Bidco United head coach Anthony Akhulia has warned his players that they are playing for their futures and urged them to step up and turn the team’s fortunes around.Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Bandari at the Kasarani Annex extended United’s winless run in the FKF Premier League to nine games, and the team is just two points above the playoff spot. The alarm bells have been rung, and they have to improve lest they find themselves fighting the drop in the closing stages of the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_7180192##The Thika-based side can be said to have been unlucky in some games, like the match against the Kariobangi Sharks, where they looked destined to pick up a point before conceding late. It was again the case against Bandari, where, as they were on the rise, they shipped in a late winner through a set piece.Akhulia, visibly upset by the poor run, wants the team to turn its fortunes around and has warned the players that they are now fighting to keep their jobs.”Players have to motivate themselves, and they should know that this is their job, and they should work hard and keep it,” he said in his post-match interview.There’ll be light at the end of the tunnel. #gobidco pic.twitter.com/L5HgTxb73K— Bidco United F.C (@fCBidco) April 18, 2023 Reviewing the defeat to the Dockers, the youthful tactician said that his team was unlucky to fall to the Anthony Kimani-led team.”The team played well, but again an individual mistake cost us.
