Riza expects to lead Cardiff against Millwall

Cardiff City interim boss Omer Riza says he expects to lead the Bluebirds for Tuesday’s Championship game against Millwall.

Cardiff are bottom of the division with a single point and were beaten 4-1 by Hull in Riza’s first game in interim charge after the sacking of Erol Bulut.

Riza says he will prepare for the game as if he is taking charge.

“We have to look forward now to Millwall on Tuesday, a really tough game.

“We have to kick on and improve. We’ve got to stop letting in goals and we’ve got to score more.

“I am taking it game by game. I would like to think I’m taking the game on Tuesday, but things can change quickly.”

Riza admits Cardiff’s form is a cause for concern.

“We need to start picking up results, we need to pick up points,” he added.

“The longer it goes on, the harder it becomes. We have to clean up the mistakes we are making.”
