Pratap says they need to have a better plan against Navua.

“It’s part of the game. I think the players get carried away sometimes in the game but then we have to go back and improve. I think as individuals we have to improve but its part and parcel of the game and we always have to be prepared for those circumstances.”

The Babasiga Lions are currently fifth place on the DPL ladder with a point after round one.
