Simba Bhora head coach Mandla Mpofu has expressed frustration over his team's inability to convert scoring opportunities, demanding an end to their goal-scoring drought. The former champions are currently 11th in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League with nine points, having scored only two goals in seven matches, a record worse than only bottom-placed Manica Diamonds. Mpofu's side recently lost 1-0 to MWOS due to an own goal, despite creating numerous chances. He emphasized that while the team is creating opportunities, they lack the clinical edge to finish them. Despite mounting pressure and fan calls for his dismissal, Mpofu remains confident in his team's ability to redeem themselves. He also highlighted the impressive performance of teenager Cole Tsamba, who injected energy into the attack during his cameo against MWOS, and indicated that Tsamba will receive more game time. Simba Bhora's next match is a crucial Mashonaland Central derby against Agama, who are second from bottom with one point and also struggling to score, having netted only two goals in seven games.
