Doma United head coach Deji Ayeni has expressed absolute confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back to winning ways as they prepare to face Plateau United in Wednesday’s Nigeria Professional Football League fixture.
The Savannah Tigers head into the midweek encounter looking to dust themselves off following a 2-0 defeat to Kano Pillars over the weekend, a result that brought their impressive unbeaten run to a screeching halt.

Speaking exclusively to Completesports.com, Ayeni emphasized that how the team reacts to adversity is far more important than the setback itself, viewing the loss as a necessary reality check:
“If you watch very well, football is very dynamic; sometimes you lose matches and sometimes you win. But the action after a defeat is what matters most to us right now. The Kano Pillars match has come and gone, and we cannot reverse it. It serves as a wake-up call to remind us that there are no permanent champions, and it exposes areas we need to refine.”
To secure the maximum points against Plateau United, Ayeni revealed that his technical crew has focused heavily on mental conditioning, tactical balance, and aggressive execution.

“We need to go back and prepare mentally, psychologically, emotionally, and physically to make sure we bounce back immediately. Our target is the three maximum points. The best form of attack is to defend, and the best form of defense is to attack. We are going to attack to get our goals while remaining cautious, keeping our defense compact and resolute.”
Doma United will look to put those words into action when they step onto the pitch on Wednesday, aiming to reclaim their early-season momentum.
