“Our game against Wikki Tourist is a difficult game but we are hopeful of getting a result, they are a good and composed side with great display on the ball but I think we should outsmart them.”
On beating the drop, the winger continued by saying “I look at the table everyday, I am quite unhappy because the club isn’t scoring goals at the moment but if we get something here and go away to Bendel Insurance to pick something again then we will go all the way to escape relegation.”
