Modo banking on senior Bandari players to instill composure

Bandari FC tactician Anthony ‘Modo’ Kimani has called upon his players to be composed in future matches as one of the interventions to put an end to a four-match winless streak the side is in.The Dockers kicked off their campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Sofapaka FC at home but have since recorded stuttering results, drawing to Nzoia Sugar then losing to KCB, drawing again with Kenya Police, then losing recently to Gor Mahia.Kimani: Not yet time for panic buttonWith just one win from five matches, the Mombasa-based side has fallen down the pecking order from third on the log after the first round of matches to tenth after the sixth round.Despite the recent results, coach Kimani has acknowledged that there is no pressure whatsoever, calling upon his charges to avoid being nervous while on the pitch.”There is no pressure at all and I try as much as possible to tell my players to be composed while on the field. Every time when a team does not perform it is the coach who is sacked first. So they should not be nervous and instead should play the game we know they can play,” he said.##NAJAVA_MECA_6905701##Ahead of their next match where they take on Posta Rangers at home, the former AFC Leopards assistant coach has implored the whole team to pull up their socks and work to better the team’s performance as a whole.He opines that every department has something to work on before they face the Mailmen at Mbaraki Grounds on January 4, 2023.”The whole team needs to do better. The defenders have been making so many mistakes, the midfielders are nervous and have not been making those incisive passes, and the attackers are not using the few chances they get from midfielders effectively. So I think the whole squad needs to be looked at before our next match against Posta Rangers,” he added.Modo admits to poor performances in opening five matches
