not than one individual error that he should learn from

I know what you are saying but the improvement you point out is a basic standard of any National League side. What he then demonstrated that he is Bulut in reverse and just as negative in a different way.

That doesn't make me feel any better if he's going to make knee jerk reactions when we are 1-0 up. He's a bottler GET RID

we are improving rapidly under him, and you want to get rid after one bad call. you're the bottler

For a good part of today's game we were far from shite.

Shame as he had thrown caution to the wind since taking over and got us playing on the front foot. I’m sure will regret it, especially as it’s probably cost him any chance he had of getting the job full time. He would have 100%. been in the running had he picked up another win today.

At least it shows we have the players to play on the front foot and finally Colwill is getting a run as a proper 10.

Hopefully Nathan Jones doesn’t come in with his pragmatism and rip it all up.

Onwards and upwards.

Absolutely. We can play some good and exciting football and get away from the relegation places and build something for next season. We don't need a manager who will revert to trying to grind results game after game.

You said this stuff about Morison. You're suggesting Riza will learn. You champion these caretaker managers and it always ends it tears. I mentioned the other day that it's all about risk with top appointments. No appointment is without risk but Riza is too big a one.

Makes you wonder how wrong Bulut got things.

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

It was the call of someone who was more focused in having a shot at the job than looking what we needed to do to win the game. In a similar position against Millwall he brought on Meite, who limited as he was, at least occupied the backline.

This time he moved Colwill from a position of influence into a role into which he is not equipped to play. Regardless of the qualities that gave us the lead his short term self focussed thinking cost us two points today because a miserable Bristol side were there for the taking in the second half!

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

He probably thought putting O'Dowda infront of Bagan was a good move but he seems to have lost his way badly at the moment as he was at fault for their goal. Our defence is still very slow moving up after clearing the ball and squeezing up which in turn leaves our midfield leaving gaps behind. As for Riza who knows.

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

Prior to the subs I was impressed with how he had us playing but to make that change on 66 minutes was idiotic

Bagan was doing fine without O Dowda.

He's done really well since coming in.

While today's subs were a disaster Bagans introduction is another positive for Riza.

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

To be fair there's been clear improvement in the last 2 matches, but today really showed that a) this squad is more capable than it has looked so far this season and b) we need more experience to get the best out of it and to instil better game management.

Re: Riza cost us 2 points today

We were in control with Colwill running the game, and creating chances.

To make those defensive substitutions so far from the end of the game was mindless.

The players did well today but Riza proved that he is not management material making such stupid decisions.

Get a proper manager in please.

Absolutely did. We could and should have won.

Well we couldn't of got any worse. Even stopped clock .... .
