Lehlohonolo Seema not looking beyond Orlando Pirates clash

Sekhukhune United coach Lehlohonolo Seema says he’s not looking beyond their DStv Premiership clash against Orlando Pirates, even with Babina Noko enjoying a run of positive results since he took charge.

The side playing their home matches at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane find themselves sixth on the log table, just three points adrift of The Buccaneers, who are in second place as the nearest rivals to leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Seema expects a tough outing on Saturday evening.

“Another game that is going to be interesting, people should come and enjoy the game. For us as Sekhukhune we want to take it one game at a time,'' said Seema.

Sekhukhune want to consolidate their place in the top-eight and possibly return to CAF interclub tournaments, having made it as far as the group stage of the Confederation Cup earlier this season.

Seema will also be pleased that right-back Nyiko Mobbie and winger Elias Mokwana return injury-free from Bafana Bafana duty in Algeria.

''We are just making sure that we collect as many points as we can from the last games that are left. So the preparations have been going very well for us and of course we missed Mobbie and Mokwana, but I was happy as a coach when I saw them having some few minutes in a match, it shows they are active - that is good for us,'' added Seema.

The coach insists they are not reading too much into their unbeaten run of five fixtures as they host the Soweto giants to Limpopo.

''We know that we have a five game run unbeaten but that is nothing because we are still in a position where we want to improve,'' he concluded.

Seema adds he wants Sekhukhune to try and impose themselves on Pirates instead of absorbing the pressure like traditional minnows.
