    Pillars will return to winning ways – Aggrey

    Prince Aggrey is confident that four time Nigerian champions, Kano Pillars will get over its poor form on the road as from their next match.

    Pillars currently sit ninth on the log, eight points behind leaders, Rivers United but conceding eight goals on the road and scoring only one goal in their last two matches on the road has become a major worry for a club that won the NPFL trophy thrice in a row.

    Aggrey expressed concern over the poor results recorded lately but he remained optimistic that an antidote will be gotten before they head into their week 36 fixture.

    “It does happen to every team, that time results just doesn’t come your way but we aren’t bothered because we shall get over it soon,” Aggrey told Goal.

    “We are professionals and know how to find a proper solution to this kind of problem.

    “We have a sound technical crew who can handle any situation and we shall get back to winning ways soon.”

    Pillars will host El-Kanemi Warriors, before visiting Owerri to face Heartland FC and Niger Tornadoes on the final day.

    “All we need to do is to focus through the last set of matches.

    “We shall be at home to El-kanemi Warriors and we shall travel to Owerri before playing our last home match this season against Niger Tornadoes; on our day we can complete a hundred per cent win in a row but it’s still possible despite our current form,” he added.

    “We have to keep our home record excellent and at least force Heartland FC to share the spoils.

    “I think with that we should finish well.”
