Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti believes that lack of confidence and wastefulness is to blame for his team’s horrendous run in the FKF Premier League this campaign.Seven matches into the new season, Simba wa Nairobi have suffered five defeats and registered two draws, they are yet to pick a win for a side that was so competitive last season.##NAJAVA_MECA_6923523##The latest defeat came on Wednesday against AFC Leopards at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani. A Cliff Nyakeya first-half strike settled the hotly contested clash. The goal came from a loose backpass that was intercepted by the winger.Muyoti is concerned with the bad run and asked what’s ailing his team, the tactician pointed at a dent in the team’s confidence for the woeful run.”First of all, I think it is a lack of confidence. We have drawn and lost some matches, and we’ve not gotten a win, and that is what is derailing us. We started badly with confidence wise but I am happy that we picked up in the second half, and we managed to create very good chances but we didn’t score. They got their chance, which we gave them a gift and they utilized and it’s back again to work, ” he stated.90’FULL TIMENairobi City Stars 0 – 1 Afc Leopards#SimbaWaNairobi pic.twitter.com/WUBNEAzXnw— Official Nairobi City Stars Fc (@NrbCityStars) January 4, 2023 The former Kenyan international also believes things would be different had his strikers taken the chances they create and revealed that they will be signing strikers during the mid-season window. He admits that his strikers Ezekiel Odera and Vincent Otieno are on a bad run.”We go into matches, start slowly but the confidence builds with time because we have been finishing matches strongly but we also need to look at our striking in the final third because we really need someone who can finish the chances that we create. Right now Odera is not on form, Vincent is really struggling, and it is an area that I think in the mid window we really need to look at and see what punch we can add on, ” he added.Next for them is an away game against Vihiga Bullets FC on Sunday.Michael Igendia to return as Gor Mahia strength and conditioning coach
