But you said Riza the Players never had the right mentality

Thu Apr 03, 2025 3:23 pm

After the Sheffield Wednesday game???

Make up your mind??





Omer Riza:

"People get nervous, there's a lot to lose. Fans look at it and they don't want to imagine what could happen.”

“That's all part and parcel of football. I get it, I understand it. It's our jobs to make sure that doesn't happen.”

“We will go into this game with the same mentality we did Sheffield Wednesday - especially the first half - and look to get a result.

This is what he said after the Wednesday game.

"They didn't apply enough pressure in the second half. They sat and allowed them to have a bit more time in the midfield areas, which put us on the back foot, which was disappointing.”


Today he said he wants the same mentality as the first half, so that is the same as he said last Saturday.

So he's not saying different to what he said after the Wednesday game.

Criticism of Riza is fine and fair but to make out he's saying something completely different to last week is not right.

This is also what he said to the BBC:

"It just seems to be an element of a mental thing with these boys( players) ," Riza said after the draw at Cardiff City Stadium.

Fair point actually, Riza does seem to be contradicting himself.

He does seem to bounce around with his opinions.

It’s as if he’s trying to please Tan in one interview, then the fans in another, all whilst not taking any accountability himself

As much as I loved that win, the Jacks were pretty shite on the day, if we played them again I don't think they would capitulate so easy. :bluebird:

The annoying thing for me is he just does not seem to get the position we are in, it is in our hands but also out of our hands if the ones above keep winning. I cannot stand all these technical words they use to cover up a shite display. Even the youngest fan knows that against Wednesday if you stop Barry Bannan you stop Wednesday which we did in the first half and Mannswerk was all over him and then he takes Mannswerk off, completely mad and you could see Mannswerk was well pissed off. Its that bad we even have opinions off we need Wintle back...really.

I have tried to stay positive with Riza but he baffles me sometimes and our position is down to him and some poor performances by individual players. :bluebird:
