Board member of Accra Hearts of Oak Nyaho Nyaho Tamakloe has told the club’s fans to direct their anger towards their unfit and unfocused players and not the coach.

Acting head coach Edward Odoom and his team of technical men were forced to use an alternative route exit from the Accra Sports Stadium as angry supporters had threatened to harm them in the aftermath of their 1-1 game with Elmina Sharks.

The fans blamed Odoom for the result and as usual, demanded for his head, allegedly hurling some unpleasant words at his direction.

Nyaho Tamakloe in his defense of coach Odoom criticized the Hearts players for losing concentration during the game.

He observed that the unfit Hearts players could not cope with the lively and fit Elmina Sharks players.

“I will advise our supporters to leave the coach alone. The coach is not the problem and anyone who thinks the coach is going to be taken away must have a rethink. The supporters will have to change their heart that it is not every game that we are going to win. What we need now is a very good backing for the coach”.

“To be frank with you, yesterday our boys were not fit. I have handled boys in the past and can tell you that our guys were not fit. The Sharks players did most of the run and also their concentration was not fixed. So those supporters who have made up their minds to criticize everything, they should not attack the coach”.

The result has left Hearts ninth on the league table with seventeen points.
