“We won’t take any chances, so we have been putting in our best during the trainings to ensure that we pick the maximum points.
“We will improve on our goal scoring form before Shooting Stars Football Club comes here. It is a derby match and we know it won’t be easy for both sides, but the pressure is much on us to perform.
“Our fans are expectant and we cannot afford to let them down. On Monday we will win big for them,” he said.
NAN reports that the training on Saturday was supervised by the Coach of the team, Paul Offor and the Technical Adviser, Paul Aigbogun. (NAN)
