Mohafe: That’s what we’re lacking now

Marumo Gallants coach Phuti Mohafe highlighted their failure to score goals as their main issue after the 2-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday night.

It’s been a tough start to life at Gallants, who are yet to get off the mark as the club slumped to the foot of the table with just one point registered from three matches.

Against the might of the Brazilians, the boys from Rustenburg knew the unenviable task in regard to having little of the ball but didn’t make use of the chances that came their way.

“All I can say is we created goals, but they couldn’t pass the line hence I’ve said what we’re going to do when we have the ball, we got the ball, it’s not going to be a problem, but the problem would be when we have the ball,” Mohafe told SuperSport TV.

“We had the ball not so much, but we created opportunities, but we still missed the opportunities we had created. There was a other one that I thought it was a goal from Sikhakhane just next to the pole there, it was a set-piece and the other two from the set-piece from Otladisa.

“Phillips arrived late in the box, so I think we created as team that didn’t have much of the ball, but we have to look into our finishing, into our creativity because I think that’s where we are lacking right now,” he added.

There’s been a slight improvement for the early strugglers, but the main stumbling block thus far have been in front of goal – having scored just once and should’ve been on target against Masandawana.

It doesn’t get any easier for Bahlabane Ba Ntwa whose next assignment are against fellow strugglers TS Galaxy who are also winless and have recorded just two points so far.

“I think we’re showing the signs of improvement, but the matter with us is not scoring so I don’t think we’re that bad it’s just that we are not scoring if we can score or had scored one maybe, the score could’ve been 2-1 or 2-2.

“But I think we just need to put the ball in the back of the net. We need the luck more than other team, we’re playing a team that’s also in the region of where we are. But I think we just need to focus more and more in scoring,” Mohafe said.
