Some PSL coaches have said their first few games in the bio-safe environment — after a five-month layoff as SA locked down due to Covid-19, and just a month’s training preparation with no friendlies — have said they will use their first few games as effective warm-ups.
Hunt’s team cannot afford such a luxury, starting with a must-win semifinal against Sundowns, then meeting Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates in the league. Wits may be in sixth place in the Premiership, 10 points behind leaders Chiefs, but a game in hand and two fixtures remaining against Amakhosi means they still have an outside shot at the title.
As in the Nedbank, much will depend on how their players respond to the sale of the club, which leaves Wits with nothing to lose, and the motivation to go out with a bang. It can also rest on how the young talent from a promising reserve team, who were leading the MDC with a four-point lead with two games remaining when it was cancelled, respond to the call to arms.READ MORE
