With a win on Saturday against Altach, SV Guntamatic Ried could have increased his lead over the bottom of the table to eight points. It turned out quite different. Defender Markus Lackner had to leave the field in the eleventh minute after two completely unnecessary yellow cards with yellow-red. The 29-year-old was doing his team a disservice. Although Ried was able to make up for the 0: 1 deficit shortly before the break with a remarkable goal from Ante Bajic, in the final quarter of an hour of the game the Vorarlbergers used their superior numbers for a clear 4: 1 victory. “I think the referee he could have shown a little more sensitivity with the yellow-red card, “Ried’s coach Gerald Baumgartner said after the game. Once again, the 56-year-old stood in front of his players after a losing game. Otherwise, his team did the job well over long distances with one less man. There is no great reason for criticism, Baumgartner said in an interview with Sky Austria.
Strong criticism from the fans
However, there is criticism from fans. The discontent of many SV Ried fans for Baumgartner’s promotion coach is growing. On social media and football forums, a change in the supervisors’ bench is sometimes vehemently demanded.
The fact that Baumgartner was absent from what was by far the best performance of the season, the 4-3 home win over Rapid, due to illness and was represented by assistant coach Gerhard Schweitzer, also plays in the critics’ letters. This is not the first time that Baumgartner has been speculated to be replaced soon. According to board member Maximilian Schmidt, a board meeting will take place on Monday. Schmidt declined to elaborate on what specifically is being discussed.
The truth is that the members of the council will carefully analyze the sporting situation and the previous matches. It’s no big secret that there are critics of Baumgartner on the board.
In the final game of 2020, SV Ried will face Wattens on Sunday. After yesterday’s sensational 3-0 away win against Rapid, the Tyrolese can enter the game with a big chest. At SV Ried, on the other hand, it could be a somewhat restless week again. More to be known after today’s board meeting.
