Kaizer Chiefs have not been able to improve results even by changing goalkeepers from Brandon Petersen to Itumeleng Khune at times this season.
Khune has kept gloves in the most recent games, but their other options Bruce Bvuma and Bontle Molefe have not been fielded so far in this campaign.

Siya sources have now indicated that Amakhosi are not totally satisfied with their goalkeeping options for the long term in the squad and have inquired about Chippa United stopper Stanley Nwabili.
The sources have added that a reliable keeper is needed in case Khune retires next season as he is potentially into his last year of his playing contract already.
"Stanley (Nwabili) is not the only goalkeeper they are looking at. There are other goalkeepers they are monitoring as well but after his performances this season, the scouts have recommended that they should look at him and he is on their radar right now," said the Siya source.
"They are preparing for life after Itu (Khune) and they feel Stanley (Nwabili) can cover that position," the source said.
However, according to the source, Chippa United may only let the goalkeeper leave if they also find a top class replacement for next season or whenever such a move may occur.
"The only big issue would be Chippa United wanting to find his replacement before they can let him go. This season he has been the main difference in many games which the team has either won or drawn because of his good performances in most of those games.
"But yeah, the interest is there from Chiefs and you know every player would want to play for a big team like Chiefs. And after all, he wants recognition from the Nigerian national team selectors and playing for Chiefs would give him that platform but at the end of the day it will depend on the two teams," the source concluded.
When contacted for comment by Soccer Laduma, both clubs didn't respond while we prepared this story.
