The former AFC Leopards player and coach has berated his side’s inability to concentrate well for their last-minute loss to Ulinzi Stars.
Ulinzi Stars head coach Anthony ‘Modo’ Kimani has castigated his side for their tendency to have concentration lapses following their last-minute 1-0 loss to Kakamega Homeboyz on Sunday.
Oscar Paul came off the bench to give Homeboyz all the three points in the dying seconds of the match, which now leaves the Soldiers lying perilously close to the relegation places.
Speaking after the match, Kimani admitted that, although he felt both sides dealt well and that he had done his homework at working on defending set pieces against the Abana Beingo, concentration lapses effectively threw their preparations for the game out of the window.

FOOTBALL Gor Mahia and Posta Rangers jostling up top but a lot to worry about for AFC Leopards and Shabana
Posta Rangers and Gor Mahia may have returned to winning ways but they will need to be mindful of the chasing pack while AFC Leopards and Shabana continue to grope in the dark
“I think both teams played well. We had good chances to score. We knew that one of the places where they might have given us a hard time was through those dead ball situations,” Kimani said.
“I think up until the closing stages, we had managed to inhibit them from being effective in our initial third but in the last minutes, we got too lazy and gave them a chance to get the winning goal.
“Our defenders did not concentrate well and we were made to pay dearly for that.”

FKFPL Oscar Paul the hero as Kakamega Homeboyz dramatically disarm Ulinzi Stars
Oscar Paul's goal in the dying minutes of the match was enough to give Kakamega Homeboyz all the three points at Ulinzi Stars' expense.
Ulinzi Stars have now won four games, drawn one and lost the other seven. Quizzes about whether he was worried that the side’s inconsistent form, Kimani said:
“I cannot say it is because they are still adapting to my methods. We have been together for quite a long time. I think the problem has been concentration lapses which come in the closing stages but the boys are soaking in instructions well.
“They are putting a shift in. It is just a matter of lifting them, that they should not give in easily because a lack of good results leads to a sense of doubt in the squad.
