" Omer Riza asks for the fans' help "

Omer Riza:


"Regarding our fans, I think they were behind us for a lot of the game and when you've let a goal in on 85-90 minutes it's expected that the hope goes from them and the only way they know to deal with it is to vent their frustration.

"All we can keep saying is that they're important to us, the club is important to them, so they need to help the best they can. They are frustrated, I understand that.

"It's hard for me to stand here and say what they should and shouldn't do because who am I to tell them what their feelings are? All I can say is we're trying our hardest and we all will continue to do that right to the end.

"It's been really tough for the players. I think some of the mistakes and some of the things we're doing at the moment are [under-] 21s levels at times and we need to try and sort it out as best we can, but the players have got to keep fighting.

"There are 12 points [to compete for] and we've got games in front of us like every other team.

"If you haven't got belief then what have you got? We have to keep fighting and there are four games to take points from."

He believes he can keep us up? Ffs there's nothing to suggest he will keep us up certainly not performances or results so what else is there to believe in? :banghead:

I mean, dislike him all you like, what else is he going to say?

He's not wrong with this statement, is he?

The fans tried our hardest for the majority of the game to spur the players on. We got nothing back apart from the odd wave of the hands from Tanner. Let’s not try and even out the blame here, you, your staff and the players are responsible for the mess we find ourselves in.

Not wrong but shows a lack of empathy for the fans as well..... he should have stood down after Saturday saying he can't motivate the players it's been done many times before... instead he's holding on to a false belief he can do something he's only done once or twice since November win a game of football now its 3 out of four?...

Spot on Underhill. It hasn’t been the last few games has it? Except for the odd game how can you get excited and spur the team on when you press slowly, constantly pass the ball backwards or sideways slowly, don’t cross the ball properly and don’t shoot or create chances. It might be a job for him but for the supporters it’s supposed to be entertaining and enjoyable. Yet nothing has been done.

If he's asking the fans for help maybe we should pick the team. Could it be any worse??

We need your help Riza can you and your back room staff let the players choose the team , I know walking will affect your fee but just step aside and let the professional players choose the team and tactics . It’s our only hope you need to get out of the way you have no clue how to manage a mc Donald’s franchise let alone a championship team. You can still stand and stare into space in the dugout but just stay out of footballing decisions . A crowd of 100,000 couldn’t cheer the way you set up to a win. You have lost the dressing room.

He had us Saturday until he started changing it around with his usless changes, then to change it again with more changes and then finally more changes because it wasn’t working and by then it was too late, he started losing us with changes and completely lost us when they scored :banghead:

The bloke is deluded and should walk, it’s clear the dozy tit in Malaysia isn’t going to pull the sacking trigger

You could go on a football course or join the labour government there making a shite job of it too ,
you may feel at home
I have been supporting the team all season it's a pity you have' nt done your job,
stuck in the bottom 5 all season, give it a rest. You're not a football manager end of that's the only help you are getting from me. You have my club I have supported for over 30 years on the brink of relegation which is down to you .
In charge since September and you have failed I have been in business 50 years this year and can say I have done it what can you say?.
