Onigbinde disclosed this on Saturday during his post-match conference at Pantami Township Stadium, Gombe.
Our correspondent reports that the two Gombe-based teams are meeting this season for the second time.
Gombe United’s Nnaji scored in the 12th minute before Usman of Doma FC equalised 64 minutes into the match.
According to him, the team would have done better, but the challenges hinged on injury and travel for better opportunities, adding that it harmed the output.
Onigbinde said, “It is not a good game. Our intention was to pick our three points at home, but I don’t know what we are backing. If you try to block a loophole here, there is another loophole there.
“We are having issues, and I believe we are going to get over it very soon. Some of our players are back sitting on the bench. By the time we start working on players with injury, our next game will not be like this.
“In every team, there must be a problem, and there must be a solution. That is the reason why we have to have 25 per cent quality players in the team. We have injured players on the ground, and some have travelled abroad for trials; this has really affected the team. I believe we will bounce back gradually, but all I know is that the team will not go down.”
While expressing hope that Doma FC will survive the current moment, he said, “I have assurance that the team will not go to relegation. Having a problem is a learning process. We are also learning. This is our second time in the premier league, and we cannot just say we are going to be among the top teams.
“This is a private team, and the man is trying his possible best that the team achieves something. We are trying, and we will bounce back. It’s just a matter of time, and before time goes out of hand, we will make it. We have a match at Wakpa. If we can play the way we did today, I believe we would pick something out of it.”
To the disappointment of fans, Onigbinde pleaded for more time to make amend, saying “I will just tell them sorry and that they should be patient with us, we would get back from where we stopped.”
