It was an end-to-end attack and we missed clear chances to kill the game. I think we could have carried the day but our opponents too played well,” offered Ogai.The tactician hinted at a busy transfer window at the club necessitated by the outgoing of key players including Brian Odhiambo to the Football Kenya Federation Premier League and the imminent departure of attacker Joseph Amunike to FC Talanta.The Kibra-based club, who are in their second season in the NSL have let go of up to eight players with Ogai looking to create a competitive team for the remainder of the season and have a sustainable squad.Talking points from National Super League Round FifteenRamadhan Nassar, former Gusii FC player Bruce Achesa, Christopher Okach, and Edward Mungai are some of the arsenals to have severed ties with Gogo.“The transfer window is going to be more explosive because people are getting back to the market and we need to check on the players that are leaving us and those that we need to replace with,” he added.The former Kisumu All-Stars gaffer however noted that the club will be keen during the registration window and only players that can improve the team instantly will be considered, hinting at a major overhaul in the midfield and the forward line.“We need to be keen with players coming in. I think we need good midfielders and attackers without them you cannot contest in the league, therefore it is an area we need to watch out and in the second leg we are going to pull surprises,” he concluded.Stars Abroad: Omurwa features in Estrela da Amadora draw against Gil VincenteOn the other hand, Kibera Black Stars head coach Moses Onyango blamed the draw on the recent massive movement of players noting that he lacked his key arsenals for the game.“We missed a lot of chances but we are fighting back.
