The last two performances

Ramsey was made interim manager a week ago.

He's had limited time to work with the players since then because we've had two matches.

But the performance level in both of those games has been some of our best season, certainly this side of Christmas.

Makes you wonder what he could have done if he'd been given the chance earlier.

It's a shame he doesn't want the job, because we have looked like a much better team in these last two.

But it was too late unfortunately.

100% agree, if riza went during the International break we would have survived, in just one week Ramsey and his team have made the side look a lot more solid and we actually look like a team who know what there jobs are now

Agree we would have got smashed if Riza was still here just a shame they waited till the last 3 games . Almost like they wanted to go down I just can’t get my head around it .

I’ll have to respectfully disagree. We still drew both games and only scored one goal. The same problems that led to our relegation.

This isn’t Rambos fault by the way but the players should be ashamed at their lack of basic footballing skills and quality.

2 home points from 6 is par for the course.

Still playing 4231 with Willock and Davies as the wide players even though they are not great out there. O'Dowda as full back when he is not. Robertson at 10 when he is a bog standard CM.....

Turnbull looked excellent, put legs around him, proper wide options and a big ugly centre half and we'll bounce back.

I doubt this is how he'd want to set up with a preseason.

If it is Rambo next season, he'll need a DoF. According to the other board, McPhail was there yesterday (2+2= whatever you want?).

I totally agree and if you get the chance watch Ramsey press conference yesterday.

Without him saying the words directly, it's obvious he feels the players weren't prepared properly under Riza and there was a lot of confusion.

Not a suprise with his constant tinkering and changing the team.

Under Ramsey we've looked a lot more solid, totally dominated Oxford and matched up with a Top 6 side yesterday.

No doubt in my mind that Tan had more control and influence over the puppet Riza and his team selection, which is why Riza stayed so long when he was clearly not up to the job.

The last performances showed how utterly useless Riza was. Worst City manager of all time is a possible accolade. We've been very unfortunate not to have won at least one of the last two games. But we are still a poor and disjointed playing squad though. No cover in the full back area and little pace through the team. Far too many youngsters are over-hyped. I'll be pleased if we sell Colwill this summer. He's never going to make it. Daland, El Ghazi, Kanga, Willock have been absolutely dreadful signings. Our key leaders were injured all the time Ralls, Ramsey and Robinson. A huge clear out is needed. If we keep Fish, Robertson, Salech then you have the beginnings of a decent spine to a league one team. We need to sign experienced, FIT leaders to join them. Look what Marlon Pack did for Portsmouth last year. This is the sort of player we need next year.

They were far superior performances where we were unlucked boy the goal of the season and a once in a life time performance by a goalkeeper.

I would not mind Ramsey back for next season and dare I say ot most of those players to prove us wrong.

If he was manager next season which I don’t think will happen just imagine what it would be like when he loses a few.
There would be the outcry of ‘we need an experienced manager’ all over again.

A perfect example of turning a legend into a villain.

He’d be a mug to take the job imo.

Totally agree rambo made a slight difference we looked more compact defensively rambo made one change after Oxford riza was changing 4/5 changes every game no settled side I really wish riza wasn't offered the job after I watched the Luton away game before tan gave it to him was a massive mistake

Didn't win either,no improvement in my opinion, the players are NOT good enough.

I’ll have to respectfully disagree. We still drew both games and only scored one goal. The same problems that led to our relegation.

This isn’t Rambos fault by the way but the players should be ashamed at their lack of basic footballing skills and quality.

Think point is given more games the performances would have resulted in more points than did under riza? Yes drew both games but yesterday was like chalk and cheese to riza games...far more intent when did you see a riza game with the attacking pressure when we hit post couple times goalie frantic saves defenders blocking shots only pure luck we didn't score as for the 1st half header that was amazingly kept out under riza we would have lost like stoke and other games 24 points dropped from winning positions says it all...under rambo we didn't capitulate but kept going with a plan something riza didn't have in any games...
It takes more than couple training sessions to change mindset of players use to losing and with no leadership

Totally agree, Ned

Riza was going after the Luton game but Tan changed his mind and it came back to haunt him. The only difference was that Warnock was the man inline to replace him

Personally, I like what I’ve seen from this ‘fresh’ management team and (as I’ve said elsewhere) I can see ‘value’ in their continuing the new project

This is not about Ramsey's managerial or coaching skills. He didn't get enough time and, even if he had, the squad we have right now is among the poorest I can remember in 50 years of watching Cardiff. The players look slow, unfit, lacking in pace and basic skills.

