NPFL: Rangers coach blames bad pitch for poor home form

After seeing his team go down for the second time this season in a home game, Rangers coach Abdul Maikaba has lamented that the bad pitch in Nnewi is affecting their game style.

Rangers had have to play their home games at the Ifeanyi Ubah stadium Nnewi due to an ongoing renovations at their home ground, the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium.

Rangers lost their second home game to Plateau United on match day 10 as the Peace Boys went home with a 1-0 victory.

Giving his assessment on the game, Abdul Maikaba said “we need a better pitch to play.”

“The poor state of the pitch is affecting our pattern and rhythm.”

The Flying Antelopes have now lost to Enyimba and Plateau United at home despite having not lost a game away from home this season.
