“… Injuries Affected us in some matches but new players have arrived”
Head coach of Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, Gbenga Ogunbote, has assured fans and supporters of the club to expect a continental ticket at the end of the season
The Oracle as Ogubote is fondly called stated this during a media Parley held on Tuesday at the Club’s office , Jericho, Ibadan.
The former Remo Stars, Rangers FC noted that he had identified few areas in the team and the management has acceded to his request to add new players to his team
The former Sunshine Stars handler made the disclosure following their inconsistent run of form in the first stanza of the 2023/24 Nigeria Professional Football League season, varsportnow.blogspot.com reports.
The Oluyole Warriors on Sunday endef the first stanza on a bad note losing 2-1 to visiting Enyimba FC which leaves them in 11th position on the log with 23 points from 18 matches with a game in hand
Ogunbote, however, explained that the squad had been hampered by injuries, limiting his options in certain matches and thus will add few players to fortify the team
“I sincely wish to appreciate the fans and supporters of the club for the love shown to us . This is indeed a great club with rich history. I like 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.”
