NPFL:  Rivers United Is Still On Course – Eguma

Technical manager of Rivers United FC of Port Harcourt, Stanley Eguma has said that his team was still on course to qualify for the Super Six despite the recent one all draw against Abia Warriors at home and  3-2 loss to Lobi Stars of Makurdi.
The encounter with Lobi Stars was a rescheduled for week 11  in the Nigeria Professional Football League, (NPFL), that was played on Wednesday in Makurdi.
According to him, the narrow loss to their host will not affect the performance of his team rather it will make them put more efforts as Nigeria League Champions.
This was contained in his post match  interview and made available to  Tidesports by the media Officer of the club, Charles Mayuku, last week Wednesday.
He attributed the loss to the centre referee for not managing the game well after he dished out five yellow cards  and one red card to his players.
“ I am not the one to judge the referee. I think we should have done better if not that the referee did not manage the game well.
“ The League is till on we are still on course for Super six game. We have not lost focus because we are still the current champions, I believe that at the end of the day we will be one of the clubs to play in the Super six. That is our target now.
“ We cannot say it is over simply because we lost one game today.
We still have other games to play and we are going to ensure we get good results from those games”, Eguma said.
He equally said that what they need to do now is to go back to the drawing board and correct the grey areas in the team to enable them win their subsequent matches.
