“There is no team, we need an overhaul,” Songwe’s Nyambose outlines transfer wish

Songwe Border Football Club continued their desperate search for a win, suffering a crushing 4-0 defeat to Chitipa United at Karonga Stadium, marking their ninth loss of the season. The rookies are clearly struggling to adapt to the intensity of the elite league, remaining rooted to the bottom of the table with little hope.

Head Coach Christopher Nyambose, brought in to bolster the technical panel, has frequently attributed the team’s woes to a lack of Super League experience among his players. On Wednesday, he was even more direct in his assessment.

“There is no team, this team needs an overhaul. Songwe Border United people should agree with me. We need to add new players in the transfer window. We have to inject some two or three guys,” Nyambose declared.

He used an analogy to emphasize his point: “Had it been that it is a car, we would have said that we need injectors, some spare parts here and there because we are moving with a wounded team.”

Nyambose stressed the need for significant reinforcements across multiple positions. “So many positions need to be beefed up, I cannot even disclose now but in general, the team needs overhaul, we need to start again.”

Despite the bleak outlook, Nyambose expressed a surprising confidence in survival, albeit with caveats. “Definitely, we will survive relegation.

“Seven players are better and we can start with them but when two or three of them get knocks, that means I’m in problems, if they are not well on that particular day, then I have problems. We need to have backups so that when we make changes, there must be a positive change.”

He further criticized his players’ decision-making: “It’s just a matter of thinking capability, that’s where maturity comes, they don’t know what to do with the ball on their own, they always depend on the technical panel to tell them, they don’t know.

“You can look at Chitipa players, they are similar to ours, in fact our players have good heights, physically fit, but they don’t know what to do with the ball when attacking and defending.”
