HARARE – Highlanders technical manager Madinda Ndlovu, photographed, is concerned about the lack of sharpness in her team that caused them to lose three matches
The bad series started with a 1-0 home defeat by the city rivals Bulawayo Chiefs before another identical loss to defending champion FC Platinum before the two-week break last month.
Ndlovu hoped to rectify the shortcomings, but fell once again to the Black Rhinos 1-0 Sunday at the National Sports Stadium.
The losing streak saw the Bulawayo giants stagnate in seventh place on the paper with 29 points of 18 points.
Bosso is now 15 points behind the leader of FC Platinum
Highlanders has scored only 17 goals in 18 games, a poor ratio of 0.94 goals per game, which left Ndlovu in an embarrbading situation. [19659003] "We were in control of most of the game in the second half, I think we went very well but despite everything that I talked about in the first half of the season, we have a big challenge in terms of finishing and this once again demonstrates that we were missing an experienced striker who could give us the urge Ndlovu said after the defeat against Rhinos
"But the mid-season window does not have any effect. is not really the one you can watch and say we need a lot of players. But we could think of maybe bringing one or two to balance the team, but it's not really something we can get rid of.
The Bulawayo giants have been linked to their former forward Prince Dube, who is expected to return to Bosso on loan from the South African Absa Premiership SuperSport United team.
Although they have not won in three consecutive matches, Ndlovu is not very worried because he thinks the team is still under development.
After returning from Botswana late last year, Ndlovu made it clear that he was rebuilding the team primarily using players from his development program.
Senior players like Eric Mudzingwa, Simon Munawa, Njabulo Nyoni, Tendai Ngulube and Ralph Matema have all been released.
Young players like Brian Banda, Nigel Mukumbe, Charlton Siamangola, Adrian Silla, Tafadzwa Jaravani and Ben Musaka are now the mainstays of the team. "Remember, I said at the beginning that we are working on a very serious and important project which is to try to bring the exciting football back to Highlanders.
" So it will be really unfair for me to crucify the boys during this window. I think they did well right here.
"I think we have to look at this from the point of view that we have to give them time, keep going with them, show them what football is and they will gain experience; they will get there. "
