Bidco United might be suffering the proverbial second season syndrome after a spectacular maiden campaign last season with head coach Anthony Akhulia concerned by the slow start this term.The Thika-based club are yet to get off the mark after four games, suffering two defeats and a draw which has left them hovering perilously close to the drop zone.Speaking after the defeat over City Stars, Akhulia admitted that the alarm bells are sounding for Bidco and was less impressed by the second half after dominating in the opening period.🌕| Full TimeTwo goals, three points and @NrbCityStars momentarily go top of the log table.Will they maintain it by the end of the day?🤔#CityStarsVsBidco#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/hSZoUgw27B— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 24, 2021 “It is a concern because you cannot continue playing like that and the way we are conceding it is really wanting. We conceded through a set piece and again in the run of play, we really need to work on our defending. In this league if you continue lagging behind, you will be relegated,”“We relaxed in the second half, they noticed our weaknesses in the first half and they capitalized on them, they came out strangers and they punished us with two quick goals and sat back to defend,” said Akhulia.##NAJAVA_MECA_5920493##Bidco finished the 2020-2021 season a respectable 11th with only four points separating them from a top-four finish that was occupied by AFC Leopards.In their maiden season in the top flight, Bidco won all their games against City Stars including in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Cup where they finished as the second runners up.📸| Celebrations#CityStarsVsBidco#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/3pJG4rNk1E— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) October 24, 2021 “We lost, this is our second defeat in four matches and we have drawn two, that is not a good performance having that we were playing at home but still at home, it’s painful like that,””Last season we beat them thrice and this season they are a better team with more quality, I congratulate them for the win they played well,” added Akhulia.
