Bidco United captain Michael Bodo remains optimistic that the team’s experience will be key to securing their FKF Premier League survival despite a tough season.Since earning promotion four years ago, the Oilers’ 2024/25 campaign has been their most challenging, with the Thika-based side firmly stuck in the relegation zone.After 23 matches, Bidco has managed just four wins and nine draws, collecting 22 points—level with bottom-placed City Stars and FC Talanta.##NAJAVA_MECA_8773598##Their struggles extend beyond poor results, as they also have the league’s worst win rate, tied with the Kariobangi Sharks at just four victories.Additionally, their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 41 goals—the highest in the division—compared to the Posta Rangers (34) and City Stars (30).With only 11 matches left, Bidco sits second from the bottom, but Bodo believes their experienced squad members can turn things around.”It’s not been the best of seasons since we were promoted, but we have to accept the consequences of a poor start. However, I am confident we will avoid relegation because of the experience within our squad,” Bodo told Mozzart Sport. Why Gor Mahia and Tusker players snubbed McCarthy’s first Harambee Stars training sessionThe former Sofapaka and Kariobangi Sharks defender pointed to key veterans, including Thomas Wainaina, Peter Nzuki, Joseph Onyango, David Kalama, Evans Maliachi, Henry Onyango, and the returning David Orem, as players capable of leading the team to safety.Bodo also emphasized the need for a strong finish, setting a target of winning three-quarters of their remaining matches to secure their top-flight status.”We have a monumental task ahead of us, and we need to step up by winning our games. If we win at least three-quarters of our remaining matches, we will be in a much better position in this relegation battle,” he added.McCarthy impressed with quality as he takes charge of first Harambee Stars training sessionBidco’s remaining fixtures include matches against 12- and 13-time league champions AFC Leopards and Tusker FC, former title winners Mathare United and Sofapaka, as well as Murang’a Seal, Bandari, Posta Rangers, KCB, Shabana, and Mara Sugar.Coach Anthony Akhulia’s side will be looking for back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they travel to Awendo to face Mara Sugar on Sunday, March 16.
