F.C. Samartex coach Christopher Ennin has admitted that the team needs to find wins as a matter or urgency.<\/p>\n

The former Ghana Premier League champions are winless after three matches, with the latest result being a stalemate at Nations F.C.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the result, Ennin was encouraged but also honest in his assessment.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018Coming to play here and getting a draw, I think it is not a bad thing but I still need to work so that we can get the wins because three draws (mean that) we are still behind so we have to go and work and bounce back.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

On his game plan, the former Berekum Chelsea coach had no regrets about his approach.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018Definitely, it was an instruction (to keep things tight at the back. We watched a lot of their videos, even as late as last night (the night before the match) I watched them and I saw their strengths so I decided to focus on the strengths and capitalize on their weaknesses.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s result was preceded by similar draws; goalless against ten-man Vision F.C. on the opening weekend of the season, and 1-1 at home to Karela United.<\/p>\n

Ennin was hired in December last year, following the exit of Nurudeen Amadu. <\/p>\n

In twenty Premier League matches last season, Ennin guided Samartex to 34 points, ending the season with 51 points in total and in fifth place.<\/p>\n

The Timber Boys will face former champions Aduana Stars on Sunday, at the Nsenkyire Sports Complex in their next league match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
