Omondi, since the opening of the mid-season transfer window, has reinforced his team with three new signings, and believes that piece of business will be enough for Posta to complete their vision till the end of the season.

The former assistant coach was speaking shortly after the Mailmen stumbled to a 1-0 defeat to KCB at Kasarani Annex on Tuesday, 20 January, a result that extended Posta’s winless run to five games.

The fixture, which was settled by an early strike from Francis Kahata, saw Omondi’s Posta dominate play, but ended up spurning numerous opportunities in front of goal.

Young forward Trevor Omondi missed a penalty in the first half, while KCB were fortunate that the post and Elvis Ochoro’s efforts were enough in seizing a win in the second period.

To illustrate their struggles in front of goal, Posta's latest blank was their fourth in the last five games, and with only one goal scored in that period.

Asked about needing further reinforcements to sharpen his attack, Omondi opted to trust the men at his disposal, saying: “We are not going into the market. We will work with the players available. We have to work with those [players] we have to make sure we complete our vision for the second leg.”

Among the players the club spent on in the mid-season were veteran midfielder Jackson Macharia and the on-loan pair of Reagan Ogolla and Veron Ombima, who all came in after the exits of Jackson Dwang and Brian Otieno.

Reflecting on the loss to KCB, Omondi added: “The main problem has been scoring. We played well, created more than five chances, but we didn’t score. I need my players to show more calmness, and utilize their chances.”

He will hope his players available heed to the call in their next match against Mathare United at Kasarani Annex on Saturday, 24 January.
