After starting the season with just one point from six games, losing two back-to-back home games against Rangers and Nasarawa United before another away loss against Plateau United, leading to the resignation of their coach, Bright Ozebagbe, Lagos-based side, Ikorodu City have since turned the table with two wins, one draw and eight goals while conceding only three in those games.
After Monday’s 4-2 defeat of Lobi Stars at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, the Oga Boys will be looking forward to getting another point on the road against Enyimba at the Aba Township Stadium this weekend.
Speaking ahead of the game, one of the coaches of the team, Nurudeen Aweroro, said they are taking each game after another.
“We have confidence in all the players in the team and not those currently playing,” he said.
“It’s one game after the other. Same player cannot finish all the 38 matches. So we can just try and play with our players.”
