Much has been said and written about Riza's tactical naivety and repeatedly making the same mistakes. But for a novice manager you were never going to get a Daniel Farke or Chris Wilder. I would hold the person making the choice to employ our present manager more culpable than the manager.

So then, if Malky had taken over this squad after a few games of the season where would we be?

This is clearly a hypothetical question, but we can but dream. Putting Malky and this squad together I believe we would be looking at a 10th-8th position.

In saying that I'm not castigating Riza. We simply needed a far more experienced manager than we got.
