“The performance of my players is not bad, they played to instruction against Heart of Lions. The players were wasteful when we played the Black Galaxies but today, they took their chances against Lions and that is a good thing for us. I saw an improved team against Heart of Lions, creativity and conversion rate was good, so I’m okay” he said.
