Player ratings

Themba Williams runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Mandla 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 The request is on a desk at SuperSport United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Seth Green is a SuperSport United player

The fee is $960.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Orlando Pirates drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

Maritzburg United join the queue for Erick Modiba

Add another name to the list: Maritzburg United have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Erick Modiba. The answer from SuperSport United has not changed — yet.

Squad

Percy Tau 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 SuperSport United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

$960.0K for Seth Green, and SuperSport United supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Seth Green from Orlando Pirates for $960.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Teboho Hlatshwayo 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

Percy Tau stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.75 on the card, and the SuperSport United support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at SuperSport United

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Itumeleng Grobler runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 41. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Hlompho Lorch asks to leave SuperSport United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Bongani Vilakazi 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 SuperSport United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at SuperSport United training over how hard people work

Match

A bad afternoon for SuperSport United against Bloemfontein Celtic

1‑2 to Bloemfontein Celtic, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Teboho Hlatshwayo

“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.

Match

No time for Bloemfontein Celtic to settle

The goal that put Bloemfontein Celtic ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when SuperSport United equalised, 1 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad

Teboho Hlatshwayo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market

SuperSport United put Teboho Hlatshwayo up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Teboho Hlatshwayo may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.
