Shabana coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo says he is not disappointed despite the team’s 1-0 loss against Ulinzi Stars and wants to bolster the team before their next match.
He reiterated that he will save the team from relegation adding that they will take their remaining matches as finals.
“We want to pick maximum points at home in the remaining matches. The worst should be a draw at home. The team doesn't deserve at the bottom of the standings,” said the tactician.
He warned the players to up their game after new signing Lamela Maneno’s early mistake which led to the visitor’s goal.
“Lamela had a bad day. He committed an unnecessary foul and he was not dealing with aerial balls. Going forward, if I feel you are a burden to the team, I will not hesitate to pull you out,” he noted.
Commenting on the game, Omollo said: “It was not a bad game and I must appreciate our players. I picked some positives from the game despite the loss. There were improvements despite conceding an early goal which was due to a mistake from the goalkeeper.”
He added: “We have more than 10 days before our next match against Nairobi City Stars on February 4 and we must work on the mistakes.”
He said they intend to sign two goalkeepers before the end of the transfer window. “Goalkeeping is one area we must strengthen. The goal we conceded was due to a mistake from the keeper and this has been our problem the whole season,” said the coach.
The club has already signed striker Mathew Tegisi from the National Super League side, Gusii FC and midfielder Japheth Lihanda from Rainbow.
