Mokwena's comments on Wydad's defeat send message to fans

According to iDiskiTimes, Mokwena reflects on Wydad fans' frustration after the club fell to another league defeat as they dropped to eighth on the Botola Pro Inwi table.

The former Sundowns gaffer, who pleaded with the club board to be patient with him a few days ago, admitted that the fans deserved better results from the team.

"The fans of Wydad know the situation, and I know you understand football a lot; the team is in number six with new players, with the board, with the new staff, and really, to be honest, I thought we would struggle more than we had.
"The fans deserve better results because they were fantastic and supported us. I think it influenced the performance. We played well, but you have to win games at big clubs."
