KCB FC head Coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno believes that his team’s struggles are largely due to mentality struggles and it is an area that he is planning to work on ahead of their next league assignments.The Bankers suffered back-to-back defeats after they were condemned to a 1-0 defeat by Gor Mahia on Saturday at the Thika Sub-County Stadium. This followed last weekend’s 2-0 defeat and a season that most predicted would be theirs to compete for the title is slowly becoming a nightmare with consistency their major undoing. KCB refuse to throw in the towel on title raceOtieno’s side has picked just two wins in their last 15 games with draws slowly becoming their default result. Scoring is also becoming an issue as in the 15 games, they managed to score more than one goal just on two occasions. Derrick Otanga on 11 goals is the club’s top scorer and the team appears to struggle when he is misfiring or not on the pitch.🚨RESULTS🚨Saturday #FKFPL results. @FC_Sofapaka and @k_sharksfc do a league double on their respective opponents.
