Plateau United’s General Manager, Habila Hosea Mutla, remains optimistic that the team will avoid relegation despite their struggles in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season.

The former NPFL champions have endured a difficult campaign, currently sitting 16th on the table with 24 points from 22 matches—just one spot above the drop zone.

In a bid to rescue their season, the Jos-based club made four new signings during the January transfer window. Mutla believes these reinforcements could turn the tide for Plateau United in the remaining fixtures.

"Yes, we’ve strengthened the squad with some fresh legs during the January transfer window," Mutla said. "And it’s our hope that the new arrivals will bring the much-needed spark to the team."

A Season of Struggles for Plateau United

For a team that once dominated the NPFL, Plateau United’s current situation is alarming. Their inconsistent form, defensive frailties, and lack of goals have placed them dangerously close to relegation.

Despite these setbacks, Mutla’s confidence suggests that the club still believes in survival. However, signings alone won’t guarantee safety—the team must deliver results on the pitch.

Can the New Signings Inspire a Turnaround?

Plateau United fans will be eager to see if these new arrivals can provide:
✅ More goals – A key weakness this season.
✅ Defensive stability – Preventing costly mistakes at the back.
✅ A winning mentality – To navigate a tough relegation battle.

With just a handful of matches left, every point is crucial. The upcoming fixtures will determine whether Plateau United will fight their way to safety or suffer a shocking drop from Nigeria’s top flight.

Final Thoughts: A Defining Moment for Plateau United

While signings bring hope, survival in the NPFL requires more than just optimism. The players must rise to the challenge, the coaching staff must make the right tactical decisions, and the fans must continue to support the team in these trying times.

Will Plateau United stage a great escape or face the heartbreak of relegation? The coming weeks will provide the answer.
