Stellenbosch coach Steve Barker isn’t losing sleep over the newbies failure to win a game yet in the PSL, believing a positive result is just around the corner for the league rookies.

He says: “We’ve been competitive in the four games we’ve played and could well have won a game or two had luck gone our way.

“We showed against title contending sides Cape Town City and Wits last time out that we are up to scratch defensively and a threat going forward. While we haven’t had one of our players score a goal, we got one from an own goal from Wits through pressure.”

They only managed to beat us in the last couple of minutes, we were 1-1 and it was a pity we conceded.”

Stellies, who are one from bottom of the log in 15th place on two points, on Sunday visit 11th-placed Bloemfontein Celtic at the Dr Molemela Stadium (3pm kickoff).
