PLK City Disappointed In Attackers After Bucs Loss

PLK City Disappointed In Attackers After Bucs Loss

Polokwane City interim coach Phuti Mohape was disappointed in his attackers after the defeat to Orlando Pirates.

Rise and Shine missed out on a spot in the top half of the DStv Premiership table after a 1-0 loss at the hands of the Buccaneers.

Mohape claims the attacking players did not take advantage of all the space behind the Pirates defence.

"It was a tough encounter, I think according to me we controlled the first half and played well the first half, second half we lost a bit of the edge," Mohafe told SuperSport after the game.

"We lost every second ball that we should've hold, we didn't apply ourselves correctly in terms of playing those balls behind the defence.

"And knowing that they are slow at the back and knowing that they are leaving those spaces at the back so our wing-play was not quite impressive.

"But I think those are the things we should work on during the week," he added.

The coach also bemoaned a lapse of concentration that led to Evidence Makgopa's goal.

"I think it was a matter of a lost of concentration in terms of who has to mark who and Makgopa just lost the marker and put the ball where the keeper doesn't know whether to come out or not," he  added.

"He doubted whether he should come out or stay, he went out one step but he immediately went back so I thought if he had gone all out, maybe it could've disturbed Makgopa and that wasn't going to be a goal," he said.
