Why coach sidelines 'JJ'

Solomons claims the striker started misfiring after the departure of Botswana coach, David Bright. Ramatlhakwana has seen minimal club action despite being in sparkling form for his country. But at club level, Solomons says he may have been affected by Bright's departure two seasons ago. Bright, now at National First Division side Bay United, is the man who lured Ramatlhakwana from Mochudi Centre Chiefs at the start of the 2008-2009 season.

He then left at the end of the season to join the Port Elizabeth side. Since then, Ramatlhakwana has not played.
