Coach Festus Allen insists Sharks must stop crying over spilled milk and concentrate on securing their top flight status this season.

And he maintains that he remains on course to steer Sharks out of troubled waters as the relegation battle intensifies this weekend.

Allen’s side face a crunch game against continental ticket chasing Giwa tomorrow in Jos, knowing that a loss may compound their relegation troubles but speaking in an interview, Allen says he is confident that he can guide the Blue Angels out of the drop zone after masterminding two back-to-back victories over champions Kano Pillars and FC Ifeanyi Ubah

“We are entering the final lap of the season and every team want to win their games either to survive relegation, win the title or qualify to play on the continent. It is the same for us as we have found ourselves struggling at the wrong end of the table and now we must put all hands on deck to survive this.

“But the good thing is that we have been able to win the maximum points from two difficult games. Yes they were both home games but that does not matter because if you look at it we have dropped a lot of points playing at home and even the biggest clubs have also lost points at home,” Allen told supersport.com.

“This is not the time to cry over spilled milk, rather we need to give everything in our last nine matches and make sure we save this club from getting relegated. Everyone – the players, coaches, fans and officials – are working together to achieve this. The match with Giwa will be a tough one, with the possibility of getting a good result high.”
