Head coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko, David Duncan hopes Friday night’s victory over Hasaacas would be the end of their poor run in the league.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko ended their fruitless start to the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season against Hasaacas on Friday — beating the Takoradi-based club 1-0.
There was enormous pressure on the team to produce results having played so well in pre-season. David Duncan admits they thought they were on the right track until Injuries curtailed their plans.
“We thought that we were about to roll and over sudden we suffered this kind of setbacks and we had to build completely again,” the former Hearts of Oak boss told super sports after the game.
“Because five days to the game we started suffering injuries and even in the opening match against WAFA, we suffered another setback with a couple of players suffering all kinds of injuries.
“We had to restart all over again and I think that took a toll on us to record such results,” he noted.
After Kotoko’s 2-0 against Berekum Chelsea, Duncan said two points in four matches was not the worst start in the history of the Porcupine Warriors.
He alleged last season under Masa-ud Didi Dramani was worst. He reiterated the results recorded since the start of the season were not as poor as it is been reported.
“It was not bad results per se but judging by Kotoko’s high standards, you consider that to be poor.
“It is early days yet, but I’m most happy that we won this one (against Hasaacas). Maybe the corner has been turned and we see what happens in subsequent games,” he said.
