Barau FC Head Coach Ladan Bosso has defended the team’s slow start to the 2025-26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The Maliya Boys have recorded two wins, two draws and five defeats in their maiden campaign in the NPFL.
The currently occupy 18th position on the NPFL table with eight points.
Bosso is adamant that the Maliya Boys will improve more on their performance in upcoming games.
“We are working with players that are just coming up, we retained almost all the players that secured promotion for Barau FC and they will need time to blend with the rigorous nature of the NPFL,” Bosso told Barau FC’s media.
“Like my experience with Bayelsa United we were also slow with our start but when we get it right we moved further up on the log. The quality of players here better than the once at Bayelsa United.”
Barau FC will face Wikki Tourists in a matchday 11 fixture this weekend.
