We are going to bring in some players in the January transfer window, work off our shortcomings in the opening matches, and fight again.”Nyaberi outlines secret behind MCF’s incredible formOn his side, Nairobi’s assistant coach Edwin Mwaura expressed satisfaction with the win and a clean sheet though termed it a labored victory.“It was not easy coming from a loss and getting a win is not easy but at least the boys stood up to the occasion and gave us three points and a clean sheet.
