One too many draws for Arrows
SUNDAY’S Absa Premiership 0-0 result against Chippa United was just one too many draws for Golden Arrows, disappointed coach Clinton Larsen said.
Arrows have had 10 draws in 18 games this season.
“It is good to have a point on the road, but I still feel like this is one draw too many for us,” Larsen said.
“This is our 10th draw this season and this was a valuable away point nonetheless.
“In that poor run we had before we won against SuperSport United, there were also valuable away draws that have been keeping us afloat.
“It is these points against teams like this [Chippa United] that ease the pressure when you win one or two in a row and allow us to leap up the table.
“Basically, we will take the draw and be happy with it.
“We definitely thought we would score against them in the second half
“We looked even better in the last 15 minutes where we controlled the game for long periods, but we could not finish in the end.
“There was just no end result from both teams. They were both disappointing in the final third.
“It was a tightly fought match and we will take this point and look forward to our next game,” he said.
Heavy winds might have affected Arrows’ game as they could not find their rhythm in the first stanza.
“It was a bit difficult for us in the beginning but we adjusted after a while,” Larsen said.
“It was extremely challenging with the passing and the wind was still coming in somehow.”
