Africa-Press – Kenya. Quins assistant coach Patrice Agunda believes the side will have to improve their attack once the Kenya Cup resumes this weekend.
The Ngong Road outfit have won three matches and lost once but the former skipper, who is serving his first year in coaching, believes they have to sharpen the attack if they are to feature in the playoffs at the end of the season.
“Our attack needs work. We resume training this week and we must look at getting the ball quickly from the ruck and other setpiece platforms to catch defences off-guard.
Agunda termed the 23-12 loss to Homeboyz a wake-up call for his charges.
“It was a tough game. The league is quite competitive and you can’t underestimate any teams. We did not execute well in both facets of play and we must step up going forward,” he added.
The club currently sit fourth on the log with 13 points and the assistant coach is confident his charges can qualify for the playoffs.
“Last season, we missed the playoffs by a whisker so we are very determined to be there this time and the good start to the season helps us,” added Agunda
The eight-time champions recently appointed Senegalese tactician Amadi Diallo and Agunda has hailed his impact on the club.
“He has really brought an identity to the club and tweaked some of our facets of play. He is good at management and is happy with the team,” noted Agunda.
Quins beat neighbours Impala 29-20, Nondies 24-6, and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology 21-20.
