Coach not giving up on Chiefs

Season looking dismal at halfway mark – but injury woes could soon be over

Kaizer Chiefs are on course for potentially their lowest points total at the halfway mark of the Absa Premiership in 11 seasons unless they get a victory in their final match of the year at home to Ajax Cape Town in Durban on Saturday.

Even victory against the Urban Warriors would only equal their previous worst mark in the past decade as the troubles at the club this season are laid bare.

Victory over Ajax will take Chiefs to 22 points after 15 matches‚ with their lowest mark in the last 11 seasons just 18 points, which they set in the 2007-08 campaign under Muhsin Ertugral.

They went on to finish sixth that season with 43 points. Amakhosi managed 22 points at halfway in 2009-10 under the Serb Vladimir Vermezovic‚ but managed to rally and finished third.
