Hearts In Relegation Zone?

The debate on the performance of one of Ghana’s most glamorous club Accra Hearts of Oak this season has been far from worse ending the 15 matches of the first round of the Glo Premiership with 15 points and 14th on the league.

Alhaji Grusah's King Faisal denied Hearts a win at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in the last round of matches extending Hearts campaign to three wins, six losses and six draws of the first round of the Glo premiership.

Having not won the last seven matches with the new code '1415' for the team base on the recent terrible performance has been a shame for the Phobian fraternity likewise football fellows in the country.

In the course of the first round, ex-coach C.K Akunnor was made to vacate his position for the former Ashantigold handler, Coach David Duncan. Coach David Duncan and his lads have not lift up to the expectations of the supporters.

For all we know some football connoisseurs find it cumbersome to indicate factors responsible for the diminish returns of Hearts of Oak this season.

Could the above analogy be attributed to the unexceptional quality of players, disunity among members or be it spiritual confrontations?

I know football has come of age to be unpredictable in the full glare of impossibilities becoming possible.

About two years ago, River Plate, a team after 110 years in the Argentina topflight league suffered the same faith and got relegated.

Similarly, RTU, Olympics and King Faisal cannot be left out from this scenario. I believe to everything there is a season but one need to position itself well for the season to locate it.

Now that the first round is over, Hearts must visit their drawing board and rectify all mistakes before the second leg kick start immediately after 2013 AFCON in South Africa.

There should be unity among the old and new members so that they all could solve this menace bedeviling the Phobians.

For the team to bounce back to its former glory, the onus hugely is upon the technical team likewise the players. Any player chosen to do the battle for team must embark on that mission with all their might and skill to expunge Hearts for relegation zone as history beckons them.

If prudent measures are not drafted and implemented, Hearts could kiss bye-bye to the topflight after the second round and not even their motto; never say die until the Oak tree is uprooted and bones rotten could save them.
