No game...Should we start to worry?

Good Friday to you....


Beautiful days are back again. It's the weekend people and that gives you time to catch and make up for what you missed out on during the overly structured weekdays. 


We don't have a game this weekend, can't say I like it but it gives me time to get some of my commitments out of the way. There's four games on Saturday for the Telkom cup. Surprisingly, at least to me, only two games are scheduled for Sunday. Both playing at the 15:00, couldn't the PSL put the following Wednesday's games late on Sunday if broadcasting was the issue?

Anyhow, our next game will be on Wednesday against Aces, the same Aces that just won against Pirates. There is no therefore anywhere there. What this means is that Aces are not to be taken lightly at all. But since this is cup game, players tend to be more motivated. Which is sad as the league games are just as important. It raises a question of, where our energies should be focussed, Cups or League?


If you're looking at the log table (not upside down), then you might be inclined to think we should focus on the league games. Which might be true. But someone else could be happy with a cup victory. I would be happy with a consistent performance in both cup and league games. Winning a cup would be nice, but not at the expense of a finish high up the league.
This short break imposed by the PSL gives us sometime to regroup, lick our wounds and grow back our wings. They've been clipped quite vigorously over the past weeks, something that makes me really sad.


I could mention that we've had quite a difficult start to the season, Sundowns (away), Ajax, AmaZulu (away), Maritzburg (away), and the Other team, but I won't mention that. Because there are no easy games in the PSL, I know its a overly used cliché but true at the same time. Our next league games at home, Celtic and Arrows won't be any easier. But we have to pick up some points now. If we are to compete for top honours then we should compete and beat these teams.


That is it from me today, enjoy your weekend and do all that you can't during the week.


Cheers and see you soon.
