Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 35576, member: 636"] Fans wonder if Scottland coach Tonderai Ndiraya faces trouble after seven games with the league newcomers. Some question his abilities despite Scottland having 12 points, just five behind surprise leaders MWOS. Critics might not realize this mirrors his past success at Simba Bhora last season, when he collected 13 points at this stage before winning the championship. Scottland has only lost once compared to Simba Bhora's two defeats during the same period last year. Ndiraya asks for patience ahead of their match against ZPC Kariba at Nyamhunga. He calls the season a marathon with 27 games left to play. The coach expects many changes at the top between now and around Week 17. Scottland recently drew 1-1 with four-time champions FC Platinum after another draw against Yadah, both games played at Rufaro Stadium. These results followed a strong 3-0 win over Bikita Minerals in Mbare. The coach believes his star-studded team needs time to connect on the field. He predicts Scottland will hit their stride after Week 10, exactly when Simba Bhora began their title run last season. Team owner Pedzai Sakupwanya invested heavily to bring top talent to Scottland. The roster features six Soccer Star of the Year finalists - Walter Musona, Khama Billiat, Tymon Machope, Kingsley Mureremba, Godknows Murwira, and Golden Boot winner Lynoth Chikuhwa. Their squad also includes experienced players Frederick Ansa Botchway from Ghana, Tichaona Chipunza, Peter Muduhwa, and Kelvin Moyo. Ndiraya won the Chibuku Super Cup in 2016 before coaching Dynamos and later Simba Bhora. At age 47, he brings championship experience to Scottland as they build toward becoming a dominant force in Zimbabwean football. [/QUOTE]
