Pius Baffour explains reasons behind King Faisal’s struggles this season

King Faisal defender Pius Baffour Awuah has opened up on the club’s recently woes in the Ghana Premier League this season.

The Insha Allah boys who had a flying start to the campaign are currently struggling.

They have gone ten games without a win in the ongoing season – eight defeats and two draws.

The Kumasi-based side are currently 16th on the league table with 31 points with 10 points separating them from bottom placed Elmina Sharks FC and four points ahead of 17th placed WAFA.

Speaking to Agyenkwa FM in Kumasi, Pius Baffour believes poor decisions by referees who handle their games and injuries to some key players in their squad has accounted to the struggles in the second round of the campaign.

“We started very well this season comparing to last season, we we’re at a very good position on the league table in the first round but it’s unfortunate things are not working well in the second round, I believe we shall strongly bounce back effectively”

“Referees decisions and injuries at camp is the major cause of our woes, in fact, referees has caused us more than any other factor”

“In most of our games, you could clearly see the referees has the results in their pocket and always makes sure King Faisal suffer defeat no matter how best we will play on the the day, just look at our last game against Techiman Eleven Wonders”

“Yes goals scoring became a problem for the team because we lost our two best forwards, Mawuli Wayo was injured and was sidelined for some weeks”

“Mawuli is the main man in our set up, he contributes about 80% to our goals scoring and our team leading scorer also left for national duties”

“King Faisal won’t be relegated, we shall fight till our last breath to make sure we stay in the league and we can do that if referees officiate our games fairly”

King Faisal will face Eleven Wonders in week 29 of the Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Stadium next weekend.
