The major concern is chipolopolo’s very weak defense. The amount of goal we have conceded over the last 10 matches are way too high and we seem to have no other defenders or goalkeepers to change this trend. Case in point even red arrows still managed to get a goal. What good is in scoring 5 goals but still concede 10.
