NHLANGANO – “There is nothing we have not done to win matches and I feel we
now need divine intervention.”
These were the words of Mbabane Midas City coach Artwell Dludlu following his
side’s record ninth straight defeat at the hands of Royal Leopard on Sunday
afternoon at King Sobhuza II Memorial Stadium.
Charismatic as ever and confident in his words, Dludlu said they had tried
everything from different combinations to squad rotation but it seems the first
points of the 2017/18 MTN League season will not come by anytime soon.
Dludlu refused to put blame on the preseason sale of about eight key players,
among others Ndumiso ‘Tower’ Ndaba and Simanga Shongwe, who joined Mbabane
Swallows, and Buhlebenkhosi Msibi, who penned for Leopard.
“The sale of players is no excuse. We have a capable squad that can compete
for honours in the Premier League and as you saw today, we created good chances
to at least get a point after conceding that silly goal,” he said.
His Leopard counterpart Sifiso ‘Nuro’ Ntibane is of the view that they
should have killed off the game in the first half. “It is not easy to keep the
momentum going but we will have to try and win the next game. We created ample
chances to kill off the game in the first half but there were positives to pick,
the good tactical discipline from my boys,” Ntibane, who was without Lungelo
Tsabedze, Phumlani Dlamini and Sikhumbuzo ‘Chaka’ Ntimane through injuries
and suspension, among others, said.
