The Glamour Boys have initially missed out on some top players who ended up joining their rivals in the South African Premier Soccer League. One has risen to the highest level, playing in the CAF Champions League, and is set to make the Bafana Bafana squad that will compete in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the next two months.
In the absence of Brandon Petersen, the second-choice custodian has been trusted to undertake the goalkeeping duties. However, he has been under scrutiny, as some believe his performances are below par at times. Against the Mswenko Boys, he conceded a goal that increased the criticism directed at him.
The Soweto giants could be regretting their January decisions after opting against signing a new goalkeeper while also sending Bontle Molefe out on loan. With their current shot-stoppers struggling with availability, the club is dangerously thin on options between the sticks at a crucial stage of the season.
The Glamour Boys are slowly turning the tide after initially losing four games in a row across all competitions. Although their chance of winning the Premier Soccer League title race is a distant dream, they are on a good trajectory to finish in the top three. If they achieve a position in that bracket, it will be considered an achievement after missing the top eight last season.
