Chigowe pins hopes on Chinyama

Chigowe’s men find themselves sitting in 14th place, just a point above the relegation slots and have the same number of points, eight, as Caps United and Yadah in 15th and 16th places, respectively

DYNAMOS coach Lloyd Chigowe believes new strikers coach Takesure Chinyama will have instant impact which should see the club end a six-match winless streak when they travel to Chiredzi for a date with Triangle United at Gibbo Stadium tomorrow.

The Glamour Boys have scored just two goals in the league so far, the worst goal scoring record in the division so far.

Of interest is the fact that Dynamos have gone for six matches, translating to more than nine hours of football without scoring a goal since their 1-0 win over Simba Bhora on March 30.

Chigowe’s men find themselves sitting in 14th place, just a point above the relegation slots and have the same number of points, eight, as Caps United and Yadah in 15th and 16th places, respectively.

However, their opponents tomorrow are also struggling as they anchor the standings with just five points.

“Chinyama, our striker coach, is a natural finisher with experience at the highest level. The players are responding well to his training programmes, and his expertise is a valuable addition to our technical team,” Chigowe said.

“To be honest, the team was going through a tough period, but the mood is now competitive and encouraging.

“The players are determined to break the jinx against our upcoming opponent. They’re motivated to prove themselves and we believe we can pull ourselves out of this rut.”

He added: “As a coach, my job is to solve football problems. We’ve added a qualified striker coach to help address our goal-scoring issues. We believe this will add value and quality to our team’s performance.

“We’ve been competitive in most games, conceding at least once per match. However, we need to regain our confidence to win games. Most opponents end up defending desperately and the 2025 PSL [Premier Soccer League] season has been characterised by tight matches with one goal deciding the outcomes.

“Unfortunately, when we concede, we often fail to get the equaliser. This isn’t a new problem. We’ve faced it before, including in the Chibuku Super Cup and Castle Challenge Cup. We need to address this issue, possibly during the winter transfer window.”

While they have been struggling for goals, Dynamos boast the sixth best defence after leaking just five goals in the league so far.

Newcomers MWOS FC have the most frugal defence, having conceded just two in the 10 matches played for far.
