Player ratings

Both of them Keagan Furman's — 8.02

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.02, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Remember the name: Teboho Dala

He is 20, he is averaging 7.15, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market

Morgan Modiba puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Black Aces, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Dean Jali in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Black Aces this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Bidvest Wits take the points off Black Aces

Beaten 3‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Black Aces and Bidvest Wits in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad

Words at Black Aces training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Teboho Dala is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Gift Kekana at his very best

Marked 8.01. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Black Aces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Erick Williams

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Lebogang Williams

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

A hiding for Black Aces

Beaten 1‑5 by Kaizer Chiefs, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Bradley Kekana at 21 — 7.68

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Bradley Kekana did not need any: 7.68, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Morgan Modiba puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Black Aces, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A falling-out at Black Aces

Dean Jali and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

6 goals as Black Aces and Kaizer Chiefs go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Black Aces and Kaizer Chiefs, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

The dugout

No hiding place for Gift Mokotjo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gift Mokotjo, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Black Aces dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings

Keagan Furman was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Lebogang Vilakazi

There were 10 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Black Aces

0‑7 against Bloemfontein Celtic, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Dean Jali in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Black Aces this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

7 goals as Black Aces and Bloemfontein Celtic go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Black Aces and Bloemfontein Celtic, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

The dugout

No hiding place for Erick Williams

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Erick Williams, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Inquest at Black Aces

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout

Sifiso Mokoena answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑7, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout

Lebogang Vilakazi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Evidence Vilakazi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
