Otobong Inyang was different as he expressed continued support for the club saying “We’ll keep supporting this Team and the Technical Crew.

“I’m sure the Team would’ve learnt from the recent continental woe.”

Ekanem Aniefiok said the fans deserve apology from the club for existing the CAF Champions League early.

“I’m yet to recover from the shock of our early exit in the caf champions league. We deserve an apology!”

AbdulHakeem Bolanle Ibn-Musa questioned how the champions could not scale through the preliminary stage of the Champions League.

“Go sit down, You don’t reciprocate our support for you at all

“How can you not for the umpteenth time not being able to scale through the preliminary of the CAFCL?”

Bldr Nsidibe Nduenso accused the club for dropping players hence their short ride in the continental league.

“After dropping player anyhow, what do u think that u guys will do next season thunder f*** unah there.”

Amb Wisdom Samuel appealed to the team to change tactics ahead of the new season
“Change your tactics, if you want to maintain the title, not what you played against  Belouzda in CAF,”
