However, while the results could be more pleasing, Obua is not worried as he is building a certain style that will rub URA players for future results and development.

Two games into his tenure as URA FC head coach, David Obua has yet to master victory, and his team has picked a draw and suffered defeat on the other occasion.

Having drawn 2-2 with Kitara FC about a fortnight back, the Tax Collectors lost 2-0 to Vipers SC on Thursday at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.

However, while the results could be more pleasing, Obua is not worried as he is building a certain style that will rub URA players for future results and development.

"I can promise you, we are going back, work and we shall play more football, and that's not going to change," Obua said in the post-match press interview.

"You could see we were losing the game today, but we didn't stop playing football, and that's my methodology and style of play."

"I promise we will come again, I'm not scared, no fear. We need to teach these players how to play football the tactical way," Obua added.

Beautiful, not street football

"I have inherited a team, so I have to go through behavioural changes, and they don't take a day or week; they take time. I've been here for two weeks, but you can see what we're building," Obua noted.

"We want to help Uganda get players that can play good football. I don't want to play street football, I apologize, but I don't want to play street football," he reiterated.

Meanwhile, the result left URA eighth on the 16-team table with just ten points in eight matches played this season.

They will hope for better results in their subsequent match when they play host to Express FC at the Mehta Stadium, Lugazi, on December 1.
