Orlando Pirates’ Mandla Ncikazi has explained the technical team's decision to give Thembinkosi Lorch and Siphesihle Ndlovu a run on the weekend.match on Sunday already qualified for the quarterfinals, the Buccaneers did well to finishCity, Chiefs & Co In Big Wins As Title Race Hots Up
After picking an injury against Marumo Gallants as Bucs were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, Lorch has been a notable absentee from the team’s recent matches before resurfacing on Sunday while Ndlovu has struggled for game-time with only six appearances in all competitions for him this season. “We have to find solutions how do you deal with low blocks. We do win some matches, but it changes. Sometimes the block is on position two but today it was on position one. So, you don’t have the space behind because the centre-backs are too close to the goalkeeper. Sometimes they stretch the line with six, so it closes the outside channels.
The Nigerian also missed the match in the continental competition due to sickness, according to Ncikazi.
