Disappointment was written all over the face of Orlando Pirates coach Mandla Ncikazi as he delivered a post-mortem of their goalless stalemate with Golden Arrows at the weekend.

Despite creating a number of chances, Pirates couldn’t find the back of the net at Princess Magogo Stadium. “I am disappointed based on the number of chances we created. It’s two points dropped for us. I really don’t think we deserve a point here, we deserve three. But in the game of football if you don’t put the ball in the back of the net, you won’t win matches,’’ Ncikazi said after the match.

Even so, Ncikazi sounded rather proud of the performance of his troops in Durban. “I am not disappointed with the performance and the effort from the players,” noted the Pirates trainer. “One of his shots was very close to being a goal. It would have been nice if he scored but I am still very happy with him. We have to be developmental in our approach, allow youngsters to grow. He’s doing well in the Diski Challenge and that’s the approach that the club must adopt,” said Ncikazi.
