Mbwas Mangut, technical adviser for Plateau United, claims that his team’s performance has significantly improved after their victory over Akwa United on matchday 34.
At the New Jos Stadium on Sunday, the Peace Boys triumphed 1-0 over Akwa United.
After their dismal start to the season, Mbwas acknowledged that his team’s season has been challenging.
He said the players need to be commended for a shift in mentality which has helped their performance.
“This team is improving, this season has been so complicated and the players have been running into so many games which could be a factor affecting their performance,” Mbwas told the club’s media.
“The points deduction, playing at home with lack of full support from the fans all this also affected the boys.
“It takes a lot of courage for a player to stand firm and express himself. It happens in great teams. In a few years you will be surprised to see the same players doing what Plateau United are doing now.
The boys were also impacted by the points deduction and playing at home without the full support of the supporters.
“A player must have a great deal of courage to speak up and defend his ground. It takes place in outstanding teams. You’ll be shocked to see the same guys accomplishing what Plateau United is doing right now in a few years.
“We went five games without a loss at one point, which improved our league table position in NM. The fans now expect us to improve even more.”
