Chief Executive Officer of James Essilfie has advised the club’s supporters to lower their expectations this season following their defeat to Bechem United on Sunday.

The Mauve and Yellows suffered their second worst defeat since the club made its Premier League debut some 11 years ago after losing 4-0 at Bechem United in the 2021/2022 League opener.

Coach Ignatius Osei Fosu’s charges failed to deliver after Francis Twene scored twice in-between Emmanuel Avornyo opener and Augustine Okrah’s screamer.

Speaking to the club’s website after the game, Essilfie told the club’s supporters to measure their expectations due to the changes they made ahead of the season.

“It’s important for our fans to measure their weight of expectation on the team this season,” Essilfie told medeamasc

“We have a new coach and he will need to time to get everything right. We don’t want to pressure on him and the players.

“This is a very demanding club but it’s important to be realistic in the scheme of things.

“We have a good squad capable of competing but we need time for them to jell.”

Medeama will next take on Bibiani Gold Stars at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday.
