We do need to win this game so much. We want to get three points in the game and we will come all out against Busoga United. We are home and we want to make our fans happy. We will not have Obenchan and Achai who also missed the previous game due to injury. However, we have Aheebwa back and he will make the match day squad against Busoga United FC. I am impressed with the performance of the youngsters Ayella, Mwanje and Juma and I will give them another opportunity against Busoga United.