I was at the game yesterday and the number of players falling over their own feet, or not being able to deliver a cross was terrifying to watch.

I can't fault the effort of most of the players but, I'm pretty sure, if I chose eleven supporters from the stands they would also offer at least that much. As a club we need much more than that and we deserve much more than what we have.

I didn’t go yesterday due to work. But I was there last week and with all due respect, there wasn’t much of a change to the quality of the overall team. Rino and Mansverrk were looking to get the ball forward more. But that was about it as I saw it.

Unfortunately cannot compare 2 performances against 30+ and give a fair accurate account but yesterday's performance was of an energy haven't seen that often thos season if nothing else was going in right direction? For first time actually all season didn’t feel like walking out during game ...that says a lot about way we were playing.

There was much higher energy, we were moving the ball forward quicker and actually putting the ball in the opponents' box - so I respectfully disagree.

And that was after one training session which is sort of my point.

More improvement yesterday despite not getting the goal, again only one week on from Ramsey taking over.

Ned gthats point I just made I actually didn't feel like walking out for 1st time this season simply because energy levels were far in access than under riza... and we looked like scoring fact we didn't was down to amazing clearance 1st half and luck when hit posts goalie and defenders ... more action in one game than seen all season says a lot.

Very little improvement still far from good enough

Appreciate everyone’s point of view Worcester. But overall last week, for me, there wasn’t a great deal of difference. Yes we wanted to move the ball a bit quicker but I only saw that from rino and Mannsverk. Fully appreciate Rambo had a day or so to try and inject a bit of life into the team. Now that we’re league 1 I wouldn’t be against Rambo Gunter and Ralls giving it a go. Three passionate, experienced and I’d say knowledgeable footballers.
We are where we are and we go from here is always my philosophy. Gutted to be in the third tier, but we are.
So pleased t9 see Rino getting the players player award. He thoroughly deserved that.

Still nowhere near good enough sorry. Not Ramsey's fault. Giving him the managers job next season and get most of this squad gone hopefully, is not a bad shout though

Respect your opinion but we'll have to agree to disagree.

Not saying we suddenly looked like a top six team but like I said, there was definite improvement in my view.

Rinomhota totally deserves that, one of the few that's always gave everything.

If klopp was our manager we would struggle to score
Even when they control a game they don't work the keeper through wrong decision and poor final ball
We relied on defenders to get there fair share of goals but they dried up too
Amazed when we battered plymouth and portsmouth home what went wrong

Rambo could only pick who he could pick. However I’ve felt all season that personnel wasn’t the main issue. It was how they were set up. It was how they were instructed to play. It was how they weren’t given full team defensive patterns. It was how they clearly did zero training on set pieces. It was on how riza changed formation when we were comfortable and cruising. It was how riza failed to spot effective opposition changes and adapt to them. It was on how he repeatedly selected the wrong line up for a game so had to make multiple half time changes. It was how we played with 2 wide men all season with either robbo or Salech up top. But when we absolutely had to positively win against Luton he changed to 1 wide man who was the physically weakest we have to supply crosses to the guy that thrived on balls in to the box. It was how robbo, the top scorer, was moved to an attacking midfielder rather than work on patterns to help him link with Salech.

It was all of those rhings and more.

I’m as peeved at tan as the rest of you. And tan is completely guilty of leaving riza in post to destroy our championship status.

But riza is apparently a football coach that’s been exposed to top clubs and international set ups. He wanted the job. He pitched for the job. He was clueless and showed zero insight. Indeed he stayed in the post deludedly thinking he could turn it around when he clearly had no idea.


Rambo made us more competitive in a week than riza did all season. Yes we drew. But we looked far more organised with the same players than riza had us.

A good manager can obercome a poor owner and work to improve the sum of all parts.
