FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Seek Redemption as they Face Mzuzu City Hammers in TNM Super League
FCB Nyasa Big Bullets are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Blue Eagles as they travel to Rumphi Stadium in Mzuzu for a TNM Super League fixture against Mzuzu City Hammers on Thursday,
The defeat was a painful blow for Bullets, who have now lost their last two games and find themselves six points behind log leaders Mighty Wanderers in the title race. Head coach Peter Mponda has underlined the importance of recovering lost ground and bouncing back positively.
"We are coming from a painful defeat, which we lost to Blue Eagles at Kamuzu Stadium," Mponda said. "The boys know the importance of bouncing back tomorrow, and they know how costly it is to lose points at home. We need to recover those three points we dropped on Sunday,"
Bullets will face a determined Mzuzu City Hammers side, who are also coming off back-to-back defeats but have the advantage of playing at home. Mponda has warned against underestimating the opposition, who have been playing well despite their recent results.
"They are not only good at home, but everywhere. In their last two games, they were just unfortunate not to get results, but they played very well. They also have the advantage of playing at home, and we know they will give us a tough run,"
Midfielder Peter Banda, who is making progress in his recovery from injury, may feature in the squad, but Mponda insists he still needs more minutes before being fully fit.
"He is getting to his best, but he is not there yet. Once he plays four or five games, he’ll get there. We don’t want to rush him. He needs a slow introduction, but I’m happy with how he is performing,"
Despite recent setbacks, Mponda remains optimistic about the team's direction and has urged fans to remain patient as they build something new. "In terms of results, we haven’t been very good, but we are happy with where we are. Yes, we are struggling, but we’re not under pressure. We’re still within reach, and we are taking it one game at a time,"
Bullets' fans have been unwavering in their support, despite recent setbacks. Mponda took time to appreciate their patience and encourages them to continue supporting the team.
"I just want to thank them for exercising patience in the midst of bad results. Yes, the results are not coming, but they have been very supportive. We still need their support. They know the team was disjointed at the start of the season and we’re trying to build something new. We are thankful, and we believe we will deliver,"
Bullets' next fixture against Mzuzu City Hammers promises to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to bounce back from recent setbacks. Stay tuned for live updates and coverage.
