While Simba are enjoying a successful run, playing attractive football and bringing joy to their supporters, things remain difficult for striker Ibrahim Doumbia.
Yesterday, Simba thrashed Mashujaa FC 6-1 in an NBC Premier League match played at Uhuru Stadium.
It was a match in which Doumbia might have opened his scoring account for Simba, but things did not go as hoped.
Simba head coach Steve Barker brought him on in the second half, and the striker may well be disappointed with himself for failing to score in the match.
He had three clear chances, two of them particularly straightforward opportunities, but failed to convert any of them.
The Simba supporters who filled Uhuru Stadium were eager to celebrate a goal from Doumbia, but that moment never came.
The striker continues to receive strong support from the fans despite his inconsistent form. However, his struggles are increasingly raising questions about his future at the club as the January transfer window approaches.
