The Solid Miners presently sit sixth on the log after fourteen games with 23 points having won seven, lost five, and drew two.
As the team returns to victory after losing 1:0 away to MFM in Lagos, coach Bala still maintains confidence in his team to finish in the top five positions stating that the team plays very well despite the occasional loss.
” I have good players. I can beat my chest on that. I have some of the best legs the league has. Whenever we are losing a game is out of ill luck. After playing very well, we lose. That means it has been destined to happen. As far as we don’t go out of that spot, I don’t have fear.
Nasarawa United faces Sunshine stars away, Akwa Starlets at home, and will have to travel to the land of the hills to face second on the log team, Enugu Rangers in their next three NPFL fixtures.
