Bottom of 2024 log: How Chiefs nearly got relegated
POLOKWANE, SOUTH AFRICA - APRIL 27: Players walk out prior to the DStv Premiership match between Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport United at Peter Mokaba Stadium on April 27, 2024 in Polokwane, South Africa. standings. KickOff analysis why they finished just six points above the relegation zone and 10th on the overall log - their worst final position in PSL history.
Chiefs seem to have underestimated the need to bring a few new signings in key areas after Johnson stated that he did not need any signings and wanted to improve the squad during the break.It is therefore shocking that they were the worst team of the second round in the DStv Premiership based on a points system, after accumulating only 12 points from the resumption of the league.
However, Amakhosi's lack of decisiveness in getting a permanent solution as quickly as possible seemingly kept everyone in their comfort zones, after already having a bad start to the season.In the second round, most clubs or coaches already know their strongest line-up. However, despite spending the AFCON break with the team, Johnson still chopped and changed the line-up.
At such a crucial stage of the season, not having consistent line-ups put the club at a disadvantage because most of the opposition they faced were at their peak with a core group from the start of the season.When Johnson was appointed, he spoke about the need to have the club going back to playing 'the Chiefs way'.
Although the Glamour Boys started improving in terms of dominance on the ball, after a couple of bad results from the resumption of the league, they started playing on transitions again and that affected them from having a clear structure or identity that was consistent.Football is a team sport and without unity there is bound to be poor results. The Soweto giants faced a lot of negative press with regards to squabbles and divisions in the camp, particularly in the second round.
