Head coach of the Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, Gbenga Ogunbote, has appealed to the fans of the club for patience following their inconsistent run of form in the first stanza of the 2022/23 Nigeria Professional Football League season.
The Oluyole Warriors were held 2-2 by visiting Akwa United on Sunday, a second consecutive draw at home, which leaves them in sixth position in their group with 10 points from nine matches.
In contrast to their excellent run in pre-season, 3SC only won two games in the first stanza of the abridged league, which has raised questions about the ambition of the club.
Ogunbote, however, explained that the squad had been hampered by injuries, limiting his options in certain areas.
“I want to enjoin the fans not to lose confidence in us. Shooting Stars is their team and we are going to come back strongly. We implore them to show us more love in this trying period. We need them behind us to churn out good results. We are not happy too but that is football,” Ogunbote said.
“There is going to be a few additions into the team before the commencement of the second stanza. We have injury worries and lack of confidence amongst few players but that is not an excuse. We still have some time to make adjustments and we are going to go clinical in all departments to effect these changes. Also, we are going to harp on tactical discipline to change the fortune of the club.”
