Fleet-footed KCB forward rings alarm bell over sluggish start

KCB winger Curtis Wekesa says his team has to start winning after failing to pick maximum points in their opening two league matches of the season.The last season’s league runner-up began the season with a 2-1 defeat in the hands of Gor Mahia before they settled for a barren draw against a depleted AFC Leopards on Saturday.After beefing up their squads, many anticipated that the Bankers would be serious contenders for the title of this campaign, and Wekesa admits that the slow start is a concern. He added that they need to start picking maximum points soonest in order to keep tabs with the leading pack in the league.“It is definitely a concern because when you have ambitions of winning the league, then you have to start the season strongly. We need to arrest the situation soon enough and start winning because playing catch up can be tough, “he told Mozzart Sport.Wekesa pointed out at failure utilize chances as their main undoing. He says they’re creating many opportunities which they have not been taking and believes that if they become more clinical they will start winning consistently.Ex Gor Mahia winger Curtis Wekesa is training with KCB FC#FKFPLTransfers pic.twitter.com/XtMYTD90Wi— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) February 10, 2021 “We have been playing well, I do not think we have been outplayed in any of the two games that we have played so far. Our main undoing has been with finishing, we create so many opportunities which we have failed to take and in the end, we fail to win. If we start taking these chances then things will definitely change,” he added.Next for the Bankers is a match against newbies FC Talanta at the Utalii rounds and the former Nairobi Stima and Gor Mahia speedster says they cannot afford to underrate Ken Kenyatta’s charges.“It is a tough game. Talanta are new in the league but we cannot risk underrating them because they can easily pull a surprise. They got a point against Wazito and that means if we take chances against them then we will easily be punished, we will have to put a professional show against them,” he concluded.
