With the 7 points we've already picked on our away trips, I’m confident we can recover the points dropped today when we face Lobi Stars,” he stated. His comments reflect a strong belief in his team’s ability to perform under pressure.
The result against Heartland saw Kano Pillars drop to sixth on the NPFL table, with 18 points from 12 matches. They are currently five points behind league leaders Remo Stars, making their clash against Lobi Stars critical for staying in contention at the top of the standings.
