The highlights point to a good game.

The jersey colours were reversed, Akwa United usually wear orange and I initially thought they were the team that conceded the goal until I saw the scores.

The attendance was rather poor for a local derby, particularly with the good form of Dakkada.

The Uyo pitch didn’t look to be in the best of shapes.

League table after 12 rounds

Not looking good for my beloved Enugu Rangers (7 points from safety with 3 games in hand) but there is still time to turn things around. The upturn has to start immediately though as time is running out.

ukwala,

I feel Rangers will finish about three places above relegation. This is just a prediction by looking at away records of all league teams. What Rangers need to work on is reducing the amount of points that they drop at home. If they do that, then they will be safe going forward.

They have a good coach, good players, and are joint 2nd highest on points but with a better goal difference.

EII, yea Rangers should be safe but they have to iron out things pretty quickly. For one, the coaching situation remains unsorted as Salisu Yusuf is but on loan from NFF for the CAF Confed cup. They need a substantive coach with a longer term view.

Two, it would appear that the players who left at the end of last season were not adequately replaced. Bright Silas and Godwin Aguda come to mind.

Let’s see how quickly the team is able to return to winning ways

They also have a match in hand going by that table, which means their point per game ratio is better than Rivers Utd's points per game. In addition, Lobi Stars FC has a better goal difference.

The big error on that table, however, is the listing of Akure Sunshine Stars ahead of Wikki Tourists. It should be the other way round.

Ukwala,

There was a report before their continental #1 game that several regulars were out injured. Are they now fit?

EII,

While we have had our fair share of injuries with key players being out for exended periods of time, I would not attribute the poor season so far to the injuries as a critical mass of players have always been available to choose from. The issue has more to do with the quality of the squad which was probably accurately reflected in the paucity of players in the CHAN squad. This is not to say that the players are not good enugh to do well in the league. Coaching seems to be the major challenge now.

We have a matchday 13 game against Ifeanyi Ubah today in Enugu. Hopefully the come back starts today.

Comrade Toxic and Bashorun YemiB, this is for you

EII,

Sunshine has a higher goals for (14 vs 11). They are level on points and goal difference so the table is correct.

Rangers won at home today, 3-1 over Ifeanyi Ubah FC.

Yes, a good matchday for us overall. All the other teams in the relegation zone lost.

We are still bottom but the outlook is much better. Now 4 points from safety with 3 games in hand, 2 of which are at home.

Comrade Ukwala: I know that the market was good for you yesterday....So, I will pass on this one today Enjoy the moment

Enyimba close to the relegation zone

Traditionally strong teams Rangers, Enyimba and Kano Pillars not doing too well.

Rangers are on the upward trajectory having won two games consecutively (home and away) and are now 5 points from safety with 4 games in hand.

At the end of the day, all three teams should be sitting comfortably in the top half of the table.

Come on Heartland, you are only 6 points from the summit. Go on and get it.
