Leopards sit 17th in the table, putting them perilously in the relegation places just three points ahead of rock-bottom Sofapaka.
AFC Leopards vice captain Cliff Nyakeya has sent a message to Ingwe fans, pledging to do better in order to get out of their current predicament following the re-appointment of Tomas Trucha as head coach.
Leopards have failed to win any of their first six matches this season, as the management resorted to part ways with Tom Juma despite only appointing him in July following the departure of Patrick Aussems.
Ingwe decided to return to Tomas Trucha, who left in 2020 after just one month in charge, citing threats from fans claiming to be the management.

FKFPL Dennis Oliech advocates for Ksh100,000 minimum wage for FKFPL players
The former Harambee Stars goal-getter has revealed why football is way off becoming a sport that can contribute to economic growth in Kenya.
The Den is clearly not in the most conducive of states, but Nyakeya has reason to believe that things will get better for the 13-time league champions.
“It will get better, I am confident (about that),” Nyakeya told Pulse Sports.
“Unfortunately, we do not have time to allow us (to keep failing to win), but it will get better. We do not know where the next win will come, but we hope it will be soon.”

FKFPL Cliff Nyakeya's vow to end tumult in AFC Leopards
The Harambee Stars winger is optimistic that he can still turn up big for Ingwe as the season is still short.
Nyakeya has admitted that the players are equally hurting like the fans, which is inspiring them to want to get a win as soon as possible.
“We are working hard to get a win. The fans expect more and they deserve more from this team because we have quality players, so we need to deliver in order to make them happy.
“We are not different from fans, this is AFC. This is a big team, we must win every game because every game is a pressure game that must be won. The pressure does not come from the fans, it comes from the stature of the club.

FOOTBALL Cliff Nyakeya speaks on AFC Leopards struggles this season after winless start
The speedy winger has revealed the reason AFC Leopards have struggled to win their last two matches and has rallied his teammates to work hard in training to abate the problem.
“This club should be performing and produce good results on the pitch.”
Ingwe have drawn four and lost two of their opening six fixtures, and in the two games before the Gor Mahia match, they dropped points from winning positions, which counted dear against them.
Against Police, they went ahead twice, but could not hang on to their lead at Kasarani, and both sides had to leave Kasarani sharing the spoils.

FOOTBALL Why Michael Olunga should not be judged on goals alone despite Harambee Stars drought
Michael Olunga has faced criticism from a section of Kenyan fans over his lack of goals for Harambee Stars but he brings much more to the side
Against Shabana at the Ulinzi Sports Complex a week later, it was still the same situation, where Ingwe went ahead, but could not hang on to their lead.
Against sworn rivals Gor Mahia, they never got going as K’Ogalo rallied to a 2-0 win inspired by Benson Omala.
Leopards sit 17th in the table, three points ahead of rock-bottom Sofapaka.
