It is something we have been working on and I think we just need to build on the way we played. We know that we only need to score more goals as a team because winning games is all about scoring and that is what we need to do to overcome the situation. I know as a team we can do it,” the player told Mozzart Sport.Zico and Akwana call on caretaker committee to check on dwindling officiating standardsOver the weekend, the slum boys will face another daunting task in their next outing as they welcome a Gor Mahia side who will be equally desperate to amass points following their recent struggles in form.
