Mpinganjira remain optimistic for title after Nomads slip

Mighty Wanderers head coach, Bob Mpinganjira, remains positive that his team can still win the TNM Super League title despite that they missed a greater chance to have an advantage in the title race.

The Nomads managed to return to the North with just a point from two games after playing a goalless draw against Chitipa United last Sunday and also losing to Mzuzu City Hammers on Wednesday.

Mpinganjira said the chances are still on but it needs focus and hard work for his team to win the championship.

''The league is indeed title but we just need to remain focused in our remaining games and work hard to collect points. The chance are many but we just need good performance to get there,'' said Mpinganjira.

The Nomads will now face a two sided battle as Silver Strikers come behind them with a 9-points gap and two games in hand while FCB Nyasa Big Bullets lead on goal difference.

They have 56 points with five games left to wind

Wanderers miss top spot, lose virginity to return with one point

Mighty Wanderers will have to sweat in order to win this years TNM Super League after blowing up an advantage to open up a three-point gap following a shock 2-1 defeat over Mzuzu City Hammers at the Mzuzu Stadium on Wednesday.

After a barren draw, Promise Kamwendo fired the Nomads ahead in the 55th minute but Samuel Olatubosan levelled it in the 82nd minute before Isaiah Nyirenda netting a 94th minute winner in the game.

Head coach Bob Mpinganjira conceded the defeat by saying his team missed a lot of chances that could have been converted into goals.

''It happens in a game of football, we played well and tried hard where we created chances but we failed to score which gives you a punishment so luck was just not on our side,'' he said.

The Nomads have also open chances to Silver Strikers who can cover the gap down to three points as the League heats up.

They remain second in the League with 56 points from 25 games.

He said this ahead of the match at the Mzuzu Stadium where he said that his team knows the importance of winning the game that will see them topping the league.

''We will take the game seriously, we have told the boys the importance of winning this game so we will try everything so that we get a result,'' he said.

WANDERERS MISSES TOP SPOT TO DELAY CHAMPIONSHIP JOURNEY

Mighty Wanderers missed a chance to restore a two-point lead on top of the table with an advantage of a game-in-hand as they failed to capitalise on FCB Nyasa Big Bullets' slip with a 0-0 draw against Chitipa United at the Chitipa Stadium on Sunday.

The Nomads put up a poor show in the first half which saw Chitipa dominating and an improved second half made the game balanced but still failed to get a win to put themselves under pressure in a battle for Championship.

Head coach Bob Mpinganjira said the result was very bad as his team wanted a win, however the one point is also important for them.

''It was a tough game but we tried everything that we could have done in order to get a positive result which we have failed, an away point is also important for us,'' said Mpinganjira.

He also said that the intensity is just too much in the league and his team needs to put much effort in order to get this year's championship.
