Kaizer Chiefs forward Keagan Dolly believes the absence of Khama Billiat added to their frequently forced line-up changes contributes to their inconsistencies.
Chiefs have yet to win more than three consecutive games in the 2022/23 season under head coach Arthur Zwane.
And the absence of the Zimbabwe international who holds a telepathic understanding with Dolly has been evident in their lack of killer instinct in the final third.
There have been several changes in attack with Bonfils Caleb Bimenyimana the top scorer with seven goals this season and Dolly admits injuries have played a big role in their lack of fluency and consistency going forward.
“I miss playing with Khama, we all know what he can bring on the day, his experience, his quality, and just our understanding you know,” Dolly said when asked by iDiski Times if he’s been affected by Billiat’s absence this season
“But it’s part of the game, he’s out, and there are other players who can come in and do the job, it’s just for us to start understanding each other, and I think that’s been the main problem in our inconsistencies of trying to get combinations right.
“One player gets injured, and another player comes in, you know? I think Christian came into the squad, he’s a new player still trying to adapt to the way we play – so it’s progress for us, we need to keep on working on it until we get it right again.”
Dolly will be aiming to lead Chiefs to a league double over Orlando Pirates when they face off in the Soweto Derby on Saturday afternoon at the FNB Stadium (15h30).
