Kids can’t win you anything: Mafuta turns to seasoned faces after Posta hammering

Vihiga Bullets head coach Evans Mafuta is set to rope in a few more experienced players before the window closes following Friday’s 4-0 thumping from Posta Rangers.The newbies got a rude top-flight awakening when a well-oiled Posta side gave them a thorough beating in Thika, the class and quality difference between the two sides was evident in the match as Posta barely broke a sweat in the emphatic win.After getting a draw against Bidco on matchday one, Mafuta had intimated that he had full confidence in his squad and only wanted to bring on board a few new faces but he has now changed tune and wants to add experience to the team.FT Posta Rangers 4 Vihiga Bullets 0The league newcomers have a lot to do if they are to keep their top flight status— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) October 15, 2021 The former Silibwet coach now says he needs an experienced goalkeeper to strengthen that department, he also wants a seasoned central defender and an established striker as well.”We gave a good team but the FKF Premier League is a whole new level and as such we will have to add a few experienced players. I need a keeper, a central defender, and a striker, all experienced. We are creating chances and it’s all about getting a forward who will convert them. At the back, we need a keeper and defender who will bring in quality, league experience, and leadership, I think once we get these players we will be good to go, “he told Mozzart Sport.Reflecting on the game against Stanley Okumbi’s side, Mafuta was of the opinion that his team got nervous and that it played a role in the thumping that they got in Thika.Vihiga Bullets are yet to register a shot on target against Posta Rangers here at Thika Stadium 32 minutes after kick off. They are trailing 2-0 and are likely to concede more#OkumbiBall is back😀— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) October 15, 2021 “We gave Posta too much respect and my players appeared timid in the better part of the game and we just could not contain Posta who are more experienced than us and looked hungrier than us,” he added.The tactician is however not too worried, he believes that the team will come good once they rectify the mistakes that they made against the Mail-men.”We cannot press the alarm button right now. We have played just two games, we have time to correct the mistakes that we made and get results in the coming assignments,” he added.Next for Bullets is a home match against Kariobangi Sharks.🗞️| Our next assignment will be an away fixture against Vihiga Bullets FC on 20th October.#WeAreSharks #BetwaySharks pic.twitter.com/73bPY3Vfzx— Kariobangi Sharks FC (@k_sharksfc) October 12, 2021
