Kaizer Chiefs are currently dwindling down in 10th place on the DStv Premiership log after a forgettable run of results, the latest of which came in the form of a shocking loss to Richards Bay.
With just one win from their last 10 games, and three successive losses in the league, Chiefs next face a DStv Premiership encounter with SuperSport United at the new Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane on Saturday (kick off 17:30).
Can Kaizer Chiefs finally get back to winning ways?
Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma has said the team is fully determined to make a strong finish to the season.
“We all know it and we are looking forward to this game as an opportunity to put things right. We are working very hard to try to turn our season around, and this game is the first chance for us to do it,” the Chiefs star commented, as quoted by iDiski Times.
“Despite our recent form falling below the standards we set for ourselves, it is still our intention to win all of our remaining games in order to finish as high as possible.
“Obviously, Top 8 is the minimum requirement and with the group of players we have, I believe we are capable of winning every game until the end of the season.
“Let me be clear, as Kaizer Chiefs we should always be competing for first place in any competition but we have been through a tough patch and we are determined to finish as well as we can.”
Meanwhile, stand-in coach Cavin Johnson sought to present a positive outlook ahead of Saturday’s clash.
“It has been a positive week and as the boys came off the training pitch just now, they looked very good,” he told the club’s official website. “They have regrouped and look to be a happy crop of players, but more importantly, very very determined. We will go out and do the best we can. We know we have to turn the corner sometime and we want to do it in this game.
“We are playing against a good team in SuperSport United. We have done our homework on them. We know that their coach, Gavin Hunt can set his team up in different ways, but we have worked on ways to counter that, and also to exploit any vulnerability they may show.”
Another defeat could lead to Johnson’s early departure
Over the last week there were growing rumours that Kaizer Chiefs could consider removing Cavin Johnson from the top job sooner rather than later.
Although there are only a few games left this season, Chiefs legend Fani Madida is one of those who has suggested that former head coach Arthur Zwane should just be brought back to finish the season.
