Former Pirates striker Andries Sebola has been happy with the combination and contribution of Lorch and Saleng.  

"The way that Lorch has been performing for Pirates is more like Saleng but fortunately for Saleng he doesn't get injured. He has just been scoring goals for Pirates and (has been) on song. If Saleng is on form and Lorch is on form, everything is possible for the team," he said in relation to the team's plans to finish in second place to qualify for the CAF Champions League.
