My boys lack fighting spirit - Gombe Utd coach

The Technical Adviser of Gombe United, Bala Nikyu has described his team as a team without fighting spirit.

Speaking with the media after his side lost 5- 0 to Tornadoes in the Week 29 away match in Kaduna, the lamented that his boys just surrender without resistance.

"This is the first time am sitting on the bench since joining the team. I came in to watch them against Remo Stars. Despite knocking the ball around, I'll say the approach to the game was bad, the team lack fighting spirit and it's actually the major problem."

On whether the team will keep majority of the boys for continuity, coach Nikyu said it's difficult to tell.

"It's one thing for a team to want a player to stay and another thing for the player to want to stay.

"Yes the boys are good individually and they can get better if kept together for next season but we need a lot of work to change the players mentality and orientation," he said.
