There is no other recipe to change the results for Richards Bay coach Kaitano Tembo, who has emphasised that “we have to keep on working” and eventually things will change in their favour.
Before heading to the FIFA international break, Tembo’s side came from behind to rescue a point against his former club Sekhukhune United at King Zwelithini Stadium last week.
Before that, they lost to all-conquering Mamelodi Sundowns, leaving them winless along with bottom-placed Cape Town Spurs. Bay are lying second from bottom with two points after five matches, having lost three of those games.
But they have not won a match since January this year and they are winless now in 19 matches in all competitions, 18 in the league, equalling Witbank Spurs in 1997 and Free State Stars in 2016.
Despite struggling to get a win in nine months now, Tembo was encouraged with what he saw against Sekhukhune.
“Obviously we have to keep on working,” said Tembo, who was appointed at the beginning of this season.
“Because that is only for us to try and get ourselves in a better situation because there is still a lot of time, but I’m quite happy with the way we are responding from the players’ side, they have done really well.
“I think we can only get better. We have enough time to also try and regroup and give players a little bit of time to rest because there has been a bit of pressure. Hopefully we will come back fresh and be able to push again.”
Tembo will hope by the time they visit Swallows at Dobsonville Stadium on 15 September they will have Sakhile Hlongwa, Somila Ntsundwana, Sibusiso Mthethwa, Katlego Maphathe, Lucky Mohomi, Mpho Mathebula and Simphiwe Mcineka fully fit, as all of them have been in and out of the side nursing injuries.
