With Kaizer Chiefs still struggling for results, former midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane has offered his perspective why.
Chiefs supporters are torn on whether to blame the players or the coach and his technical team after there was so much hope at the beginning of the season but it seems nothing has changed.
Amakhosi suffered their ninth defeat of the league season after going 2-0 down against Richards Bay before the international break and find themselves lying eighth on the table with eight games remaining.
The January signings of Makabi Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris and Thabo Cele also promised to make The Glamour Boys more competitive but the jury is still out on who to blame for the inconsistent results.

Surprisingly, head coach Nasreddine Nabi has not received intense pressure from supporters, unlike previous coaches who could not bring the results and seems to be having the backing of management to continue ahead of next season.
Could the players be to blame?
Letsholonyane has suggested that the players may not have enough hunger and desire to win matches.
"I don't know what is really happening, except what you always see and watch in performance during games or what we pick up in the media. So I can't really say what is wrong," 'Yeye' initially shied away from giving his honest view, in an interview on Omniaudioafrica YouTube Channel.

"But all I know, from a former footballer's perspective, I think they want to win, I think so, right? Is it enough? It's not because the results are not coming.
"You can't say (the will and desire to win) is enough when the results are not coming," the former dreadlocked midfielder added.
Another squad overhaul is expected at Chiefs in the off-season, with a number of players whose contracts coming to an end in most danger of not returning.
Nabi is understood to be influencing the management to make the signings he's recommending of at least seven players.
