Bandari head coach Ken Odhiambo attributed their 3-0 defeat to Kenya Police FC in Machakos in the FKF Premier League to player fatigue, citing the team’s hectic travel schedule as a major factor.Odhiambo explained that the long-distance trips, combined with the tight match schedule, left his squad with little time to recover. Bandari played Tusker in Machakos on January 15, hosted Shabana four days later in Mombasa, and then returned to Machakos three days after that for the clash against Kenya Police on Wednesday, January 22. He feels these travels have taken a toll on his charges.##NAJAVA_MECA_8650032##”We’ve been playing week in and week out, with most games involving long travels between the coast and Nairobi. We performed well, but fatigue caught up with us, and that’s why we lost to Kenya Police,” Odhiambo remarked.He further emphasized that the constant travel has taken a toll on the team, contributing to their winless streak in the past seven matches. Bandari’s poor form has seen them slide to ninth place on the league table, ten points behind leaders Kenya Police FC.”Our back-to-back journeys have limited our time for recovery and proper preparation, and I believe this has affected our recent performances in the league,” added the former Harambee Stars assistant coach.Salim Babu reveals immediate target after taking over Nairobi City StarsOdhiambo also hinted at making changes to the team’s attacking options during the mid-season transfer window. He acknowledged that Bandari’s attack has been underwhelming, with only 13 goals scored so far, making them one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league.”We’ve struggled in front of goal, and we need to address that. We must bring in a striker who can consistently score for us,” said Odhiambo, who previously managed Sofapaka.Bandari will be aiming to break their winless streak when they host Nairobi City Stars at Mbaraki Stadium on Sunday.All set for FKF Youth League finals this weekend
