Dembare scared of Tsholotsho

DYNAMOS interim coach Lloyd Mutasa says he will not underrate Castle Lager Premiership football minnows Tsholotsho when the Harare giants go out in search of maximum points at Barbourfields this afternoon to ease the pressure from their supporters.

Tsholotsho will provide a tricky test as they have proved difficult customers to the Glamour Boys since
gaining promotion last year with their two league meetings failing to produce a winner.

But Mutasa, who was given five matches by his bosses to plot the Glamour Boys' revival following an early season crisis, wants a win to appease the club's restless supporters.

The former midfielder came short in his first game in charge against FC Platinum last week and argued that he had only trained his men for two days.

"In the PSL, we no longer have easy teams because we have seen teams getting results. When Tsholotsho came here last year they got a result against Dynamos," said Mutasa.

"I would like to believe that the last two league games between Dynamos and Tsholotsho all ended in draws and it's an indication that Tsholotsho are a strong side as well.

"So we are bracing ourselves up for a tough encounter with the realisation of wanting to get a positive result that will give us a sense of belief as a family."

DeMbare's major undoing has been their strikeforce.

The Glamour Boys have scored only twice in six starts and both goals came in one match when they beat Mutare City 2-1 last month. Mutasa and his technical team have invested extra hours this week to improving their finishing.

Their options remain limited with the unavailability of injured Rodreck Mutuma and newboy Evans Gwekwerere who is still to get full fitness. The responsibility is likely to be given to rookie Kudzanayi Nyakasaka, Richard Kawondera and Farai Mupasiri who looked sharp at training.
