Optimistic! Chippa United coach take positives from Orlando Pirates loss as they remain on the bottom of PSL Standings after losing 2-0 to Pirates

Vusumuzi Vilakazi’s Chippa United can only take the fighting spirit from their 2-0 loss to Orlando Pirates to their next matches.

Vilakazi says United’s failure to stay focused for the entire 90 minutes of their Betway Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium was their downfall.

And that this heavily hampers their chances of moving away from the relegation quagmire as they remain on the bottom of the PSL table.

“No, obviously we’re disappointed with the result, we wanted to fight so that we can be victorious on the day but it was just not meant to be. But I’m happy with the spirit, I think if we can keep working like this, fighting like this we’ll definitely not go down,” said Vilakazi SuperSport TV after the game.

“But we can only take the positives out of this game, obviously we snapped in the crucial stages of the game where we needed to concentrate a little bit more. But with the effort from the players and commitment I’m very much happy."

The Eastern Cape-based Chippa seem to finding the going tough as they have already changed more than two coaches this season in an effort to move to a respectable position on the table.

Vilakazi’s days remain numbered in Gqeberha as its known club boss, Chippa Mpengesi, is not shy to send gaffers packing irrespective of the length of their stay at the club.
