Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Cavin Johnson claims the side can only get better after their narrow defeat to Orlando Pirates on Saturday.
A solitary goal from Evidence Makgopa gave the Buccaneers a 1-0 win at a sold out FNB Stadium.

Johnson felt the Amakhosi had chances to get themselves back in the game, but felt the occasion might have been too much for some in the first half.
"Ja I think in one moment game maybe of two halves but I thought we had better chances in the first-half, I thought we had a nice chance at the beginning," Johnson said on SuperSport TV.
"But then they picked up and scored one in the first-half. But I thought we were okay in the second-half, we should have scored late in the half but not to be.
"Congratulations to Pirates, they have the bragging rights now but we will come back.
"I'm sure the way we want to play and the way some of the players played today I think we can only get better. But we need to be a lot calmer in a lot of moments of the game, so what can you do?" he asked.
Chiefs were also unable to give Johnson a nice present on his birthday.
"I thought I was gonna get a birthday present but not to be, I'll wait for next year if that's gonna come," he added.
