Orlando Pirates are a side reborn under German tactician Josef Zinnbauer and have gone on a winning streak that has the rest of the league watching carefully. While fans are ecstatic about this turn of events, they aren't getting ahead of themselves just yet.
How the Buccaneers have managed to reduce the gap from 17 to just six points speaks volumes of the German's impact since taking over from caretaker coach Rhulani Mokwena in December last year.
Under him, Bucs have looked reenergized and more fluid. Players like Thembinkosi Lorch have seemingly rediscovered their best form, something SL Supporter @Soccerb4l has acknowledged, likening Zinnbauer to former Bucs coach Ruud Krol, who experienced success with the Soweto giants.
Meanwhile, @Talos08 feels that Pirates would have been one better than their current second place on the Absa Premiership had they started with the former St Gallen man at the helm.
@zebbieFan has commended Bucs on their hard fought victory over Black Leopards following a last-gasp freak own goal this weekend. The win sees Pirates move into second place, six points behind log leaders Kaizer Chiefs, with the two teams set to clash next weekend.
