We have failed club, says Dove as Chiefs chase top-eight place

IT’S a tale worn thin by time, yet here we are again an up-and-down season unfolding its final chapter, with Kaizer Chiefs’ fate hanging in the balance as the curtain falls on Saturday against Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium (3pm kick-off).

The Amakhosi have endured a challenging campaign overall, marked by one of their worst defensive performances in recent memory.

As they approach the final round, there's no margin for error not just at the back, but also going forward, as victory is non-negotiable.

They find themselves on a knife’s edge, facing the bleak prospect of missing out on the MTN8 for a second consecutive season.

The 2023/24 season was expected to be one to forget for the Phefeni Glamour Boys, yet somehow, they have slipped even further.

Even a victory on Saturday won't see them surpass last season's 36-point total, and they have already conceded two more goals despite playing fewer matches.
