Doma United technical adviser Ayeni Ayodeji said his side’s display in their 2-0 defeat by Nasarawa United was below the standards expected of them.
The result in Sunday’s NPFL fixture extended Doma United’s difficult run away from home, with the club now having lost their past three matches on the road.
Their only away victory this campaign came in week 2, when they defeated Inter Lagos 1-0.
Ayodeji said the coaching staff would review the reasons behind the defeat and work to correct the weaknesses before Doma United’s next home match.
“There’s no big deal about it, that’s Football for you, the league is a marathon you win some, you lose some and you draw some,” he said in his post-match comments.
“But the rational behind the losing is what we the coaches would have to go and look at and work on the lapses and get prepared for our next home game so that we can keep our tempo going.”
The coach acknowledged that the overall performance had not matched the team’s usual level, although he felt the match itself was not entirely poor and praised Nasarawa United for taking their opportunities.
“The performance was below our expectations because this is not the way we’ve been playing maybe it’s due to some issues and I will address that but aside that it’s not a bad game I give it to Nasarawa United, they had a fair game today and took their chances,” Ayodeji added.
Doma United will attempt to respond when they host Kun Khalifat FC next Saturday.
