“Honestly,
I will tell you It’s still early days whether we got the maximum points
away from home or not, there is still much for teams including
ourselves to rally round to get things in our way, we don’t have to
start looking at that but to get the positives because we believe we can
still do it somewhere else, when we talk of the winning mentality in an
away ground, these players want to believe it is quite possible because
they have done it already.”

“The
next thing for us is to see every match as a cup, it’s a match at a
time. Osun United game is gone and we have to look ahead to Stationery
Stores. Luckily for us, we played them in a friendly during the
preseason, we know them quite well and they know us very well. It is
going to be an interesting encounter going to Lagos, we also want to see
what we can get in that match and put us in a very good position to
qualify from that group.”

“With
due respect to all the teams and just like them, if they are the one
coming to Sagamu, they would also want to fancy their chances of coming
here to get a point here and that’s the way we are also looking at it.
If we can get good result on the road, it stabilizes the team, the self
confidence comes in, self believe also sets in and we can actually push
ahead from there to get results.”

“It
will be a great thing for us to get the points in Lagos and we are
already preaching this to the players but it’s not going to be an easy
task, it’s really going to be a daunting one, we believe it is something
quite achievable for us and that’s the way we are looking at it.”

“We
are quite aware that it was really a disappointing outing in the last
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) and if there is anything we
have to bring these fans and make them forget everything that happened
is the ability to get back to topflight football as quickly as possible
and the fans should expect the best from the team.”

“Luckily
for us, the management did a wonderful job for us in terms of
preparation, I can recollect quite well that we were the first club in
Nigeria to resume and kick off our preseason. We took a three week break
and we returned to camp to partake in different competitions, we played
close to a hundred friendly matches. It is amazing and I find it
difficult to realise that we played that much, it explains why we have a
strong footing going into the NNL.” Osho said.
