Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Niger Tornadoes forward, David Okoromi has begged for fans\u2019 understanding and patience in the wake of the team\u2019s poor run.<\/p>\n

The Ikon Allah Boys are winless in their last six Nigeria Premier Football League games.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s 1-1 home draw against Bayelsa United was the latest in the series of the disappointing result experienced by the team.<\/p>\n

Okoromi, however, believes they will turn things around with time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result against Bayelsa United wasn\u2019t what we bargained, but sometimes, football happens,\u201d Okoromi said after the team\u2019s training session on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team\u2019s spirit was high before the mid-week game, it\u2019s just that we needed a little bit of luck to get the job done, but unfortunately, luck deserted us.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur situation is not irredeemable, because the league is a marathon and points differences are close, we will keep pushing and keep improving until results starts coming our way,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Niger Tornadoes will trade tackles with Dakkada at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Sunday.<\/p>\n
