We are gaining momentum – Ncikazi

“There’s improvement. It’s important that we’ve got momentum now. Orlando Pirates are a big team,” Co-coach Mandla Ncikazi said.

“You’re expected to win in every match. We’re on the level of Mamelodi Sundowns but we even have more support than them. So, given our level, we’re not achieving in the way that we’re supposed to.

“But we do understand the process because we have new leadership and a lot of players have been sidelined by injuries this season. Now I think Orlando Pirates are on the right track towards achieving big things.”
