At some point, we had to do without two of our best scorers who were injured. This season, we will not produce the top scorer as the main guy missed close to ten matches. Kapaito and Masud managed to conquer the league as they were strong and I challenge my current forwards to shed more sweat in the gym so as to be physically strong,” he said.Maverick Talanta winger Oporia praying first team duties in final game of the seasonPressed for answers regarding the team’s poor performance in the final stages of the season, Muluya was quick to note that lack of experience had contributed to the lack of punch. He also rued the missed scoring chances for the unwanted results.“Injuries have been forcing me to play young players who are probably in the first season in the league. It is good for their exposure and hopefully, if they can stay around for a season, they will have the mettle to fight up to the final round,” he added.
