Mbungo insists Bandari is still on course to achieve season's target

Bandari's failure to bag maximum points from their last Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) matches will not dent their hopes to win the title, coach Andre Casa Mbungo has insisted.

The dockers who are unbeaten in the last six games have recorded back to back draws against Nzoia Sugar and Wazito but despite the rough patch, Mbungo believes they are still within their objective of the campaign.

Mbungo who took over the reigns in January this year following the departure of Kennedy Odhiambo to Sofapaka laid bare his intentions of leading the club to muscle for the title.

The Rwandese tactician who was on Friday last week crowned as the February coach of the month said the two four points dropped in their last two outings were part of the game and called on his troops to brace up for recovery in their subsequent match.

"We are still on course to achieve our target for the season. Our results from the last two games does not necessarily mean that we have lost ground in our bid to meet what we set at the beginning. Bandari is a big club which deserves to be in the top four season in season out and winning the trophy is long overdue," he assured.

The former AFC Leopards boss who surprised many by deploying Ugandan midfielder William Wadri to the striking department at the expense of Yema Mwama and Johanna Mwita said the arrival of Umaru Kasumba will fully solve their goal scoring problems.

Kasumba made his Bandari debut during their 2-2 draw with Wazito on Saturday.

"He will add more power in our offensive side and will definitely score goals. He is still unfit but once he regains his form, he will certainly be our main man upfront," he added.
