Ochieng optimistic about KCB’s title chances

Despite failing to collect maximum points in their last three league outings, Kenya Commercial Bank football club captain Brian Ochieng is hopeful of the club’s title chances.The bankers have gone winless in the past three matches following their 1-0 and 5-0 losses to Nzoia Sugar and Tusker FC, respectively, while settling for a point during their goalless draw against Ulinzi Stars last weekend.##NAJAVA_MECA_7805396##Sunday’s barren draw extended the Bankers goal drought to three matches without finding the back of the net.The results equally meant the team, under the tutelage of Bendard Mwalala, dropped further in the standings and is currently placed seventh on the log with 28 points.With Gor Mahia on a winning spree in their last four matches, KCB find themselves twelve points adrift of the defending champions, who sit pretty on top with 40 points.Nairobi City Stars hotshot Mohamed Bajaber reveals inspiration behind impressive formHowever, the seasoned midfielder believes the dice is not yet cast, saying the race is still wide open and they will fight to the final day.”We have had a bad run in our recent matches, a fate that has seen the club’s performance deteriorate and created the 12-point gap with Gor Mahia. Despite the rough patch, I believe we still stand a chance because it is not yet a done affair, but we will have to fight to the final day,”stated Ochieng.The ex-FC Talanta defensive midfielder expressed confidence in turning around the team’s fortunes when they host Muhoroni youth on Saturday.”We had a horrible setback during the Tusker match, but I am glad we registered a point against an equally tough opponent. I am optimistic we will get back to winning ways on Saturday when we play Muhoroni. It won’t be an easy task either, but I am confident that Saturday will be the start of registering positive results,” he added.The hard-tackling midfielder further reflected on the club’s latest transfer business, applauding the club hierarchy for doing decent recruitment.”I am pleased with the new additions to the team. The most important thing is that they have quickly settled and are well aware of the task that lies ahead. I am hopeful they will propel the club towards achieving our targets when the season culminates,” he concluded.FKFPL: We are firmly in the title race, Matano roars
