FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach, Peter Mponda, has urged the team’s supporters to remain patient, insisting that the club is on the right track despite recent frustrations.
His remarks follow growing criticism after last week’s 3-3 draw against Karonga United a result that reportedly angered some fans to the point of vandalizing the team’s bus as a show of displeasure.
Mponda defended his players, noting that the current squad is still in a rebuilding phase following the departure of several key players from last season.
He expressed satisfaction with the team’s progress so far, stressing that supporters should look at the bigger picture rather than focus on isolated results.
“Last season, at this stage, the team had only collected 23 points. This time around, we have 34 points, so I don’t see any reason for alarm. We have made significant progress, and I honestly don’t know where all this panic is coming from,” Mponda said.
The coach further reminded fans that building a competitive team takes time, especially when integrating new players into the system.
He also praised the squad’s fighting spirit and commitment, saying they are adapting well to his style of play.
Mponda’s comments are seen as a call for unity among the club’s stakeholders as Bullets aim to maintain their title challenge in the remaining matches of the season.
