Nothing is lost. We have come from a win and a draw then the break which I believe is enough time for the team to prepare well. We have to be together as a team and focus a lot on getting good results,” he told the club website.The 2017 CECAFA Senior Challenge winning goalkeeper with Harambee Stars however took issue with the manner in which the league fixtures are being planned where teams are forced to play the tournament format.The match is charged at a flat rate of Sh100 https://t.co/FHrIz0FbwM— 🏆Tusker FC (@tusker_fc) February 1, 2022 “The proximity of the two matches back to back is very dangerous in terms of preparations. We saw how hard it was facing Vihiga again after just three days. In my opinion we could have spaced out the games in between others but we can’t complain much because it is the situation all of us are in. We have had enough time to prepare well and we are starting at home. We hope for good results.” noted the former Posta Rangers man.📊 | TAKWIMU MUHIMUMsimu uliopita, tulitoka sare ya bila kufungana uwanjani Ruaraka.

The former Leopards custodian noted that they raided the Bullets area at will but did not have the luck to force the ball past the line.“I think we deserved the three points especially looking at how many times we were in the opponent’s box. It was hard luck but all is not lost. We have so many matches ahead and we just need to remain cool and focused, and take a match at a time,” he added.
