Phenom. Sublime. Showstopper! All these high-quality words perfectly fit the kind of season Sofapaka’s new signing, Lawrence Juma, has had so far in 2020/2021 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL). Exactly the kind of impact you would want one of your record-breaking signing to make at his new club. To step up.“The squad we have managed to assemble is a quality one which will challenge for top honours in the 2020/21 Kenyan Premier League campaign. This is a team that has a high chance of winning the league title and get a chance to play in the continental competitions. We have the resources we need to be successful and I am confident we will,” Sofapaka president Elly Kalekwa remarked back then upon the signing of the would-be hit.????| BREAKING!????| OFFICIAL!????| Ladies and Gents Lawrence Juma SIGNS!????️| Harambee Stars midfielder joins us from Gor Mahia FC. ???? | Details >>> https://t.co/mR1vj0z4qp???? | Newest member of the family perfectly in????| Welcome to BatotoBaMungu Juma@betikaKe pic.twitter.com/nOejafg223— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) October 16, 2020 But as Sofapaka have cruelly come to find out, one man cannot win you games week in week out. Not in football. Probably tennis.For all of Juma’s instinctive, elegant, influential and exemplary form this season for Sofapaka, the club still find itself in 12th position, closer to the relegation drop zone than to the top places when it comes to the league standings.But without the former Gor Mahia man, the situation could have even been worse. This series of The Breakdown tries to hypothetically look at where the club, whose owner demands a lot, would have been had it not been for Juma’s heroics on the pitch.ImpactSince Juma signed for Batoto ba Mungu back in October last year before the start of the ongoing campaign, the midfielder has found the back of the net eleven times for his club – half of the total team goals. On top of that, Juma has provided a further four assists.Juma has found the back of the net 11 times – half of all Sofapaka goals so far this seasonThe eleven goals that Juma has scored have been in seven games, Sofapaka ending up with all three points on four occasions while, despite his best efforts, the remaining two games ending in two draws and a defeat.Important to note is that Sofapaka have only won twice all so far when Juma has failed to find the back of the net, in a 3-1 first win of the season against Western Stima and in 1-0 win over Nairobi City Stars that he missed due to a red card suspension.BreakdownSofapaka 4-2 Mathare United (W)He opened his account at Batoto ba Mungu in some style against Mathare United, grabbing a hat trick in their sixth game of the season for what was only their second win of the campaign at the time.What a season Lawrence Juma is having! 11 goals in 19 matches for midfielder is more than good enough. Despite his team’s struggles he continues to deliver.Not forgetting Sofapaka got him for FREE#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/3DfmEtKd0h— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) June 16, 2021 Nzoia Sugar 2-1 Sofapaka (L)He pulled one goal back when Sofapaka were trailing two-nil but his effort was not enough to salvage anything in the match.Sofapaka 2-2 KCB (D)Twice gave Sofapaka the lead in this encounter but his two goals were still not enough as the Bankers clawed their way back into the match.Posta Rangers 1-2 Sofapaka (W)Scored the second and winning goal of the match.????????| Your Matchday 19 Team of the week.#BKPL pic.twitter.com/ToVTzr9X1K— Betking Kenya Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) June 2, 2021 Sofapaka 2-0 Wazito (W)Scored the second goal that kept the three points safe.KCB 0-1 Sofapaka (W)Scored a stunning winner in the reverse fixture to give his side much needed three points.9th of the season all by His Grace Video @Officialfkfpl #LJ24 pic.twitter.com/ct3LCRBrRg— Lawrence Juma (@LawrenceJuma24) May 30, 2021 Sofapaka 2-2 Leopards (D)His two early goals gave Sofapaka the cushion in the match but they were just worthy of one point as Leopards staged a comeback to salvage a 2-2 draw.EffectIn total, without counting the assists because it is not clear in which games he provided them, Juma has directly contributed to 14 points for the Ken Odhiambo coached side.Currently, Sofapaka sits in 12th position with 23 points. If you take away fourteen, you remain with 9 points.Nine points in the current season guarantees you 16th position, just one ahead of bottom-placed Mathare United. Juma was the club’s eighth signing after Michael Kibwage, Isaac Mitima, Michael Karamor, Michael Bodo, Kevin Omondi, Roy Okal, and Paul Kiongera were signed before him.
