It's safe to say that a fair number of City fans don't feel he's the right man for the job of being our manager - I'm on the fence in that I hope he does well but have few expectations, think we could do much better, but Riza is at least better than Bulut.
A win today would help his case in the short term and maybe change a few opinions of him.
I think we will win today.Quote:

Me too! I just woke up. The game is on the telly and I'm feeling pretty good about it. About to make some coffee.Quote:

I know he lost his head a bit towards the end, but isn't it nice to see a bit of passion from a Cardiff manager around a derby game?
Wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's really growing on me, and into his role. Long may it continue.
He got it spot on today, he had some tough decisions to make at CM and RB but he got them wrong. At kick off I thought playing Ralls was potentially a mistake but the result and performance speaks for itself.
Well done Riza especially considering the circumstances.
I think I'm probably correct in saying that if Ng was playing today he wouldn't have been on the pitch at the final whistle. Riza got that spot on..Quote:

However, I think he's spoken well recently and I really liked that aggressive side which ultimately got him sent off.
Bagan was excellent and is now a better defender than O'Dowda, strangely his going off helped and we improved.
Well done Riza, spot on today and made the tramps look like utter shyte they are.
Bagan has always been a better defender. It’s just O’Dowda offers more further up the pitch (often one of only a few so he gets the job). I’d prefer COD further forward anyway.Quote:
