Read every area the gaffer touched on:
Preparations for Sunday
After some time of recovery, we will be back at Kamuzu Stadium against Mighty Wanderers. It's one of those tough games but the boys are ready
Meeting Bullets last week, Wanderers this week
It doesn't matter, all what matters is going into the football field, play games ,and move on. You can play any team at anytime of the season. The boys are ready, no excuses. Even if you play Wanderers today, Bullets tomorrow, Silver it does not matter. All what matters is mental preparedness and tactical awareness in the game.
Sunday's match and the opponnents
It will be a tough game, considering that they do not want to lose the grip at top. Bullets and Wanderers are fighting for top spot, we are new in the league. The pressure is on Wanders. If the lose or draw against Ekhaya they will lose ground on Bullets.
More yellow cards in previous game and squad descipline
It's not good for the team. I was at Bullets for over eight years. We never received any red card in seven years. It happens sometimes due to the tample of the game. The game against Bullets was more of a high tempo match but as coaches we need to control our players. We need to be discliplined enough. We belive that is the thing of the past, we don't think on we will have a high tempered match. We need to control the situation and be a good team on the field of play.
Elias Missi and Babatunde Incident last week
No comment. We have been brought up differently. Sometimes there are certain situations you can control, sometimes not. It happens all over the world. We have seen clashes of Mo Salah with Sergio Ramos, Messi-Pepe clashes, it happens in football. All w need is to have a good team and dscliplines. They have to respect the riles of the game. We need to control every situation in the game.
Squad update
Two big absentees, Innocent Msowoya and Emmanuel Saviel. Quite important players to the team. We have missed Saviel for quite some time. Msowoya was available against Bullets, he will not play against Wanderers. We have to use available. We do not need to give excuses after 90 minutes.
Hadji James' return and if he has a chance on Sunday
He may be given a chance according to how he has fared in the past four days. We are going to assess him from tomorrow up to Saturday perform
Sunday's approach
Sometimes you plan a certain game plan and it works out, sometimes you do not have better results. All what matters is how the boys respond. We have to manage the game in transitions. If you lose the ball you have to cover it, if you win the ball you have to cover it. The boys are responding, we believe we are ging to have a good game on Sunday.
