Agyemang-Badu also implored the head coach of the side, Chris Hughton to consider inviting experienced players to strengthen the team.
“It’s very worrisome, very troublesome where we are heading to but I’m really optimistic that for what I think has happened in these two games the coach (Chris Hughton) has seen what he needs to do, what he needs to react on,” he told Citi Sports.
“I’m very optimistic that from next month the team will start gelling well and try to do well and if he (the coach) can add a bit of experienced players to the team I think it will help,” he added.
