‘No Hiding Place For Taraba’

Giwa FC captain and central midfielder, Charles Henlong has said there will not be any hiding place for FC Taraba in Sunday’s league clash.

The Tin City side will host the Jalingo-based side in Glo Premier League match day 9 encounter at the Rwang Pam Stadium in Jos.

Henlong said after the Federation Cup round of 64 shocking exit in the hands of Kukuruku Dragons FC his side must restore confidence in their teeming supporters with a convincing win against FC Taraba.

“We’ve learnt the bitter way not to underrate any side that was our greatest undoing in the shocking defeat to Kukuruku Dragons FC in the Federation Cup round of 64 tie.

“We’ll never allow a repeat occurrence in future no matter the opposition as well as competition.

“Right now we’re paying 100% concentration on the league to get something substantial for ourselves.

“We must start winning matches again to restore confidence among our supporters after the Federation Cup loss to Kukuruku.

“And the take off point is the league clash against FC Taraba on our home ground in Jos on Sunday.

“The encounter is a must win game as we need the points to chance climbing back to the top of the log.

“Our dream is to remain in the top three brackets at every point in time while we continue the push to earn a ticket to Africa.

“Our chairman was disappointed over our defeat in the Federation Cup to relatively unknown side so we must give him something to cheer by winning big against Taraba.

“Taraba will come hard to challenge for decent result after a hard fought 3-3 home draw against Gabros last weekend but we won’t allow the luxury as we need the points more than the visitors,” said the Super Eagles playmaker to supersport.com.

The Jos-based side are second on the league log on 15 points one point adrift leaders, Sunshine Stars in the eight-week old Nigerian top flight.
