Sometimes as players, we have to talk between ourselves and remind each other of our duties and this great institution that we represent. As players, we have sat down and discussed how we can turn things around. I can tell you that the boys are ready for the next game," "We are in this together as the Highlanders' family. I think we need each other more than ever. As players we feel sorry for the supporters. As we go to Mutare, my plea to fans is that we support each other in good and bad times. We believe it shall be well"

All the goalkeepers that have come I worked well with them and that also helped me grow as a goalkeeper because I also learnt from them. I believe hard work is what got me this far,"

Our aim is to finish the season strongly and a top four finish will cap a fine season for the Highlanders family,"

But when Highlanders realised that there were no middle options, they played the long ball resulting in those two mistakes that changed the complexion of the game,"
