“The management of the team has expressed its desire to see the club going back to Africa. That’s the main goal for this season. If you look at the league table, the chances of the team challenging for the DStv Premiership are very slim.” an insider told Citizen.
“The club didn’t do so well during the earlier stages of the campaign and many points were dropped. But now there seems to be hope that the club can finish in second of third place on the league standings.
“Playing in Africa is a top priority. There are even plans in place already to strengthen the squad by the end of the season.”

“I don’t think the team is doing too badly. Since coach Cavin Johnson took over, the performances have improved, but I still think they need a striker. One that can score goals for a living,” the former Kaizer Chiefs man told SoccerLaduma.
“They have all the other departments well balanced, but the striking department has not been doing very well.
“So I hoped that in January they would look at that department and bring in a top finisher to ease the pressure on the other strikers in the team. That’s what we really needed in January.”
