Tinkler: Cape Town City have to keep at it

PLUGGING AWAY: City
Cape Town City boss Eric Tinkler has told his span to keep doing their thing as they look to break a two-match losing streak at AmaZulu on Saturday.
The Citizens are off to a nightmare start to their PSL season, going down to champions Mamelodi Sundowns 2-0 on the opening day before a late penalty saw them leave Swallows empty handed after fighting back from 2-0 down on Tuesday night.
Their 8pm date with Brandon Truter’s Usuthu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday night won’t be a walk in the park either with City still without first-choice fullbacks Terrence Mashego and Thami Mkhize out.
But the boss is confident that they are on the right track, they just need to pull together in defence to have a better chance of victory.
He says: “I’ve told the players that I can’t fault them. They are doing everything right.
“They must be wary obviously around our box… we must make sure we are marking nice and tight.
