Korona Kielce ll Overview

Bucs coach has delivered a blistering assessment of his side's recent performance, labelling their first-half display against Usuthu as nothing short of a disaster. The Buccaneers missed a golden opportunity to climb level with Premier Soccer League early leaders Kaizer Chiefs, leaving their manager fuming at the lack of urgency shown by his squad.

The Sea Robbers’ wasteful attack once again proved costly as they were held to a draw by a Durban outfit that has shown vulnerability at the back. Both sides were looking to maintain their winning momentum at the start of the Premier Soccer League campaign, with Usuthu aiming to bounce back from their MTN8 Cup setback over the weekend.

Stellies' coach has laid bare the selection dilemma facing his side following a frantic end to the transfer window. Despite securing high-profile additions to bolster the squad, the veteran tactician admitted that a lack of pre-season conditioning has left his new stars trailing behind the rest of the group.

The Soweto giants are being backed to finally end their long wait for continental glory and add a second star to their badge. A former Buccaneers midfielder believes the Sea Robbers have what it takes to emulate the recent African success of rivals, the Tshwane giants.
