Barker wary of dangerous Amakhosi

“Yes, I do, I think for various reasons Kaizer Chiefs are the biggest test for us. I think, obviously, the quality of our opposition, they also have seemed to have turned a corner, so I’m sure the confidence and belief is high, with some of their high profile players starting to have an impact.” Stellenbosch head coach Steve Barker said.

“You know, this is also our fifth away game in nine. So, that is also not easy, you know, to keep traveling. So ja, it is going to be a big test, but at the same time, we rather look at it as a big challenge. I think it will be a good indicator of where we have come as a team, and what we are capable of achieving. So I think it’ll be a good barometer for us to see where we are at.

“Keagan Dolly is showing the quality that he has and everybody knows he possesses so much quality. We definitely can’t allow him the freedom and space, especially in the final third. But it’s not only him. The movement of the Kaizer Chiefs front three has been really good. They’ve got good quality midfielders and defensively they are solid as well, so those are signs of a team that’s being well coached.”
