Justice Blay calls for Calm

After yesterday’s defeat to Karela United in Nalerigu, midfielder Justice Blay has urged the entire Porcupine family to be calm.

A second half header from Karela’s Ibrahim Giyasu from a corner shattered our chances of picking our fourth win on the road this season. A victory could have put us on the same level as the league leaders, with 35 points each.

Although the midfielder feels disappointed about the results, he has urged our teeming supporters to stay calm because he believes the management (IMC), technical team, and his teammates are capable of turning things around as they did in the first round after a sloppy start.

“Although we have disappointed our supporters by not getting the wins or the needed results in the away games as we did in the first round, that’s how football is. We all know that we had a slow start in the first round, but we were able to make amends and turn things around, and we almost went 10 games unbeaten, so it’s never too late for us.”

With our next game coming up in three days against Accra Lions, Blay has promised a quick turnaround and a positive performance.

“I will also urge our supporters to keep calm. The game against Accra Lions is our focus now; it’s a must-win game because we know points build up and our position on the league log. We will not go three games without a victory.

With perseverance, determination, and hard work, we will make our supporters proud and give them real happiness and satisfaction in subsequent games because that is what they deserve.”

Asante Kotoko will host Accra Lions in their Ghana Premier League matchday 21 fixture on Wednesday evening at the Baba Yara Stadium.
