Coach Douglas Bamweyana had mixed feelings after out
goalless draw away to Police in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League opening
game.
Last season, the Cops beat us 2-1 home and away and earning
a point off them was an improvement from last season but with the chances we
had to win the game, the coach feels three points would have made the day
better.
“First, we are happy with the fact that we have improved
from the last performances against this side. But overall, we are disappointed.
“I thought we got the best of chances and we should have
done better and on a day. Being the first day, we didn’t control the game as we
wanted but there is a lot of room to improve to sustain the attacks longer and
the time in the second half when sustained attacks longer, we looked the side
we are supposed to be so there is a lot of work to do and we probably want to
do better in the next one but for now, we settle for a point.”
On the four debutants; Edward Satulo, Joshua Lubwama, Rahmat
Ssenfuka and Ibrahim ‘Owen’ Kasule
“I was very pleased with all of them. Satulo was imperious
at the back, Ssenfuka marshalled the midfield well and Owen when he came on
created quite a number of things and we were just unfortunate not to benefit
from them. Joshua (Lubwama) did well only that he felt something like a
hamstring and we had to withdraw him but he did a lot of good things especially
off the ball but of course.
The whole team did well and whatever we did or missed, it’s
about the team and not individuals.”
Our next fixture is at home to Kyetume FC on Wednesday
December 9 at Kabaka Kyabaggu stadium, Wakissha.
