Be Forward Wanderers Supporters\u2019 Committee General Secretary, Sam Mponda, has claimed that the team\u2019s poor performance is due to lack of coordination between the fans and the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n
Mponda was reacting to the team\u2019s 1-2 loss to Nyasa Big Bullets in the Airtel Top 8 semi-final match played at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
The Lali Lubani side is also struggling in the TNM Super League as they are placed 12th on the log table, with eight points from six games.<\/p>\n
Mponda claimed that their concerns over the team\u2019s technical panel are ignored.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the team is not performing well, people who love the team wholeheartedly out there get hurt. We see football from a distance and provide suggestions to the committee. We noted recently that the technical panel had problems in their decision making.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, yesterday [Saturday] the coach insisted on using Khumbo Ng\u2019ambi as the lone striker yet it was evident that he struggled. It was too late when they brought in Zicco [Mkanda] and he scored. We told them to bring another coach on board but they just promoted Bob [Mpinganjira] and maintained the same panel. So, it is like they do not recognise us,\u201d Mponda said.<\/p>\n
However, Wanderers Chairperson, Gift Mkandawire, downplayed the issue, saying the team does not have resources to hire another coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll along, we have been working together and I am surprised with the remarks that there is no coordination. If, at all, there is no coordination as they put it, then they should ask themselves why? What is wrong with their committee that there should be no coordination? Otherwise, from what I know, we talk and advise each other accordingly,\u201d Mkandawire said.<\/p>\n
Former Nomads and Flames star, Peterkins Kayira, said the disagreements between the two parties would impact negatively on the team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe problem at Wanderers is not the technical panel; it is a psychological problem. The Executive and Supporters committees are disorganised. It is only in Malawi where supporters interfere in technical issues. The other problem is that the Executive Committee leaks whatever they discuss internally. It is also high time the Executive Committee learnt to use the team\u2019s legends. Bring the legends together to offer advice to the technical team,\u201d Kayira said.<\/p>\n
This season, the Nomads have managed two wins and two draws in the league while also losing twice.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Technical Director, Yasin Osman, on Sunday insisted that the team is going through a normal bad patch and that it would get over it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
