In the midst of the Super League's intense competition, Trident Football Club is grappling with the looming threat of relegation. The question on everyone's mind is whether they can escape the clutches of demotion after their promotion last season. At this juncture, it's premature to engage in relegation conversations as the league is only in the round of 14 out of 34 rounds, with specific requirements for each team to fulfill by the season's end. However, for Trident Football Club, a team that enthralled fans during their promotion from the Faz Division One National League last campaign, optimism has been overshadowed by the challenges they currently face. Struggling to replicate their previous season's success in transitioning from the second tier to the Super League, Trident finds itself in a precarious position. As of week 14, they stand as the sole team yet to secure a victory, accumulating the highest number of draws in the league (9) and suffering five losses, leaving them firmly entrenched at the bottom of the table with a mere 9 points to their name. The upcoming fixtures pose an additional hurdle for Trident, facing defending champions Power Dynamos away and confronting current log leaders Zesco United. The slim chances of securing positive results in these crucial games may extend their quest for that elusive first victory, making them early participants in relegation discussions. Despite being just three points behind 17th-placed Nkana FC, a team navigating through a rough patch, Trident faces an uphill battle. Adding to the turmoil, Trident's current form instills a sense of instability. The team witnessed the departure of their manager, Israel Mwanza, who was placed on administrative leave early in the season due to a string of poor results. In October, Albert Kachinga took the reins, but the managerial change has yet to alter the club's fortunes. Trident often takes the lead in matches only to falter, settling for a single point or nothing. The unfolding narrative prompts curiosity about Trident's fate. Will they navigate their way out of this muddy situation, or will they sink further, becoming the administrators of the relegation zone chat group? Only time will reveal the destiny that awaits Trident Football Club in this challenging Super League campaign.
