Cardiff City manager Omer Riza plans to appeal the red card handed out to Callum Robinson by replacement referee James Durkin in his side’s 1-1 home draw with Coventry City. The Bluebirds dominated the first half and opened the scoring within six minutes with a goal from Alex Robertson.

Callum Robinson was hailed as Cardiff City’s “best finisher at the club” by manager Omer Riza after the striker helped deliver a priceless Championship victory at Watford. Robinson – who was oddly left out of the starting line-up by Riza for the two previous matches – scored twice as Cardiff won 2-1 to earn their first away win of the season.

Cardiff City have not managed to win away from home since April, but there could be no more vital time to end that sequence than on Boxing Day. The Bluebirds will be at Oxford United, the club they are now locked together with on 18 points, separated by a difference of just one goal, in Cardiff’s favour, both in the relegation zone.

Cardiff City manager Omer Riza admits there’s nothing to be done about their position in the table – other than to start winning. The Bluebirds’ 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield United makes it no wins in their last eight matches under Riza. The Londoner, who was given the permanent manager’s job until the end of the season at the start of the month, knows his side are in a precarious position ahead of a crunch clash with fellow strugglers Oxford United on Boxing Day.

Cardiff City host Sheffield United on Saturday against a familiar backdrop of uncertainty around manager and club owner. Except this time, we are talking about the visitors, not the Bluebirds.

Omer Riza believes Cardiff City are bouncing upwards again after guiding them out of the Championship relegation zone for the second time. The Bluebirds manager was frustrated his team could not hold on for their first away win of the season at Stoke City at the weekend.

Cardiff City manager Omer Riza branded his players’ efforts as “terrible” as his first match in permanent charge ended with a demoralising 2-0 home defeat to Preston North End. Having been confirmed as the man to guide the club at least until the end of the season, Riza was looking for a statement from his side that they could move on from recent uncertainty.

Cardiff’s Sky Bet Championship fixture against Watford has been called off amid severe weather warnings linked to Storm Darragh. The Football Association of Wales issued a statement on Friday afternoon saying all football matches in the country were being postponed on Saturday, following Met Office advice.

The Omer Riza Era Part Two should have begun on Saturday when Cardiff City were due to host Watford before the weather intervened. It would have been Riza’s first match since he was confirmed as the club’s new permanent manager.

Cardiff City boss Omer Riza insists he will have money to spend in order to bolster his squad during the January transfer window. Riza, who had been serving as the Bluebirds’ interim manager, was officially appointed on a contract running until the end of the season on Thursday.

Cardiff City have appointed interim manager Omer Riza as boss on a contract until the end of the season. The Bluebirds announced the move on Thursday prior to Riza’s 13th match in charge at home to Watford on Saturday. Riza took over in September following the dismissal of former manager Erol Bulut, when the club were bottom of the Championship with just one point from their opening six matches.

Cardiff City fans have voiced their fury over the lack of urgency in appointing a new manager. Bluebirds fans groups have come together to write an open letter to the club’s officials, demanding action and warned a “toxic” feeling towards the club poses huge dangers.
