Lehlohonolo Seema outlines Siwelele's shortcomings in the striker department

Seema's side kicked off their season with a 2-2 draw at home to TS Galaxy before going down 1-0 to newly promoted Milford FC.

They then lost 2-0 to a revitalised AmaZulu under head coach Arthur Zwane, to sit in 15th place on the league standings, just ahead of Kruger United.

The club have made a raft of new signings to strengthen their squad but Seema says they are still short of a few natural goalscorers.

Next up for Siwelele is a home tie against a Chippa United side also struggling to find their feet under new head coach Brandon Truter.

Reflecting on his side's form, a determined Seema explained that they are working hard to fix their current shortcomings.

"We are getting into the box but we still have last season's problem. We don't have strikers that can kill off games, and it's not the club's doing," Seema said in the Sowetan.

"We have been trying to get the papers of the two strikers we have signed, but we are still waiting. After getting those two players in, we will be a better team because there's no shortage of chance creation."

"I am not worried much about the way we are playing and the way we are conducting ourselves. It's just that we can't convert our chances and it's something that we all can see and we are aware of, but we will continue working," he added.

“Yes, midfielders will give you one, two, three or four goals per season. A winger that would give you four goals, so we can't rely on midfielders for goals. We need strikers. I am happy with the squad I have and I can tell you, we will turn the corner.”
