Nzoia Sugar head coach Salim Babu maintains that the club has not lost footing in the race to secure the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) title.Nzoia’s chances of being at the joint top with Gor Mahia have been hurt by back to back draws against Posta Rangers and FC Talanta.The Bungoma based club played Rangers to a 1-1 draw a week ago and were frustrated by Talanta to a barren draw on Saturday to drop four points.##NAJAVA_MECA_7049235##The dropped points are the difference between them and Gor who are likely to widen the gap further if they win the game in hand. Further, the team may find itself third on the log if KCB get a win or a draw of any kind when they come up against AFC Leopards on Sunday afternoon.Babu insists that the results garnered in the past two matches will not make their charge to the league title difficult.Gor Mahia’s Tactical Flexibility proves key in crucial victory over Police”The journey is not getting tougher contrary to the perception of fans out there. We had a good plan for the first leg and I am happy we achieved our target. We have a week to plan for the final one and if we manage to realize it, then we will have achieved the objective for the season,” he said.The former Western Stima coach attributed the outcome of the last two games to the fact that Nzoia is the team to beat in the season.He also observed that the goal-shy forward line had also contributed to the recent poor run by wasting clear chances that would have won them maximum points.”Every team wants to get positive results against us. This makes our matches tough. We have also been wasting chances but I believe we will cure this problem before the second leg gets underway,” he said.Ulinzi Stars defender Omar Mbongi departsWith the transfer window set to open this week, Babu said he will only recruit new players to replace those who will have secured greener pastures elsewhere.The trio of Kevin Juma, Joseph Mwangi and Hassan Beja have been linked with a move from the club.
