Kano Pillars have made clear that last weekend's 4-1 loss away to Bayelsa United will not derail their ambitions for the remainder of the NPFL season. The club says the squad has returned to training with a sharper mindset and is already looking forward to what lies ahead.
The defeat in Yenagoa on Matchday 32 ended a three-match unbeaten run for Sai Masu Gida — a spell that had included back-to-back home wins over Barau FC and Enyimba. Conceding four times in a single game is a setback no one at the club will be pleased about, but the response has apparently been swift.
"The team returned to training with renewed determination, putting the disappointment of the weekend's result behind us as we intensify preparations for the upcoming fixtures," the club stated on their official social media channels.
"Our focus remains clear: positive performances and positive results in the matches ahead," the statement added.
The immediate opportunity to bounce back comes this Sunday, when Bendel Insurance visit Kano for the Matchday 33 fixture. Playing at home has been a real strength for Pillars this season, and their fans will be expecting the team to put on a performance that reflects the club's stated resolve.
