Tusker FC defender Christopher Oruchum has issued a rallying call to his teammates to work together and salvage their season that has started on the wrong footing, finding themselves in not-so-good positions albeit having played fewer matches.The Brewers recently lost 1-0 away to league leaders Kakamega Homeboyz and will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they come up against struggling Mathare United on Thursday.📽️| Inside team training ahead of Mathare United match https://t.co/axtjIMtSTY— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) December 29, 2021 The lanky defender further acknowledged that they need to win their games at hand so that they may count when they need them most, otherwise the games will be of no use to the team.“I think it is time for us players and the defending champions to come back together, recollect ourselves and think of a good way to pull ourselves back on top. We need to be on the proactive side now because where the team is, demands us to work harder to pull up. In as much as we have some games in hand, we have to ensure we bag the points. As we play matches, the games in hand are reducing,” Oruchum told the club’s portal.⌛️| Plotting for Mathare. pic.twitter.com/bszYLJhmXI— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) December 29, 2021 While reflecting on the recent loss, the former AFC Leopards defender termed it a bitter pill considering the boost that a win would have given Robert Matano’s charges.“It is really a bitter pill to swallow because we were buoyed for that match and we knew a win would have given us momentum. We didn’t handle the match well especially the first quarter. We had agreed to be really concentrated and focused in the first 15 minutes because of the fatigue coming off travels and all, but we failed to do so. As much as it is a bitter pill to swallow we need to bounce back as a team,” he added.Tusker have had a torrid season, winning only two of the seven games that they have played and losing four of those seven, collecting only seven points in the process which leaves them rooted 15th on the log with three games at hand.
