AFTER the defeat to Hwange FC at Luveve Stadium last weekend, Cranborne Bullets coach Nesbert Saruchera looked like a man ready to throw in the towel.
He buried his head in his hands, sighed and looked to the sky as if asking for an answer to the question:
“What more must I do to get my first win?”
Saruchera has watched his team lose four times and draw twice so far in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
To make matters worse, Cranborne Bullets have not scored a single goal this season.
“The Hwange defeat was particularly disappointing because we played good football from the onset and at least deserved a draw. Failing to score in six matches has been hard on the players and it affects the mentality of the strikers a lot so yes, I’m worried about the team’s failure to score.
“I could blame it (failure to score) on decision making, when we are supposed to shoot we pass and when we are supposed to pass we shoot but we are going to correct it very soon.
“I remain confident that our situation will change. I know people are already talking of relegation but it’s still early days, two wins for us will change everything,” Saruchera told B-Metro.
Against Hwange FC, Saruchera and his charges conceded a late first-half goal by Brighton Makopa to lose the match at Luveve Stadium last Saturday.
It was Makopa’s fourth goal of the season which makes him the league’s leading goal scorer.
Hwange are playing their home matches in Bulawayo as a result of renovations at the Hwange Colliery Stadium to meet requirements to stage Premier Soccer League games.
It was Chipangano’s third win of the season in their first six matches.
