Frustrated Wazito coach, Charles Odera hopeful of survival despite stretching winless run to 18 matches

Charles Odera was a frustrated man after watching his Wazito FC side capitulate to Nzoia Sugar FC in a midweek Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) fixture staged at Muhoroni Stadium.”It’s frustrating after all the effort we put in training,” the former APS Bomet FC coach, who is yet to win a game since taking over the reins at Wazito FC in February, lamented.It was light work for Nzoia Sugar on the road as they thumped the former moneybags 3-0 to keep the chase in the title race.”We work very hard in training, but that does not reflect in game situations, it’s a bit frustrating for me as a coach,” the former Chemelil Sugar FC player said.##NAJAVA_MECA_7171743##Odera has been in charge for nine matches, losing six and drawing three. Deeply rooted in the relegation zone, Wazito are just a place above bottom-placed Vihiga Bullets FC with 13 points and 13 losses.Wazito has gone a whopping 18 games without a win, matching Bullets’ record that was broken over the weekend. Their last victory was on Valentine’s Day when they edged out visiting AFC Leopards 2-1.The team was hoping for an improved second leg after changing coaches and signing ten players, and after drawing against Kariobangi Sharks and Police in high profile games, it all looked up, but a 2-0 loss to Talanta FC on Sunday seems to have deflated them.”There’s a need to rebuild confidence. Bring out the fighting spirit in the squad,” Odera offered.Tactical analysis of how Gor Mahia outwitted Bandari”We have 11 games left to see if we can survive, but before anything, we have to fix our defense, we need to start picking those one points,” he stressed.Yet, Wazito’s woes are not only on-field. Since changing ownership last year, the club has endured lean financial times which has adversely affected their operations. Against Talanta, the players arrived on match day after after a long bus ride. Odera blamed fatigue on the loss.Wazito’s next league outing will be against the title-chasing Tusker.
