The defeat sees Gunjur United slump to 15th in the standings, just one spot above the relegation zone - raising serious concerns about the club’s future in the league.

Despite boasting a pool of talented players, the “Coastal Boys” have failed to translate potential into points this season. Supporters lament a lack of consistency, tactical coherence, and fighting spirit - elements they believe are vital if the team is to avoid the drop.

Calls are growing louder for urgent changes, whether in management, coaching strategy, or player mindset and behaviours, as the club inches dangerously close to relegation territory.

With the season nearing its business end, Gunjur United faces mounting pressure to turn things around and salvage what remains of their hopes of staying in the league or risk a plunge into the third tier of Gambian football.
