Highlanders FC fans are deeply split after the Bulawayo giants recorded five consecutive draws to start the new season, a run that has left the club sitting on five points from five matches.
This has renewed debate over the future direction of the team under new coach Benjani Mwaruwari.
Supporters’ reaction to the run which includes a goalless draw with reigning champions FC Platinum ranges from cautious optimism to blunt frustration.
Voices of fans from social media give a cross-section of the mood around Bosso as calls grow both for patience with Mwaruwari and urgent investment in attack.
While some are already calling for his dismissal.
Some are mocking the coach as a draw specialist.
Below are some of the reactions:

Not a bad result, FC Platinum is not a punching bag. Bosso will beat weaker teams as well and go up the ladder. 5 games unbeaten is not bad

Draw is not a good result if you play 5 consecutives game once you lose one game it will cost you and gives a lot of pressure better to play for a draw and win

Just across Limpopo, Moroka Swallows hold the record for the most draws in a 30-game Premier Soccer League season, drawing 20 matches during the 2020-2021 campaign.
Losing 10 points from a possible 15 points is not bad. At this rate we might go 30 games unbeaten losing 60 points from possible 90 points.

I think We now need modern technology to track everything from the last tackles in the previous game, this game by the time we get to the next game it will be 3 points
