On the draw against SuperSport United
This has been a tough week for us as a club and myself as a person but we have to keep fighting and taking on more challenges because that is what life is all about. On Friday, we had a tough match against SuperSport United and we started very well. But unfortunately, the early red card (to defender Gabriel Michaels) took us off (the game). But we bounced back and created more goal scoring opportunities, but we couldn’t convert them. And to be fair on SuperSport, they also created chances and missed as well. And at the end of the day we had to take a point. The way we prepared and set up our team for that match, I believe we could have won it because a win is something that we needed. The red card itself didn’t change anything in terms of how we were going to play, we wanted to attack and we did. But the only difference was that the red card left us one man short in one area, which was at the back. SuperSport United had their own plans and ambitions going to the match and we also had ours. Our goal was simple, to win the match and keep our chances of surviving relegation alive. We had chances to score but at the end of the day, we didn’t. After the match we were OK. We were playing a match away from home and in a normal situation, a point away from home is good. But in terms of the situation we were in it wasn’t good. But after the match, the mood was not that sad because at the time we had not been relegated yet. When we left Polokwane, we still had hopes of surviving relegation.
