Attitude change the catalyst to our newfound momentum - Queens’ manager Muganga

Thika Queens believe they are on the right trajectory after they picked an emphatic win at the weekend thumping Gaspo Ladies 5-1 in a women’s premier league.

Their win at the weekend, which ended Gaspo’s unbeaten run, was impressive, and their team manager Glenson Muganga holds the view that the rout was a culmination of “a well-choreographed tactical and attitude investment on the ladies that is slowly yielding fruits”.

To Muganga, the ladies have finally realized they are in the champions’ bracket and winning all their games was possible if they played each game as a unit.

This, he says, has been realized in their recent two matches where they beat reigning champions and current league leaders Vihiga Queens at home two weeks ago and their last week raid of Cambridge, that saw them halt Gaspo’s unbeaten run.

“We are finally in that bracket where we can say that we are title contenders and it is a good feeling considering how we began the season,” he said. “We have slowly picked up the pieces and the team is giving results after an attitude change which is working well for us.”

On their performance last Sunday, Muganga says that scoring early goals was a tactic which worked to their advantage as it scared off their opponents, giving them the advantage to control the match for the entire 90 minutes.

“Our experience playing with them in the previous games gave us an upper hand in preparations,” he said. “We prepared better and vigorously to face them. We were sure that if we scored early goals and controlled the game we would be able to hold them and it surely worked for us,” he comncluded.

Queens welcome frail-looking Kangemi Ladies to Thika this weekend in a game Muganga insists will be treated just like any other big games they have played this season.
