After missing clear-cut chances in the two games, some supporters have been wondering why the Reds signed him. Their argument is that Mabogo was a bench-warmer at Chiefs and the management could have gone for a player who has been banging goals. "I understand their frustration but they have to know that I have not been playing at Chiefs and I lack confidence. I can assure them that I am working on my finishing in training and goals will come as soon as I have regained my confidence. The good thing is that the coach (Manfred Chibanga) understands my problem and is helping me to regain my form," he said.
After joining the Reds from Chiefs, Mabogo told Mmegi Sport that he feels like a born-again because now he starts games. "I came to GU wanting some game time hence I left Chiefs. Now that I'm getting that (game time), I'm happy and will strive to do my best," he said. Mabogo joined Chiefs two seasons ago from BDF XI and immediately won the hearts of Magosi supporters with his killer instinct in front of goal. He helped Chiefs to win their first league title in 2008 and the lucrative Coca-Cola in a season when the club played 35 official games without defeat. "Though most people might say we (GU) have an outside chance of retaining the league title, I believe that it's out of our reach. All I want to concentrate on is helping the team do well in the Coca-Cola Cup and Champions League," Mabogo said. The Reds face little-known Combination Stars in the Coke Cup this Saturday in Francistown before facing South African powerhouse, Orlando Pirates in the CAF Champions League next month.
