“It has been an up and down kind of start. It has been both hot and cold,” said Ntseki when asked about the start of his first season as head coach.

“When you go to the last game before this one (the City game), we were very much spot on in terms of our plan and execution.

“I think that today if you look at how we started, we were shaky because we were not on the ball as much as we would like to be.

“We have brought some quality players and the mood in the camp is good. It’s just unfortunate that [we lost because] we’re expecting to get good results out of this,” he said to SuperSport TV, as quoted by iDiski Times.

“But I think in terms of the attitude in the camp it’s very good, the players are looking forward to a good season because we are having a very good mood in the camp.

“Tactically, we are still working on our different formations in terms of the players coming on from the bench, those coming on from the stand, but I think today [Sunday] it leaves us with a very huge assignment in terms of how we prepare going forward.”
