Subject: [NT] Last two qualifiers

Our next match is against Espana who are running away with the group. They're unbeaten with a 54-4 goal record and beat us 5-1 last time around. I'd be satisfied if we can do any better than that, but we'll be looking for a miracle and a point! :)

Our campaign is effectively over though, as Chile are unlikely to slip up against Ecuador and, even if we manage to do the impossible and beat both Espana and Chile, we'd finish behind Chile on goal difference.

Early news is that Lekhuleng is out of the midfield for two weeks due to injury.

he will be back soon enough

Lekhuleng only slightly injured. Hopefully he'll be fine on Saturday and will play.

Unfortunately, Baloyi is injured now, so that will force a change at the back.

If we can reverse the drubbing that Chile gave us in the first match on the season, I'll be satisfied with the season.

Will be back strongly next time around. This will give us more time to reorganise our team for when it kicks off next time. At least you got the much needed experience with tactics and some of the players

Yep, hope it pays off. I'm looking forward to the Mini World Cup and U21 World Cup, if they get organised.

Lekhuleng still slightly injured. I'm going to rest him and bring in Westerhof, though he's not in the greatest form. Chacho will be on the bench.

What a disappointing way to end the qualifying campaign.

Madigage got sent off in the 15th minute, leaving a massive hole in midfield, and it all went downhill from there.

We picked up another yellow card, committed 5 fouls to 0, and gave away a penalty which they scored.

Final score 0-3 which was nevertheless an improvement on the 0-5 from the first game I had in charge.

Always a hard ask to qualify.but u know the team now and some nice fixtures next season
