Xoki, however, sounded positive about the club’s ability to change their fortunes, saying despite the loss against Big Bullets they’ve tried to remain positive and believe their they’ll turn the corner soon.
“We’re trying to remain positive at all times,” Xoki said.
“We know things have not gone our way in our last few games but we’re hopeful we can turn it around. We need one win to kick us on. It’s been eluding us but we know we’re close, we’re close to getting one over and then from there we can go on a positive run.
“For now we’re just keeping a positive mood, trying to do the basics right and not put ourselves under pressure. But we know that we’re capable of going on a run. We just need to start winning and that will start tomorrow (on Tuesday against SuperSport).”
Xoki said despite not getting the results, what consoles them most is the fact that they’re creating the chances. He feels it’s a matter of time before they convert those chances into goals that will win games.
“The downside is that we have to minimise conceding, which was our strong point last season. We need to play well, do the right things and take the chances when we get them.”
In SuperSport, Usuthu are meeting a team that started the season well, winning their last match against Lamontville Golden Arrows 3-1 after drawing their opening tie to Cape Town City 0-0.
