As the mid-season transfer window approaches, Nasarawa United Technical Director Kabiru Dogo has emphasized the urgent need for reinforcements, particularly in the attacking department. The Solid Miners, languishing at the bottom of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) table, have struggled to find the back of the net consistently this season, a problem that was evident in their recent 2-1 defeat to Enyimba in a rescheduled matchday 17 fixture in Aba.

Reflecting on the team’s current struggles, Dogo admitted the club must act decisively during the mid-season transfer window to salvage their campaign.

“We are looking forward to rejigging the team during the mid-season break,” Dogo shared with the club’s media. “We need to address our challenges, particularly in the finishing area, as we enter the last and tough stanza of the league campaign.”

The Lafia-based club has shown resilience in other areas of the pitch but remains crippled by their inability to convert chances into goals. This shortcoming has left them at the bottom of the table, with relegation fears looming larger with every matchday.

Opinion: A Make-or-Break Moment for Nasarawa United

Dogo’s appeal for new strikers is not only a call to action but also a rallying cry for the club to rethink its approach to the season. At this critical juncture, securing proven goal scorers could mean the difference between survival and relegation.

However, signing quality players in the middle of a campaign is easier said than done. Financial constraints, competition for talent, and the limited pool of available players make it a challenging endeavor. Nasarawa United’s management must act swiftly and strategically, leveraging any resources or scouting networks they have to find the right fit for the team’s needs.

While the players on the current roster deserve credit for their efforts, it’s clear that the attacking department requires immediate attention. Goals win games, and without them, even the most solid defense cannot secure points consistently.

Hope for a Turnaround

Nasarawa United’s passionate fanbase will undoubtedly be watching closely as the club navigates the transfer market. With the second stanza of the league promising to be even more competitive, there’s no time to waste.

Kabiru Dogo’s honesty and determination to address the team’s weaknesses are commendable. If the club can secure the right reinforcements and rekindle their attacking prowess, they might yet turn their season around. But the clock is ticking, and the stakes could not be higher.

The Solid Miners have a proud history and a reputation to uphold. Now is the time to show that resilience and a fighting spirit remain at the core of Nasarawa United’s identity.
