Read: Mission Impossible Now Possible? "It Took Character…" Chiefs have now lost eight games in a single season for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign, and need to improve drastically if they're to make sure that they don't finish outside the top five for the first time since 2007/08.

Middendorp was unhappy with the way his players performed in their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bloemfontein Celtic over the weekend, but insists that they can get more points under their belt before the season comes to an end. He told the club's official website, "It is becoming a tendency to start our games slow… We have to rectify this, because we too often produce 0-1 situations and then we have to chase the game. We can't continue this way. "We will have to move on to prepare for that encounter. We will work on our shortcomings and return to our winning ways." Toyota, drive your obsession
