BREAKING: Aldrine Kibet, Amos Wanjala Headline Final Kenya U-20 AFCON Squad
Kenya U20 squad set for AFCON in Egypt after Morocco camp aiming for World Cup spot with strong local lineup.
He explained that in particular, the trio of Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen, Kyle Benedictus, and Tommy Fogarty impressed him the most too, aside from Chris Kane.
“I need more to chip in goals, not just Chris, goals from the midfield, great to have Wanyama back on the pitch for five or 10 minutes and he looked good. It all goes well for the next three games,” Neil Lennon said.
“I’m delighted, you know as a manager you want clean sheets as well especially if we’re not free scoring as we haven’t been this year.
“So my back three have been outstanding since I’ve come here, apart from the first game since I came. The last three games have been superb, so reliable, Mullen, Benedictus, and Fogarty have been very consistent.”
Dunfermline Athletic face Partick Thistle FC next, who are fourth in the Scottish Championship table on Saturday, April 19. They will then clash with Airdrieonians and Greenock Morton.
With survival hanging in the balance, Neil Lennon is banking on the brilliance of Chris Kane, the return of Victor Wanyama, and a solid backline to fuel Dunfermline’s final push to safety in their last three battles of the season.
