“As a coach am not panicking, the team will survive, those who have been in my situation knows, remember how we performed against Canbrone bullets, and we got the game in hand,”
“We managed to get points in that game and I can safely say that game gave us an advantage. We are away from relegation as we have 22 games to play so it’s still a long way to go. At the moment we can’t say Platinum FC are now the champions or Highlanders FC, it’s still a long way to go.” Said Nyikadzino

“The league is still going, my main focus is on giving service to my fans. As it stands we need one game to get out of relegation,” he said
He went on to say as a team they now needed strikers so that they get scores which are key for their stay in the league.
“We have good players but we need to get scores, so to address problem, with the assistance of the board we are working towards getting strikers who can help us in getting results.” he added.
Construction Boys captain, Nigel Mupanduki however said the Ngezi game was a tough encounter but was confident they will sail through.
“It’s a tough encounter we are facing but we’re confident of winning, as players we are ready to face Ngezi and we know we will do better with the home advantage” he added.
