Akhulia under pressure to regain lost mojo in FKF-PL

Bidco United head coach Anthony AKhulia says they will have to go back to the drawing board to find solutions to their poor run in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League.

Bidco are winless in their last six games and have gone down in their last two, the latest defeat coming against Kakamega Homeboyz on Sunday, 3-1 at the Bukhungu Stadium – Kakamega.

The win stretched Homeboyz’s lead at the top while for Bidco, it drew them closer to bottom-placed teams, only 11 points above relegation zone.

AKhulia is now feeling the heat and he says he will have to urgently organise for a sit down with his boys  who are finding it rough in their second season in the topflight.

Among the biting issues, the soft spoken tactician pointed out poor communication which he feels has resulted in his team letting-in easy goals in recent matches.

"We are playing well yes, but at the end of the day result is what matters. We will sit down with the players and find ways to tie the loose ends because we are badly exposed,” Akhulia told Citizen Digital.

Akhulia further noted that slow starts in games has proved costly for the team as they are struggling to bounce back after conceding early goals. Against Homeboyz, they conceded three goals in the first stanza on their way to the loss.

"We need a lot of concentration in the entire 90 minutes. We have been starting our matches at a low pace, something that gives our opponents time to score early and lock the game,” he added.

Bidco are14th on the FKF PL log with 20 points after 19 rounds. They take on Nairobi City Stars on Saturday in Thika and Akhulia is hoping his side responds positively.
