Goal struggle: Nzoia coach Odero decries blunt attack

Nzoia Sugar FC head coach Charles Odero has expressed disappointment over his team’s continued failure to convert scoring chances, attributing their poor run of results to a lack of concentration among the strikers.

The National Super League (NSL) side has drawn five consecutive matches this season, the latest being a 2–2 stalemate against Mombasa United on Sunday at the Sudi Stadium. Odero said the players’ lack of composure in front of goal has cost the team valuable points.

“We have been having issues in scoring goals. This week we worked on finishing, and our strikers tried hard and managed to get two goals,” Odero told Citizen Digital.

The tactician added that the heavy rainfall during Sunday’s encounter disrupted his side’s rhythm and contributed to their loss of focus.

“We played really well, but the momentum was disrupted by the rains. Our players lost concentration after taking a brief break,” he noted.

Despite the frustrating run, Odero remains optimistic about turning things around. He said the team is now focused on their upcoming fixture against Kisumu Allstars and that he plans to address weaknesses observed across all departments during training.

After six matches, Nzoia Sugar have recorded one win and five draws, collecting a total of eight points. The team will be seeking to end their streak of draws and reignite their campaign as they aim to climb up the NSL standings.
