Durban City coach Simo Dladla is disconcerted by his side's habit, that stretches from last season, of failing to beat struggling sides, urging his troops to rectify that if they're to gain promotion.
City, who were previously known as Maritzburg United, are yet to lose in their five opening Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) games with three victories and two draws. Dladla has told how it worries him that they tend to struggle against strugglers whereas they always come to the part against fellow form teams.
"We are ready to fight for automatic promotion but my biggest worry is the way we play against teams who are off-form. Last season we dropped points against Platinum City Rovers when they were already relegated...but we couldn't beat them. We also dropped points against Marumo and Venda when they were number 15 and 14 respectively last season,'' Dladla told Sowetan yesterday.
