“We need to be given credit. We agree that we lost three games in a row
but after that we played very well and kept three clean sheets when we
beat Royal AM, drew with TS Galaxy and then beat Maritzburg United. Its
true we lost to Golden Arrows and we have to change our mind sets to keep
on doing well in almost all the games. We take full responsibility as
players and that we have to pull up our socks starting with the Soweto
Derby on Saturday,” Khune said.
The captain added that the team had been having discussions amongst
themselves through the captain committee which include senior players like
Eric Mathoho, Keagan Dolly and Sifiso Hlanti.
“We have seen that the talka we have as players have been helpful to the
team. We discuss amongst ourselves of what we need to do as players before
we can meet with the coaches and that has really helped us in the team,”
Khune observed.
