Having failed to get three points in his first match in charge against Golden Arrows a few days ago, Baroka coach Kgoloko Thobejane has now turned his attention to Orlando Pirates.
Baroka lost 3-2 to Arrows last weekend and they take on Pirates in their next DStv Premiership encounter at Orlando Stadium on Thursday where they are looking for their first win in seven matches.
During this unproductive seven-match run, Baroka lost five matches to AmaZulu, SuperSport United, TS Galaxy, Chippa United and Arrows and drew with Royal AM and Stellenbosch.
Pirates, on the other hand, are on the up with two wins, two draws and one loss from their five last league matches, a run that has pushed them to seventh spot on the log.
“Our plan has not changed much, we lost the three points against Arrows but there are twelve more to play for in the next four matches of this first cycle,” said the outspoken Thobejane, who still has to contend with struggling Swallows, Cape Town City, Mamelodi Sundowns and Stellenbosch before the end of the year.
“Our position on the log standings is not good at the moment and we need those points on offer. Our next match is against Pirates and if you want to be the best, you must beat the best.
