Shabana FC dangerman Brian Michira has admitted that the ongoing fans’ boycott is taking a toll on them and affecting their performances.Once again, a majority of Shabana fans stayed away from their match against Kariobangi Sharks on Saturday 26 October at Dandora Stadium.A seemingly rejuvenated Shabana was however, the better side in the game, with the end result a 1-1 draw. Michira put the Glamour Boys ahead in the 57th minute before Keith Imbali equalized for the hosts seven minutes later from the penalty spot.##NAJAVA_MECA_8449368##Shabana, without head coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo, pushed for a winner but was not meant to be.Speaking to Mozzart Sport after the match, the winger acknowledged the effects of the fans’ boycott, saying they will work hard to bring them back.“Of course, the boycott affects us. We need our fans back at the stadium, and that will come when we post positive results.Ezekiel Seda on why Kariobangi Sharks struggled against ShabanaWe miss them, but again, it is for us to make sure they return. They have been with the team in bad moments, and so we will just have to win games to bring them back,” said Michira.The winger also gave his views on the team’s performance that neutralized the Sharks’ attack that has consumed many at Dandora Stadium.“We have pushed ourselves as a team. All of us were aware of our situation and so everyone had to give their all and work as a team to get results.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8445370##Michira was equally confident of a win in their upcoming match if they post an even better performance.“We just have to be patient. The way we played against Sharks, we just need to take it a notch higher, and we will have our first win,” he stated.Further, the Shabana attacker said that he understands the responsibility that he bears to help the club turn around their fortunes but again called on all players to give their best.Gor Mahia fans force captain to apologise after first defeat of season [VIDEO]“Apart from being one of the players in the team, I was the team’s top scorer last season, and so I know the team needs me as much as it needs all of us and so I would just urge all of us to work as a team because it is not an individual sport,” he said.Shabana still find themselves in the relegation zone with three points from five matches, and will host an equally struggling Nairobi City Stars on Saturday 2 November in their next league match.
