Akwa United head coach, Fatai Osho has attributed poor marksmanship as the main reason for his side’s poor run in the Nigeria Premier Football League this season.
The former champions are languishing in the bottom half of the table after winning just two games from 11 this term.
Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Kwara United has piled more pressure on Osho whose job may now be on the line.
The Promise Keepers were particularly wasteful against Kwara United as they did in their previous games.
Osho reckoned his team needed further reinforcements upfront to stem the tide.
“We have shown overtime that we have a fundamental problem going forward,” Osho told npfl.com.ng.
“You saw it today (against Kwara United). We had chances begging (to be converted) inside the box. These are things we need to correct and also, we will be bringing (new) personnel to that attack.
“We are not clinical (in the final third). Let us look at the stats of this match and the chances created especially attempts at goal, I mean it is a problem.
“We saw this problem before the season started and we tried to correct it and the management tried to get some players involved and we couldn’t. The big boys in Nigeria football were able to take those boys away from us.”
Akwa United occupy 17th position on the table.
The Uyo club will travel to Sani Abacha Stadium for their next game against Kano Pillars on Wednesday.
