“So far, so good” Pasuwa believes that he has enough “squad depth” this season

Nyasa Big Bullets were held to a 1-all stalemate against Dedza Dynamos Football Club on Saturday afternoon in their opening fixture of the 2024 TNM Super League.

Head Coach, Kalisto Pasuwa said the newly signed players have adapted to his system so quickly after giving them minutes in Dedza.

Crispin Mapemba who was promoted from the Reserve side was handed his Super League debut as a left back while Chikumbutso Salima appeared in Bullets’ jersey in the Super League for the first time after a one-year loan at Bangwe All Stars.

Zimbabwean defender, Collins Mujuru partnered with Clyde Senaji Navade in defence before Ronald Chitiyo came off the bench towards the end of the game.

Pressed on the performance of the new players, the Zimbabwean gaffer said the players did well and he is confident that he has a very good squad depth this season.

“They [new players] are coming good, I thought it would take time but you can see, Collin and the other guy who came in in the second half, I can say that I have a very good depth in depth of squad,” said Pasuwa.

The people’s team are at number 8 after failing to collect maximum points from Dedza, a pitch that they usually struggle to get maximum points.

Silver Strikers beat Chitipa United on Saturday but Pasuwa said the league is a marathon and they will work on the shortfalls so that they come good in the next game.

Adds Pasuwa: “So far so good, remember I’m one coach who says that we play one game as it comes, we are supposed to be playing 30 games of the league.

“Today we got a draw and we prepare for [Mighty Waka Waka] Tigers, they are a good team and we hope the best when we play them.”

Ephraim Kondowe scored for Bullets in the first half but Promise Kamwendo capitalized on Bullets’ defensive debacle to plant home Chifuniro Mpinganjira’s ball.

Mighty Tigers who lost to the rookies, CRECK Sporting Club are next on Bullets’ menu this weekend at home.
