Former Asante Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu believes it is wrong to attribute the current struggles of the club to Prosper Narteh Ogum, the current manager of the team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kotoko has only one point from its last six Ghana Premier League matches, having won a single game in all eighth of their second-round fixtures of the competition.<\/p>\n

Their latest setback was inflicted by Nsoatreman on Thursday night at the Baba Yara Stadium. The Nsoatre-based club now headed by Konadu stunned the Porcupine Warriors once more picking maximum points with a 2-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Pressure intensified on both the technical team and the playing body as fans hooted at them and demanded the dismissal of coach Prosper Ogum.<\/p>\n

However, Maxwell Konadu, reacting to this after the game, believes it is not the right decision at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe it is a coaching issue; when the players play, it is clear that they are afraid.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe demands placed on the players appear to put them under additional strain; they lack the character required to play as a Kotoko player, which I believe is their issue.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maxwell continued, saying that in order to prevent things from getting out of control, the players now need the support of the spectators.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the critical moment for the players to have the support of the media and fans. Much pressure from these stakeholders will not help matters; instead, fans should support the technical team and playing body in order to turn things around.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe players are not bad; none of them will be a benchwarmer at any GPL club, but they appear to panic when playing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maxwell Konadu concluded by strongly believing that Kotoko\u2019s players are not all that bad and can play for any GPL team.<\/p>\n

In their next GPL match, Kotoko will pay a trip to Dawu to take on Dreams FC.<\/p>\n
