Shooting Stars forward Lucky Emmanuel has called on his team-mates to fight for the club’s badge as the Oluyole Warriors seek to end a difficult spell in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
The Ibadan-based side have come under increasing pressure from supporters after winning only two of their past six NPFL matches.
Shooting Stars face Barau FC on Sunday, with Emmanuel confident the fixture can provide an opportunity to change the team’s momentum and restore morale.
The forward said the squad understood the frustration among fans and was determined to address the mistakes that have contributed to their recent results.
“I want to assure the fans that the team will do everything to maintain consistent form in the NPFL,” Emmanuel said.
“The players are determined to fight for the badge and secure a positive result this weekend.”
Emmanuel’s message comes as Shooting Stars attempt to steady their campaign and produce a stronger run of performances in their upcoming fixtures.
The team’s recent results have increased scrutiny around the club, but the forward believes the players remain fully committed to improving their displays and giving supporters a response on the pitch.
A positive result against Barau FC would offer Shooting Stars a chance to ease some of the pressure surrounding the team and begin rebuilding confidence.
