A catalogue of self-inflicted glitches have their fans worried and the club is now one of the favourites to get relegated from the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.The Slaughters have lacked goals, coaching consistency and playing style this season and currently find themselves sitting three points deep in the relegation zone in 14th spot.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran striker Robert Ssentongo, admits they are in a ditch at the moment but remains hopeful that the pursuit for survival is on &#8211; starting today against Mbarara City at Nakisunga.\u201cThe coaching changes and recruitment affected us right from the start but we believe we can win our two home games (against Mbarara city and Onduparaka) and then play for draws against Bright Stars and Vipers,\u201d he told Daily Monitor.<\/p>\n<p>Kyetume, on 23 points, are three points adrift of Busoga United, another faltering side yet to secure safety. \u201cBusoga United and Onduparaka are still within reach and have tricky fixtures ahead. We are aware of that too,\u201d added the former SC Villa, KCCA and URA net banger.Busoga United still has to play URA, SC Villa, Mbarara City and Bright Stars while Onduparaka, five points better than Kyetume, face Vipers, Police, Kyetume and UPDF.<\/p>\n<p><b>Worrying goal drought<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The internal suspensions of star players Joel Mutakubwa and Benon Tahomera aside, Kyetume has grappled with a goal scoring burden that have seen them net a paltry 27 goals and conceded 44 in 26 matches.Ssentongo, thrice the Uganda Premier league top scorer, has endured an indifferent season that has seen him net just one goal in as many games. With seven goals, Yusuf Ssaka is the club\u2019s leading top scorer this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not played many games this season but my poor scoring form may be down to the unending changes in the starting team.
