At an earlier time this season on this
column we asked you whether Jomo Cosmos was going to survive relegation end of
the season. We are toward the end of the
season and the answer seems to be evident. Jomo Sono needs to change the manner
in which he does things if he wants to remain in the premier soccer league.
Currently the team is at the bottom of the log they need a miracle to survive Cosmos have been playing notable football
but failed, however they did not make the grade to maintain their standard
particularly if Ezenkosi scored first.
In a game against Ajax Cape town, Cosmos was leading by a goal and everyone
thought they were going to bring home three points but Ajax equalized and
scored another goal inviting more troubles for the Cosmos. They also showed
character against Orlando Pirates but lost concentration on the dying minutes
of the game. After that game Jomo Sono was the only person who remained adamant
that his side will disappoint many when they avoid to be sent to go and dance
on the bushes. In spite of this the players were so disappointed and frustrated
with their latest results as they keep on conceding on the fading minutes of
the game.
In all teams when results are not
convincing, all finger and toes point at the coach. In this case who do you point?
Yes its bra J he is the coach he must be fired. He had great moments as a
player. During his days he scored crucial goals for Pirates even on his wedding
day. It’s a moment that is still clear in the minds of those who witnessed this
match. He became a coach and developed remarkable talent. He recruited players
like Philemon Masinga, Helman Mkhelele, Sizwe Motaung and Mark Fish. He went on
his career as the coach of Bafana Bafana at the Africa cup of nation tournament
in Burkina Faso in 1998.
Jomo Sono’s history is very rich, nonetheless
that will not save his team from relegation. He is a legend but he needs to
fire himself and recruit someone with fresh but not dull ideas. He has made too
much trips to the national first division, he must be tired. The guys he played
with like Kaizer Motaung are watching from the stands why can’t he do the same?
If miracles or Muthi work in the field of
play need double Muthi and double miracles or he has the whole next season
waiting for him to dance on the mud. The veteran goalkeeper Avril Phadi was
quoted in the media saying they trust the almighty to save their sinking Ship.
All eyes are on them will they survive? That’s the question their play on the
ground will have to accommodate for…
