Plateau United technical adviser, Gbenga Ogunbote, has urged his players to stay focused in their fight against relegation.
The Peace Boys suffered a 1-0 defeat to Nasarawa United at the Lafia City Stadium on Sunday.
The defeat put Plateau United in a difficult position ahead of their final game of the season.
Plateau United will next be up against Kano Pillars in their season finale in Jos.
Ogunbote insisted that the team has to do everything possible to avoid relegation.
“Sometimes expectations are high and you don’t get it the way you wanted. The defeat against Nasarawa United was one of them,” Ogunbote told the club’s media.
“The defeat is a big setback. We just have to go back to work and ensure we avoid the drop.
“We will do our best as everybody has an equal chance going into the final day. We just have to go back and redefine our position in the league.”
Plateau United must win their game against Kano Pillars to secure their top-flight status.
