"Good win for our team. Well done coach and your technical team. But there's always room for improvement. I'd like to see our defending start from our front line.
"If our team can share defending duties just to stop the buildup of the opponents, we can challenge more trophies. Other than that thanks to the Team," says siyaciest5.
"This plumber is now insinuating that Chiefs only has three good players," says Shikabala.
"I thought Mr Plumber would talk about the penalty that was denied by Abongile 'Big-Eyes' Tom!!" says Gizaretti.
"I know you don't like to complain coach but they were fresher having had double the time to recover/prepare for the game, which I think was not fair play," says Onside.

"Nonsense," says shabanguntuthuko.
"Leave this boy alone, you are singing his praises because he performed well recently. Do not disturb his progress by calling him a sensation etc. He must remain in the development for another season," says Dr Hlasela Khosi.
"I am not against promoting players, but for Chiefs, I think we need experienced players such as Mayo, Jali, Mendieta, Ighodaro, Uhizu and Kamvuidi.
"We got enough youngsters who are still trying to find their feet. Sesibe inhlekisa kakhulu (We've been too much of a laughing stock) Mr. Chairman. Please give us quality players next season," says mlekeleli.
