Hearts of Oak coach, Kosta Papic, has admitted his side was not ready for their clash against Aduana Stars.
The Phobians, after recording a resounding 3-0 win over Dreams FC, were tamed at the Nana Agyemang Badu II Park in Dormaa losing 2-0.
Veteran forward Yahaya Mohammed and Prince Acquah scored the goals to hand the ‘Ogya’ lads their first win of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.
With just one win in five games so far this season, Papic believes his side are not quite there yet, in terms of mounting a title challenge.
Speaking after the defeat at Aduana, Papic confessed that fans would have to get used to a bit more inconsistent results, as the club navigates through this difficult period.
“We are not ready. Like I’ve said before, it’s going to be upside down for a little while.
“We will be inconsistent for a while before things will eventually stabilize. We are not yet there, but we’ll get there,” he said.
