PSL: Ndah Injury Unsettled Us - Pirate Coach
Sampson Adedeji
Manager of the South Africa Premier League club Orlando Pirate, Fadlu Davids, has said injury sustained by Nigeria's Super Eagles defender, Olisah Ndah hurts his team, BSNsports.com.ng can report.
Davids highlighted that the turning point for them was an injury to centre-back Olisa Ndah on the stroke of half-time but he also questioned his players' defending after his departure.
"It was a very good first half from our team, the injury to Ndah unsettled us slightly but normally we're very good on set-pieces, defending set-pieces and the two set-pieces is what determined the game you know.
"Within ahe first five minutes conceding the first and seven minutes later conceding the second and that changed the game completely.
"The complexion of the game where we were on top in the first-half and those two goals unsettled us, which we could not recover from.
"With the fantastic first-half we had it was just about consolidating, yes the injury in the last moment of our half-time team talk where Ndah couldn't continue with a knee injury.
"But that doesn't take away why we couldn't defend the set-piece, we didn't concede this season off a set-piece at all, so we were stingy in that department and to concede the two goals is what changed the game," he said.
It's yet to ascertain if Ndah will be fit enough to face Marumo Gallants on Monday.
