Kakamega Homeboyz midfielder Eston Esiye believes that the team will have addressed its shortcomings before the league resumes next weekend.The Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) takes a break this weekend to pave the way for the Mozzart Bet Cup preliminary round.Homeboyz are among the teams that were exempted from the Cup’s preliminary round and thus will not be engaged in a competitive match this weekend.Gor Mahia ropes in four young talentsThe league break could not have come at a better time for Homeboyz, as before it, the team had not scored, let alone won, in five matches.Esiye just like anyone else at the club conceded that the team had been underwhelming in the last five matches with the striking department, crying for more attention.“Our recent runs haven’t been inspiring confidence, but at least we have time to work on it. The technical bench has been giving the scoring drills more attention and emphasis as we are hungry for more wins,” said the midfielder.Esiye, who leads in creating goals at the club in the current season, struggled to pin down what had triggered the poor run that limits their chances of winning the league title.##NAJAVA_MECA_7821858##The free-kick specialist termed it ‘normal’ for teams to experience a rough patch in the season but remained confident of towering over it.“It is difficult to point out the genesis of the poor run. Before that, we had won five consecutive matches. I think it is normal in football to experience this at some point in the season. The good thing is we are trying our best to overcome it,” he opened up.The run has created a 15-point gap between Homeboyz and long leaders Gor Mahia who are still unbeaten.Despite the gap, Esiye is clutching onto the hope that K’Ogalo will falter and close in on them.Meanwhile, the former Western Stima player challenged the team to focus on the next league assignment and turn a deaf ear to the title talks.“When you are struggling with form, you don’t pay much attention to the league title but rather the next match. Our focus is to win the next match and keep on taking one game at a time,” he added.Homeboyz are scheduled to host Muhoroni Youth next weekend at Bukhungu Stadium.
