Orlando Pirates eye Gallants clash to bounce back from early League setback
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou is targeting a return to winning ways against Marumo Gallants on Tuesday night. Photo: Itumeleng English Independent Media Image: Itumeleng English Independent Media Orlando Pirates' push for a strong start to the Betway Premiership hit an early stumbling block as they fell 1-0 at home to Sekhukhune United — a result that underlined the urgent need to settle their new arrivals into the squad. With title ambitions high after last season's close finish, the Buccaneers must put the disappointment behind them quickly as they travel to the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium to face Marumo Gallants on Tuesday night (7.30pm kick-off) in what will be a must-win encounter to steady their early-season wobble. This season has been earmarked for a strong title challenge, but coach Abdeslam Ouaddou and several new recruits got their first taste of league action on Saturday — the defeat a sharp reminder of the challenge of building cohesion.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Missing key players and still forging fresh combinations, the Sea Robbers found it far harder to break down a stubborn Sekhukhune side than they did Polokwane City in their 2-0 MTN8 triumph a week earlier. 'Unfortunately we didn't start like we would have wanted in terms of the intensity we wanted to put on that game,' Ouaddou admitted. 'We started slow and waited until we conceded. We then saw a different Orlando Pirates with a different rhythm — chasing the game, trying to equalise. 'We saw some interesting things even though we lost, but the bad thing is starting badly in the opening match of the league. It's not the way we wanted to start.' Pirates now face a confident Gallants side who began their campaign with a 2-1 away win over Richards Bay, with Mamelodi Sundowns also looming in the MTN8 semi-finals this weekend. Ouaddou believes the busy fixture list could work in their favour, but they must be more clinical. 'There's a big difference between the intensity in the MTN8 game and the first half on Saturday,' he said. 'The contest was interesting in terms of chances, but you have to be efficient in the box. If you're not, the opponent can take one chance and finish — and that's what happened. 'There is disappointment, but in football you quickly get the chance to play again, and we definitely have to try to win the next game.'

'Why change a winning team?': Orlando Pirates legend rants at technical team
Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs has slammed his former team following their shock 1-0 loss to Sekhukhune United on Saturday. Playing in front of a packed Orlando Stadium, the Sea Robbers failed to find the back of the net in their first Betway Premiership match of the season. Despite their 2-0 win against Polokwane City in the MTN8 quarter-finals, Pirates looked sluggish a week later against an organised Sekhukhune side. Speaking on the Soccer Beat podcast, Josephs felt Orlando Pirates players took the match for granted after their impressive MTN8 quarter-final win. 'Everyone was looking forward to this season, looking at how last weekend's game went but we have to be constructive as well,' he said. 'This team looks like a team that got results last weekend and thought to themselves, 'I just need to be on the pitch, and the results will take care of themselves. ' 'That will not happen; we never looked like we were going to hurt them. This is Orlando Pirates, we must know that the team that faces us will want to beat us; they will be more motivated. 'We came up against a team that has structure. Eric (Tinkler) structured that team and we can't break them down; we don't have plan A or B.' We have all the ammunition to break them down, but we are using them in the wrong areas. We have to go back to the basics, simple as that,' Josephs said in a rant. The double treble winner questioned Orlando Pirates coach's decision to experiment during the first match of the season. 'Listen, these results hurt because we spoke last season about what we need to do to stay up there. We need to start well, we need to start on the right foot. 'Time for experimentation is gone; hence, you had the pre-season. My disappointment as well comes from the technical team, because why didn't we carry on with the team that did well last season? because they know exactly what is expected; the tempo, the pressure and then slowly introduce these new players,' said the Orlando Pirates legend.
