Orlando Pirates co-head coach Mandla Ncikazi reveals he was disappointed the team did not stick with the plan after dropping points against Cape Town City.
Happy Jele's first-half header was cancelled out by Mduduzi Mdantsane's second-half spot-kick as the two sides drew 1-1 at the Cape Town Stadium.
The Pirates tactician was particularly displeased with the team's failure to nullify Terrence Mashego down the left flank as they had planned.
"From the previous match that they played against Swallows you could see the effectiveness of [Terrence] Mashego, they are playing a three-man defence, we wanted to cater for that," Ncikazi told SuperSport after the game.
"Mashego's got very less responsibility defensively, so we wanted the space behind him. I thought we kept him quiet a bit first-half but second-half not the same team, just my disappointment is on that. I wish we continued with the same team that played first-half. But it's work in progress, let's use the first-half as a measure of our team going forward.
"Pirates must win all matches, that's the expectation, I'm just disappointed we did not do what we planned, we're far off the objectives that we made for ourselves but it's a lesson, it's not a loss.
"Let's learn quickly though, let's not be slow learners and try change the result. This team deserves more than what we're giving."
