Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>After six rounds of play in the Futsal Super League, Talent Bridge, one of three debutants this season, are bottom of the table with a -14 goal difference.<\/p>\n

Yet the team that boasts of talented players is coached by Meddie Ssenfuma, a man with league and the Uganda Cup winners medal to his belt.<\/p>\n

Now without a win in six games, Ssenfuma said he was getting frustrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really tough to even watch because things are not working our way,\u201d he said after his team swallowed 13 goals in two games on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Talent Bridge lost 7-4 to thumping boys Aidenal before another 6-0 loss to KJT.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is frustrating because I am a winning coach. I have won this league once and the Uganda Cup too with Kabowa Dream Team. Being in this position sucks. We need to have good players. Every good coach must have good players to implement the game plan,\u201d Ssenfuma said.<\/p>\n

He talked of the team falling short of the game dynamics including being fully fit and making quick decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am working to improve our strikers because we are too wasteful yet in defence our reaction is poor and the goalkeeping is still poor,\u201d Ssenfuma said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were ill prepared in getting the right players but I\u2019m trying to do my best to pass my energy to everybody who goes on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

No thunder in Luzira<\/b><\/p>\n

Fellow debutants Luzira Thunders are also meekly learning the dynamics.<\/p>\n

Head coach Maxwell Okello, also a midfielder for Maroons, says it is up to him to build a strong squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take responsibility. I must push them to perform better. I am not under pressure but I need to improve the players. Overall I am impressed with the player\u2019s work rate so far. It is a process but we shall get there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Luzira is sixth on the eight-team log with four points.<\/p>\n

Aidenal leads the table with 16 points with defending champions Park breathing heavily on their shoulders two points behind. Alex Segawa, the head coach of Park, says the best is yet to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not what we want but we are getting there. We\u2019re still work in progress. We are winning because we are putting in work by the time we get to the climax of the league you will see what it means to play Park FC,\u201d Segawa said, stressing the need to work on the conversion rate.<\/p>\n
