I'm not denying that. While I'm on the fence regarding Riza, and I know you've never wanted him in charge from the start, so our opinions will differ, our overall form under Riza should see us survive relatively comfortably. To lumber him with Bulut's start would be unfair. Riza was lucky to survive after that defeat to Oxford but, since then, we're 14th in the form table, that's with us throwing away too many points from winning positions. 4 wins is disappointing, but 4 defeats in 14 is more than reasonable.
