SImba Sports Club’s head coach, Fadlu Davids, has voiced concerns over his team’s recent away game performances, particularly the difficulties they encounter on challenging pitches that disrupt their preferred style of play.

After narrowly clinching a 1-0 win against Mashujaa FC on Friday, Davids is exploring new tactical adaptations to help Simba maintain their form in challenging away matches.

In their recent match at Lake Tanganyika Stadium, Simba struggled against Mashujaa FC, needing a stoppage-time goal to secure the victory. Davids noted that uneven and difficult playing surfaces have impacted the team’s ground-passing game, which relies on quick, fluid movements.

Recognizing the importance of overcoming these conditions, Davids is preparing alternative approaches to ensure that Simba can achieve positive results on less ideal pitches.

“These away matches are tough, and we have to adapt our techniques to suit the conditions we face,” Davids remarked.as quoted by the Guardian.

“Despite these challenges, I’m pleased with how every player steps up to fulfill their roles, no matter the circumstances.”

Simba’s recent away record has been marked by a series of close victories, often by slim margins. Out of four away matches, the club has managed three narrow 1-0 wins against Dodoma Jiji at Jamhuri Stadium, Tanzania Prisons at Sokoine Stadium, and Mashujaa FC at Lake Tanganyika Stadium.
