Leeds squad value 173m

If we spent another 127m we wouldn’t have lost 7 nil.

That is the difference.



Value and what was paid ate two different things we haven't spent more than 10m for our squad... and if we sold it now it won't come anywhere near 46m more like 20m or less .... even 127m is over stated for Leeds but gulf in class is about £127m

The point is the 127m or one hundred million difference in squad value and quality.

Does that Warrant a Massacre?

I don’t see them doing this to other Teams?

If you look at the stats for their other games many are the same 20+ shots to about 4 or 5. Against us they were more clinical and we set ourselves up to be completely open.

Personally, I would’ve parked the bus big time. Five across the back three centre halves and two genuine fullbacks not wingbacks.

i would’ve played 4 in midfield with Ralls on the left and Rino on the right, Chambers and new guy in the middle with Salech up top. We were way too open, many on this site saying they thought we’d get something out of the game, that confidence was probably in the management team as well.

Risa has done well but made some mistakes that he’ll learn from, Leeds, going defensive too early at Bristol etc.

Annis is clearly not a Risa fan calling him inexperienced in most of his posts…. Who do you want, experience like Mick Mc not for me.

Risa has insight in to the English youth system and contacts there he’s obviously using.

Give him a long run, you learn more from your mistakes than your successes.

100% Riza is inexperienced and it’s a Fact.

Love his Passion / Pride etc

But NO one else would have taken him in the Championship as Manager with his awful record.

I don’t just want to stay up every season and struggle, I want to see Ambition by Our Hierarchy.

If I am wrong why are actual Hone Attendances by Cardiff Fans going down?

You might be happy with just staying up, But I make NO
apologies I am not .


Riza managed a very low non league team called Chesnut which he won 12 games out of 49 then Leyton orient where he won 1 game out of 7 before being sacked twice.

That’s his CV

Our unbeaten run rather hid the fact that we have got into the habit of starting games very poorly and even though it was 8 games unbeaten it was only 4 wins in 18 games.

After the defeat at Oxford, we did score early at Watford, in the home game v Coventry and in the Cup at Sheffield United and recovered quickly to equalise after Middlesbrough went ahead early on.

Since then though, we took a long time to get going against the jacks, conceded within little more than a minute at Millwall, Derby had a decent chance in the first minute before going on to have the better of the opening half against a very sluggish City team and we were 2-0 down after 13 minutes on Saturday.

For all that we were up against a superb side on Saturday, we’re starting poorly against ordinary Championship teams and we cannot do that away at Pompey.
