Pamzo has found the going difficult since joining the fabled former giants.
Shabana head coach Sammy Omollo ‘Pamzo’ has blamed the club’s recent dismal results on difficult couple of fixtures that have had a toll on his team.
The Glamour Boyz lost 1-0 to Kenya Police despite subjecting them to pressure for much of the second half, leaving Pamzo collecting just one win from five games managed.
Shabana have faced high flying City Stars, Police, Tusker, Ulinzi Stars and Nzoia Sugar during that time, with Nzoia the only match in which he managed to get all the three points while beating them 5-2 in his first game in charge.
Pamzo believes that his side have not been that lucky, but is optimistic more favorable fixtures will help turn their form around.

FKFPL Kenya Police inflict more misery on Shabana with narrow win
David Okoth's 10th minute strike was enough to hand Kenya Police a fifth win in six matches under Salim Babu's reign at Shabana's expense.
“Since I came into the team, the fixtures have been super difficult because look at it, I have played Police, Tusker and City Stars, and the only match that was kind of favorable was the Nzoia one which we won,” Pamzo said.
“But we are not going to cry. We will keep working hard and eventually, the rewards will be gained,” Pamzo said.
Pamzo was generally pleased with what he saw from the performance of his boys considering they had a couple of chances, particularly in the second half to equalise, with Brian Michira missing arguably the biggest one of the game.
“We have lost three points but generally, the boys played well and in the last four minutes, we had a chance we did not capitalize on.
“I was pleased with how we played particularly in the second half as we did not give Police breathing space, but you could tell there was a difference and gulf in experience levels which worked to Police’s advantage.”
Pamzo has castigated his defence for the manner in which they allowed David Okoth time and space to score the only goal of the match in the 10th minute.
“We should have done better with that goal we conceded. We left David Okoth too much time and space to shoot. It is these small mistakes that we have to try and avoid and I am trying to prevent them.”
Shabana are 17th place having collected just 22 points all season, but still have enough time to steer away from the relegation places. However, they have an uphil task as they will be facing Bandari, Posta Rangers and KCB in their next three fixtures and have work to do to get enough points that will guarantee them safety.
