'They are solid at the back with their centre back pairings,' said the Stellenbosch coach.
Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker says he has noticed improvement from Orlando Pirates as his team prepares to host the Soweto giants in the DStv Premiership at the Danie Craven Stadium on Tuesday.Barker identified the Pirates centre backs Nkosinathi Sibisi and Tapelo Xoki as the additions to the Bucs squad that have brought stability at the back for the club – Pirates kept a clean sheet in their first game of the season, a 1-0 victory over Swallows FC on Saturday.
“So, based on the performance I think we will take the point away from home. It obviously becomes important if we follow it with three points at home on Wednesday against Pirates, who showed already that there are definite signs of improvement from the way they play. And they are solid at the back with their centre back pairings,” said the Stellenbosch coach.
Barker added that he is content with what he saw from his players and says the team will get better going forward.
