Murang'a Seal have seen their early season momentum fade away following two straight losses but coach Gabriel Njoroge sees no cause for alarm
Murang’a Seal head coach Gabriel Njoroge has told the club's fans not to panic after going three games without a win which has lost the newly-promoted side’s grip in the race for the title.
Seal drew against Gor Mahia and then lost games on the bounce against KCB and Kenya Police, which has left them sixth in the table on 21 points..
Njoroge has, however, insisted that he has nothing to panic about.
“Nothing to panic about, it is part of football,” Njoroge said. “You have to understand football, there is loss, win and draw,” he added.
