Cardiff City need to make a decision on whether to stick with interim manager Omer Riza or head in a different direction, according to two BBC Sport pundits.

Former Bluebirds striker Nathan Blake told BBC Radio Wales Sport that he feels Cardiff should use the upcoming international break to make a decisive decision on Riza’s future.

Cardiff lost 3-1 at home to Blackburn on Saturday as Riza’s excellent start as interim boss suffered a blow.

"It feels like time to make a decision," Blake said on BBC Radio Wales.

Riza has admitted he "doesn't know" what his future holds, but Radio 5Live pundit Chris Sutton feels the Cardiff board have now reached the point where they need to make a decision imminently having sacked previous boss Erol Bulut in September.

"Cardiff are really interesting. Omer Riza the interim manager, when are the hierarchy going to make a decision on when he gets the job or not," Sutton said on Radio 5Live.

"He’s done a brilliant job. Surely they have to make a decision? Give him the job or move on.

"What is the plan at Cardiff City?"
