ORLANDO Pirates should, and must, wake up from ‘slumberland’ and smell the ‘coffee’ or cup in this instance.
Having lost two important games in a space of a week, this should be a major concern to the team and coach. Fans are having none of it, either.
In the Betway PSL clash, last week, they lost 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium, and surprisingly this past Saturday, the ghost lost it, after being overshadowed by the second-tier side Casric Stars from Limpopo in the Nedbank Cup 5-4 on penalties -that broke the Camels back.
The late football commentator par excellence Clement “Cebo CC” Manyaapelo lyrically used to describe that “football has no therefore” and Bucs should be aware of such.
Bucs will get enough rest in the next coming days to re-group and focus on the much anticipated Soweto Derby clash this Saturday.
Kaizer Chiefs who were involved in CAF games, are playing catch-up games domestically as they prepare for a clash with ‘party-poopers’ Stellenbosch FC at FNB Stadium, tonight.
This would be advantageous to the Amakhosi side as they prepare for the epic clash on Saturday, in that they will be hyped up, yet Bucs could also benefit from the much needed rest.
Pirates currently are third on the log and Chiefs are lying fourth, dependent on tonight’s game.
Look, the PSL title race is open for every team to raise its hand and both Bucs and Chiefs are contenders, if only they show hunger and determination.
But Downs’ should be not be discounted either since the May month, is a bit of a stretch.
