With Amakhosi's recent slump in form, there has been a lot of noise surrounding the club, its players, coaches, and fans. And now, adding to the chorus of advice and criticism comes Stuart Baxter, who had two stints in the hot seat.

For the last couple of seasons, the Soweto giants have been struggling to get it right in the final third, explaining the three strikers that were brought on board in the off-season transfer window.

Although Amakhosi have been quite impressive in their campaign, one major issue has been affecting them: a lack of enough goals.

Although Amakhosi have been winning recent games, their goal output has been incredibly low. This is an issue that the technical bench has noted, and now one of the coaches has addressed how it is being solved as the season proceeds.

After failing to collect maximum points in their last two games before the Premier Soccer League took a break in December, Amakhosi resume the campaign with some pressure on their shoulders. On paper, their game against Chippa United was expected to be an easy one given the Chilli Boys' poor form this season; however, the Soweto giants were forced to share points after a goalless draw. The Glamour Boys dropped more points when they were held to another goalless draw by TS Galaxy.
