Nthaga said the way his boys handled the second half, especially late on, would have been justified by at least a draw.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said all his team needs is to keep on believing and that bringing fresh players into the team would also help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will hopefully bring more competition as players fight for positions, but with what I saw today we are not far off the mark,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Santos have only scored four goals in 14 games and conceded 36 times. They are yet to register a win inn the league, together with Chadibe FC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Botswana<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
