“As a responsible coach (Baxter)‚ a player like that who has just come in and did what was unexpected at a certain level .... you protect him.'

“And I know that the fans at home would not have understood start him on the bench against Nigeria. We would be crying foul because he scored against Egypt.

Moeti‚ who played 29 games for the Bafana as a combative midfielder in the national side that eventually won the Afcon on home in 1996‚ said Baxter should have shielded Lorch from the pressure and started him on the bench. Baxter eventually introduced Lorch in the make-or-break encounter against the Pharaohs following Themba Zwane's suspension.
