Pillars
Bbosa’s teams are organised in defence; Gaddafi rose to 11th place after going a run of five games with neither a loss nor goal conceded but slumped to three defeats that dragged them from 7th place to 11th.
Bbosa says that the only way is to reorganise his defence but the latest suspensions will deal him a blow as the two are key in the heart of his backline.
“The team has struggled with injuries and was hinged on Captain Waiswa as one of the key defenders and Mahad Yaya, which affects our preparations towards the end of the season, but we shall use the ones available to see to it that we win our remaining games,” Bbosa added.
They face Maroons that holds the fifth position on the log with 36 points.
