Interim coach of Hearts of Oak, David Ocloo, says the reason for the club\u2019s struggle in the Ghana Premier League is due to the depleted squad.<\/p>\n

Ocloo has been tasked to steer the side until the end of the season after Slavko Matic was chased out of the club by the fans of the club.<\/p>\n

Hearts of Oak\u2019s woes were compounded on Sunday in the matchday 33 games with a\u00a0 2-1 defeat against Real Tamale United.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Rainbow Club has suffered five defeats in their last six games played. They sit 11th<\/sup>\u00a0on the pile with 45 points.<\/p>\n

After the game, Ocloo attributed the club\u2019s poor performance to the depleted squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [fans] are right to be furious and say whatever they want,\u201d he told StarTimes after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they shouldn\u2019t forget that this is a depleted side I met so they should know how to talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are hard times and we can only beg them to support us more because that is the only thing that can help us come back.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they are right to say whatever they want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Hearts of Oak will wrap up their campaign with an away game against Berekum Chelsea on Sunday at the Golden City Park.<\/p>\n
