Achesa backs Rangers to find footing, take FKFPL title race to the wire

Posta Rangers left-back Titus Achesa has vouched for the mailmen to take the FKF Premier League title chase to the wire.Rangers had a solid start to the campaign, which saw them stay at the summit for the better part of the opening weeks of the campaign.However, a rough patch halfway through the season saw the John Kamau-coached team’s title chances fizzle out.##NAJAVA_MECA_7978557##A fortnight ago, before the FIFA international break, Rangers suffered back-to-back losses in Kariobangi Sharks and Gor Mahia matches, where they lost 5-1 and 4-0, respectively.The results saw the Postal Cooperation-sponsored side soak in nine goals in what were their biggest defeats of the season and further widen the gap with table-toppers Gor Mahia to eleven points.Rangers further suffered yet another setback following their elimination from the Mozzart Bet Cup tournament after being knocked out by Kenya Police, who handed them a 1-0 defeat in the round of 32 fixtures. How Achesa is making a killing from his chicken-rearing side hustleDespite the recent deep runout, Achesa believes they have what it takes to avert the poor run and return to winning ways.”It has been a long run of not-so-good results, especially the two huge defeats we suffered before the break, but then it’s football, and certainly we need to improve our performance in the remaining matches. We have a squad capable of getting the job done, and I’m hopeful we will get back to victorious ways,” he said.The experienced defender rejoined Rangers midway through the previous season for yet another stint after cutting ties with Sofapaka.History favors Harambee Stars as they face Zimbabwe in the Four-Nation tournament finalAchesa, who has four assists to his name, is optimistic that the Rangers stand a chance of winning the FKF Premier League title. “We are trailing Gor Mahia by eleven points, and definitely that makes it a huge task for us. However, there are 30 points to fight for, and I am confident we are still firmly in the race. We are going to take the fight to the tail end of the season, especially after being eliminated from the Mozzart Bet Cup competition,” he added.
