French goalkeeper Joris Delle has been criticised heavily in Orlando Pirates previous two Absa Premiership matches for conceding eight goals in three matches.
He displaced Wayne Sandilands as the club's number one a few weeks ago, starting with the match against Chippa United and continued to be preferred over the veteran shot-stopper when they faced Bidvest Wits and Cape Town City.

Delle did not keep a clean sheet in any of those league encounters and both the Pirates and neutral supporters have slammed the Frenchman.
"Football is not about an individual, if you concede goals it's about your organisation as well. He is doing his best, adapting to the game in South Africa. We've got to do better also as a technical team to prepare him and make sure he adapts a little bit quicker. But he is trying," was Pirates' interim coach Rulani Mokwena's attempt to shield Delle following their 3-3 draw to City on Saturday afternoon.
"You will never hear me throw a player under the bus. We do our corrections and we are honest with each other when we analyse – and that's where we talk, in the four walls. We don't hold anything back. But in public, about players, you won't get anything (negative) from me."
