Instead, they were forced onto the back foot for the majority of the game.Speaking to Mozzart Sport after the match, the former AFC Leopards midfielder shared the first reason for their struggles.“We were passing too quickly, which made our combinations in the middle of the park difficult,” said Seda.Seda also admitted that the team missed the trio of Biron Otieno, who suffered an injury last week, Andres Odhiambo, who is away with the national team, and Ally Salum, who is sidelined with an injury.“There’s a big possibility their absence affected the flow of our game, but the lads we entrusted with the responsibility had our confidence to perform,” he added.Shorthanded Gor Mahia set for City Stars showdown in MachakosIn addition to the trio, the team also missed their tactician, William Muluya, who was away in South Sudan on national team duty.The third reason for Sharks’ struggles was the congested fixture schedule, which made Seda welcome the draw as a good result. They had lost their previous match by a solitary goal.“It has been a busy and congested week for us, but especially coming off this game against Shabana with a point, it is a job well done from us,” he said.Further, the former Mathare United player disclosed the reason behind the absence of star striker and top scorer Salum.“Ally picked up an injury in training, but we expect him back soon,” he stated.Sharks are currently second in the league table and will face Talanta FC in their next match.Former Gor Mahia forward impressed with return to form after six months out
