It is not easy to have a good balance of the squad because we obviously must be clever in the market and get the team balanced.

We need to get the better balance in terms of strikers, we can’t have four number nines, we need a number 10 type of a striker to balance the strikers, same as wide players, same as covers and centre-backs. We have been a little bit thin in those positions because of injuries.

Every day is a process so one day at a time.

The impact of new players in the team made a huge difference, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Siphesihle Ndlovu, Zakhele Lepasa has just joined us recently but even the younger ones have made a big difference. Thapelo Maseko, Neo Rapoo, Grant Margeman obviously joining us this season so we have a consolidated youth and experienced players hopefully the balance will be right.

I think it’s important we go play into Africa; the top eight we shouldn’t be concerned about that. We just don’t want to be in the top eight, we certainly need the club to play into Africa. We still have a lot of games left and obviously we need to get lucky with injuries.  We have been very unlucky losing two centre-backs, it’s a big blow to us.

Lepasa has just joined us, and he will settle down very quickly, for me he’s a 10^th striker, he’s the one we needed. Hopefully he will get to the right fitness level and fit into the system, get into play, and understand the way we play. It’s a good opportunity for him and I’m looking forward to working with him.

We are really struggling to put the back-four together. Luke Fleurs is injured. We have all three centre-backs being out, we can’t be losing Tyson and TT (Thatayaone Ditlhokwe), we need cover. The absence of Tyson (Thulani Hlatshwayo) is a huge blow to us, he had a big concussion and concussions are always dangerous especially when you are playing in that area of the pitch heading the ball, so we are going to have to look and see what’s the story.
