Pelokgosi told Mmegi Sport there is need to change a number of things in his team in order to avoid relegation.

He admitted the team does not have quality players who match the standard of the Premiership. “These players do not qualify to play in Premiership. I need players who have experience and we will be able to match the standard in the league,” he said.

The disappointed Pelokgosi said the players are not able to get results as they concede loopy goals.

“We gave away silly goals. We could have wrapped today’s game in the first half, but we failed,” he said.

He said his players were not able to attack BR Highlanders and also failed to defend in order to deny Highlanders opportunities.

“Today the players were not able to control the ball. I can’t teach them to control the ball during games. I did that at training. The goalkeeper also made mistakes and that cost the team,” he said.

Pelokgosi’s opposite number, was however elated with the point. Tebogo Mokute said the plan is to win the last three games in first round to avoid relegation.

“We want to win our last three games to boost our morale and avoid relegation,” he said. Mokute said he was impressed as they were able to salvage a point. 

Satmos opened the score when Thato Ganetsang put them in front after 12 minutes before Melvin Moyo increased the margin in the 28th minute.

However, Okeditse Oagile halved the deficit in the 30th minute before Leteng Legopelo broke Satmos hearts when he converted from the spot in the 36th minute to ensure the spoils were shared. The draw now leaves FC Satmos in the 15th position with five points while Highlanders is are place above with 10 points
