We Have Moved On From Federation Cup Exit- Plateau United Coach

Plateau United head coach, Zachary Baraje, has said that his side has moved on from their Federation Cup round of 16 exit.

Baraje, who led Akwa United to lift the FA Cup for the first time last year lost to Wikki Tourists 8-7 on penalties after the normal regulation time ended 1-1.

Plateau United are currently 16th on the NPFL log, and they will be making a stop at the Aku Stadium in Makurdi, where they will be clashing against 8th place Lobi Stars on Saturday.

He added that the only target he's got in the ongoing NPFL season will be to remain in the Nigerian topflight, even as the league begins to wind down.

"Yes, we are adequately preparing for the NPFL match-up at Lobi Stars on Sunday in Makurdi."

"We cannot continue to cry over spilled milk over the Federation Cup ouster in round of 16 clash."

"Right now my work has been reduced to securing the side top-flight status quo at the end of the season."

"We are determined to fight the battle with all our whole strengths and more to ensure it ends in success."

"We have pushed the Cup loss behind us more so when we are convinced that we did not lose the tie to Wikki Tourists but the referee."

"However, I take consolation in the impressive performance of the players in the Cup encounter.
The NPFL match at Lobi Stars is going to be real battle as both sides are somehow drowning."

"We will fight for the whole three points at stake as we no longer have the luxury to lose any further points in the remaining matches on the calendar," said the former Enyimba and Akwa United coach to supersport

The NPFL newcomers are 16th on the league log on 30 points 13 behind league leaders, Wikki Tourists.
