The coach of the Mother City outfit, Steve Barker, has singled out Chiefs midfielder Keagan Dolly as the player who is likely to give his team problems in their search for points to close the gap with Sundowns at the summit of the log.
“I think the quality of our opposition also seem to have turned the corner and I’m sure the confidence and belief is high with some of their high-profile players starting to have an impact. This is also our fifth away game in nine, so you know that it’s not easy to keep travelling. So, yeah, it is going to be a big test but at the same time we’d rather look at it as a big challenge. I think it will be a good indicator of where we have come as a team, what we are capable of achieving, so I think it will be a barometer for us to see where we are at,” said Barker, speaking to the club’s media department.

“Obviously, he (Dolly) is showing the quality that he has and everyone knows what he possesses. We definitely can’t allow him the freedom and space, especially in the final third. But it’s not only him. The movement of their front three is really good and they’ve got good quality midfielders and defensively they are solid. The signs of a team that is being well coached are starting to show at Chiefs. There’s a number of players that we have to be aware of, but yes, Keagan does pose a big threat for us,” the coach added.
