2019 Telkom Knockout Quarterfinal Preview: “I’m really worried,” Tonic Chabalala – Former Orlando Pirates defender

“I still maintain that Milutin Sredojevic’s departure couldn’t have come at a worse time for the club and we are still paying the price. Having said that, I expected much more from Rhulani (Mokwena) when he stepped in as someone who was with Micho for two seasons, but it hasn’t been that good.

The supporters have been patient, but I’m worried they might get tired of understanding. The chopping and changing of the starting line-up is also not helping in terms of continuity and belief in the players. I honestly have no confidence going to this derby and I’m just being honest. I’m really worried because we don’t even have a stable starting line-up and I don’t know how we are going to build confidence in the team when we don’t even know our best 11. If he can’t deliver in the derby, I really don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m really worried about the obvious lack of confidence in the players, but I hope the coach will find a way to get the guys believing in themselves and get the results.”
