Thobejane replaced demoted Matsimela Thoka last month and has overseen three losses to Golden Arrows, Swallows and Mamelodi Sundowns, and draws with Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City.“The spirit from the boys has been very high in camp since Kgoloko took over and they are playing good football. There is not much in terms of points separating us from the teams above us on the log and one win will change things.
“I think if we can get one win during the remaining two matches of the year we can turn things around, because that will give the players confidence.”“I don’t see us being relegated,” he said, adding the squad will have to be improved during the January transfer window. “I know the players are working hard, but sometimes they must come to the party. If as a player you have individual brilliance you don’t rely on coaches to tell you what to do, because you know what to do when you have the ball.”
