Cape Town Spurs head coach Ernst Middendorp says he's quite sure some of players are not able to last 90 minutes after their defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Urban Warriors suffered a 3-0 defeat to the DStv Premiership leaders on Wednesday evening, taking their tally to 13 losses this campaign.

Middendorp feels the lack of confidence does play a role in how the team performed at the Lucas Moripe Stadium.
"Of course it has something to do with confidence, if you've only won one game and you're losing, you're sitting rock bottom. Definitely at half-time it was not about shouting," Middendorp told SuperSport after the game.
"It is just going out with a jumping concept, what we have seen in the end of the first-half, one jump from from one to another.
"That's not healthy for your defensive concept. You need the ball and your own teammate as a reference point but there's a lot of stuff to do.
"Actually I have to look into the data, I'm not sure each and everybody from the conditioning side is able to produce 90 minutes.
"I think too many actions, too many recovery time in between the action I have seen. We can continue to talk about what we need to do, what has to be done in the future," he added.
