Christopher Danjuma, the technical lead of the Nasarawa Amazons, has lauded his squad’s psychological fortitude following their high-scoring triumph over FC Robo Queens. In a thrilling encounter at the Lafia City Stadium this past Wednesday, the Amazons secured a commanding 4-2 victory, effectively washing away the disappointment of their previous outing. This vital win ensures that the Lafia-based side concludes the initial phase of the campaign in a respectable third place within the Group B standings, having amassed 18 points from their first nine fixtures.
The victory marks a significant bounce-back for the team, which had recently suffered a setback on the road. Danjuma highlighted the visible shift in the players’ mentality, noting that the grit displayed in Lafia was a necessary response to their recent struggles away from home. As the league enters a brief hiatus before the resumption of play, the coaching staff is already mapping out a strategy to narrow the gap at the top of the table and refine the team’s tactical execution.
“I feel happy that we picked the three points. It’s crucial for us at this stage. The girls showed determination, unlike our last match in Akure where we lost. We are battle-ready for the second stanza next month. I believe we will improve and put smiles on the faces of our fans and the state at large.”
With the second half of the season scheduled to kick off next month, the Amazons are positioning themselves as serious contenders for the title playoffs. Danjuma expressed unwavering confidence in the roster’s potential for growth, promising a more refined and consistent version of the team when they return to competitive action. The interim period will reportedly be used for intensive conditioning and tactical drills aimed at ensuring the squad remains “battle-ready” for the grueling schedule ahead.
The manager’s optimistic outlook is shared by the local supporters, who witnessed one of the team’s most offensive-minded displays of the season on Wednesday. As the Amazons prepare for the upcoming “second stanza,” the focus remains on maintaining their home dominance while improving their efficiency during away trips. For Danjuma, the objective is clear: to maintain their upward trajectory and deliver a trophy-winning performance that honors the support of the state and their loyal fanbase.
