It must be great being employed as a footballer. You can make dreadful mistakes, make little effort and it all gets blamed on a bloke on the touch line.

exactly, it's just a classic side in a bad run reactionQuote:

Ho hum.
I'm not in the 'Riza out' camp by any means, but I think he's made the subs because he felt he should, not because he needed to. Willock wasn't 'done' and was our only effective outlet to keep possession in the Stoke half.Quote:

Mr happy .:xmasthumbup:Quote:

Free hit really. Can't see anyone with any sense see City picking up any points?Quote:

2 mistakes from Alnwick but I know he pulled out a few quality saves.
Shame really
He came for the ball and you can see halfway through the run up he's thought Bollocks...... He knows he hasn't got a chance, the delivery was good, the space was crowded and the ball wasn't hit with a lot of pace, It's on Alnwick and if he's going to come, then he has to be aggressive to stand any chance of even creating enough of a problem to offset the attacking player. A word for those defending the set piece, piss weak, didn't even try to compete for the ball.Quote:

What was he thinking for their second goal?!Quote:

Still it a point gained :xmasthumbup:Quote:

Our creative players have one manual it seems, if it works then great, when it doesn't they have absolutely no idea how to mix it up, think differently, use some intelligence in order to break the opposition, they continue to do the same things with the same result, because in my opinion they're daft, they lack the intelligence needed at pivitol moments during a game. It;s all well and good looking the part when things are going our way. Defensively we don't work hard enough as a unit. just my opinion. :xmasthumbup:Quote:

3 points from a possible 21, why would anyone think that this is okay is beyond beliefQuote:

If you gain a point away it’s little use if you lose 3 on the bounce at home, especially to sides that were on a poor run before they came to us.
For those that think it isn’t on Riza fair play to you for being so optimistic
3 points from 21 is relegation form in anyone’s book and is a result of having probably the most least qualified person for the role ever.
But never mind he’s a really nice guy apparently 🤷*♂️
