Don't panic, Mwalala tells Homeboyz

Kakamega Homeboyz head coach Bernard Mwalala is not deterred in his quest to lift their first ever Kenyan Premier League title, despite dropping points against Sofapaka on Sunday.

Mwalala has however told his players to keep the focus they have exhibited since the beginning of the season, with their lead over challengers Tusker FC now reduced to eight points.

“There is an element of panic that I have witnessed with the players after the last two games but the situation is under control. We are hoping to bounce back to winning ways in our next match, I have told the players that is normal in football and they should not panic,” said Mwalala

Mwalala wants his charges to focus on bouncing back to winning ways, without over thinking of the title after the 1-1 draw against the 2009 champions, who they have drawn twice this season.

“Sofapaka is a very strong team that no one should underrate. Thay have very good players and their technical bench is very experienced, they gave us a hard time but we were lucky to get the two draws.

Homeboyz next take on Police FC, a match Mwalala expects to be tough with the law enforcers coming from loss to Talanta.

“They are wounded and they will want to revenge against us to derail our title ambitions but we are working hard in training to get back to winning ways,” Mwalala told Citizen Digital.

Homeboyz are at the top of the Kenyan Premier League log with 54 points from 26 matches played.
