Among the issues discussed were the team's dismal record of five losses, three draws, and three wins in eleven games of the ongoing 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League campaign, as well as tactical deficiencies, player motivation, injuries, and fitness.

According to Babanjah, "We are not satisfied with the way things are going, and as management, we can't fold our arms and watch the team slide down a slippery slope.

"Immediate improvement is non-negotiable.

"We expect tangible results in our next three matches. Failure to deliver will necessitate drastic measures."

Other management members who lent their voices tasked the technical crew with reassessing their strategies and player positioning.

They also urged the players to rediscover their competitive edge, while instructing the medical staff to intensify injury rehabilitation and fitness programs.

Technical Director Kabir Dogo apologized on behalf of the coaching staff, assuring the management, supporters, and fans of the club of an imminent turnaround.

"We regret the inconveniences our recent performances have caused the state.

"However, we will overhaul our tactics, enhance player motivation, and fortify our defense going forward," Dogo assured.

Captain King Osanga (MON) pledged the team's commitment in subsequent games.

"We acknowledge our shortcomings and the expectations on our shoulders as ambassadors of the state.

"We have made up our minds to regain our winning momentum."

The management of the club also held a similar meeting with the team's supporters' club, headed by Abdulsalam Abubakar, urging them to work in unison to support the team in achieving success.

Currently placed 17th on the league table with twelve points from eleven matches, the Solid Miners have moved past the disappointment of last weekend’s 0-1 home loss to Kwara United and are in high spirits for their next game against Akwa United on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. They will follow this with another North-Central derby clash against Plateau United on match-day 13, a week later, at the New Jos International Stadium.
