Kisumu All-stars coach Salim Babu is adamant that his side will come good after a difficult start to the 2021/22 National Super League campaign where they sit just above the drop zone.All-Stars have managed Just one win in five outings and are just two points above bottom-placed Mwatate United and any further rot could see them drop further into the danger zone, a contrast to what the team envisioned before the start of the season. They recruited massively in preparation for a bounce-back to the FKF Premier League.“We have started the season slowly, it totally different from what we had planned but sometimes in football such things happen. You can have a very good plan on how you want things to turn out but other factors contribute to your plans failing. But it is still early in the season and there is no cause for alarm yet. We have to keep working hard in training to rectify our weaknesses and strengthen the areas that we are doing well even further, it is just a matter of time before we start flying again,” the soft-spoken tactician opines.A government backed team broke?

He is now working on fixing his backline.“I think we have a problem with our defence line. We have been letting in very easy goals and that is an area that we have to keep working on. I believe that it is a problem that can be fixed at the training ground through practice and friendly games,” he added.Off the pitch, the team has also been facing its challenges. Cash flow has become a major issue for them with the County government unable to foot the team’s bills and club CEO Nick Ochieng says they are working towards fixing the issue with the Kisumu County leadership.NSL results Shabana 2 Mombasa Elite 0Fortune Sacco 3 Kisumu All Stars 0Silibwet Leons 4 Mwatate United 3Vihiga United 3 Gusii FC 0Murang’a Seal 1 Kibera Black Stars 0APs Bomet 1 Migori Youth 1Dandora Love 2 Naivas 1Muhoroni Youth 0 MCF 1Mara Sugar 2 Zoo FC 2— Meshack Kisenge (@kisengemeshack1) December 19, 2021 As you know, we depend on the county government for our facilitation. Right now they are having challenges with the national government and that is why they are not in a position to meet their financial obligations. We have written to them in detail explaining what the team needs because without money it is difficult to run a team. You cannot travel, provide the players with meals and facilitation and so it is tough. The county government has promised to look at it and we hope that things will be better before our next game, “ he stated.
