Shabana coach Sammy 'Pamzo' Omollo feels his team can start winning regularly now that some 'easy fixtures' lie ahead.
Shabana head coach Sammy Omollo ‘Pamzo’ has revealed why he is hopeful for the future of the club for the remainder of the season despite losing 1-0 to Kenya Police last Saturday.
A David Okoth goal was enough to give Police all the three points, which leaves Shabana in 17th place on 22 points with the season now approaching its final stretch.
Speaking to Pulse Sports following the loss, Pamzo expressed optimism that his side will bounce back, especially considering they created the better opportunities particularly in the second half but did not take them.

Pamzo has found the going difficult since joining the fabled former giants.
“I believe we could have gotten a goal, but the thing is, we have to avoid mistakes. We are making small mistakes that are leading to goals," he added.
“These are things that we should do away with. Any time we make mistakes, we get punished which costs us.”

“The more I talk to them, the more we train, they will learn from their mistakes. I do not want them to make mistakes because it turns costly," said the coach.
“The fighting spirit is there. I cannot fault them about that but going forward, we need to do more. I believe from now, we will get softer fixtures.”
