Kaizer Chiefs continue to blow and hot cold with managerial changes and inconsistent results since the start of the season.
At this point, the only silver lining could be a respectable league finish having seen their chances to win silverware go up in smoke, and now defender Dillan Solomons reflects on their target.

The former Moroka Swallows man, who is now in his second season with the club, looked to have won over a section of the supporters despite his limited time on the field last year.
For the player, much of this appraisal has been on how he is able to juggle different positions, be that defensively or offensively for the team.
"Look, obviously as a player you want to play as much games as you can and for me it was just about patience. Obviously, there were players in my position who were doing well and now that the coach asks me to do different jobs, it's that I'm versatile and I can do the jobs that he needs me to do," Solomons told the media in the press conference after Chiefs drew 0-0 against Cape Town City on the weekend.
"And to have the support of the supporters, it means the world to me and it gives me the fire so hopefully I can make them happier.
"We are grateful for the support we are getting. It means a lot to us. We know we haven't lived up to expectations and we are trying our best, we are giving everything we have and that should help us in the long run and just continue supporting us, being there for us," he added.
This past weekend, the fullback cum-winger demanded more of the same for himself and revealed how Amakhosi are now aiming to finish the campaign in the top two in the PSL to qualify for next season's CAF Champions League.
"It means a lot to the players when you see the support coming out week in and week out and it will give us the edge as we get towards the end of the season.
"We have a different goal now and that's to qualify for the Champions League, that's the only (factor) on our mind at the moment so for us it's just to have that 12th man in the stands and hopefully we get the job done," Solomons said.
Chiefs face another coastal side on Tuesday night, this time high-flying Stellenbosch FC come to town in Soweto.
