I honestly don't think Riza knows what to do. Nice enough bloke on the surface, but his management inexperience is evident in his constant switching of players, set ups and tactics.
Like I posted earlier, we've just got to win our games, but there's a very interesting fixture on the weekend - Portsmouth v Derby. If Portsmouth win it, we'd need to do our stuff against Stoke to put both them and Derby behind us and we're back in control of our own destiny.
Not sure where the likes of Ralls, Robinson, Alnwick, Ramsey and the like are in all this. The senior players should be knocking on Riza's door and pointing out the issues. Surely they can see the changes in formation and constantly rotating players isn't doing us any favours.
So, how many points for safety? I reckon 48 will do it. In fact Pompey and Oxford could both do it today. We need 6 more (at least) - 3 today would go a long way towards that. please log in to view this image
I’m predicting today: Luton 2 Blackburn 0 Sheff Wed 1 Oxford 1 Portsmouth 1 Derby 1 Plymouth 1 Sheff U 2 City 1 Stoke 1 If correct - most unlikely but still - that would by my calculations keep the bottom 4 as it is now with GD keeping us above Luton. ps Hull don’t play until Monday v Coventry
Stoke fans reckon they will win - they just need to keep Colwill quiet. It's only our own fans who don't rate him. I'm sure he will thrive next season with another club. Just keep him off set piece duty
Colwill has done nothing to justify his selection. What do Stoke fans know? They are Stoke fans after all.
