As reported in edition 1351 of Soccer Laduma, Pirates' management haven't been too pleased with the team's slow progress in the league and have been expecting improvement, according to sources.
Pirates have won just four in 11 games so far in the PSL this season and have scored only 11 goals.

"The disappointing results in the league are a cause for concern for Pirates. A lot was expected from the team after winning the MTN8 but things are not going well as far as the results are concerned in the league," said the source.
