HWANGE goalkeeper Collin Phiri says the players are to blame for the club’s poor performance this season.
The coalminers currently occupy the last place on the table with seven points from 14 games.
Phiri feels the blame lays squarely on the players.
“When it comes to our poor results, I blame us as players. This is not about the coach or the management.
“We, as players, are to blame for our losses. We are conceding unnecessary goals.
“We are missing a lot of chances. There are more than two games that we lost due to silly mistakes.
“We have to do better as players and avoid human errors.”
He added:
“We put ourselves in this position. It is up to us as players to take our team out of the situation.
“It is not too late yet, we only need two wins and things will be different.
“We have realised our mistakes and it is something that is avoidable. We still have hope. We plan on creating more goals and avoiding conceding.
“We have to be more solid at the back.”
Hwange lost most of their senior players at the beginning of the season.
Phiri said the team need some of the experience it has lost.
“The team lost most of its senior players and that has somehow disturbed us. We were supposed to be building from last season.
“The team has more youngsters who are still regenerating. It’s good to be grooming youngsters but time is not on our side.
“The team needs some experience and seniors to rely on.”
Phiri joined Hwange at the beginning of the season.
