Following their 1-0 loss against Chippa United at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, new TS Galaxy coach, Owen da Gama, said his troops need to start applying all the basics right. Da Gama said this match gave him the time and opportunity to see what areas they need to work on going forward.

“We have to apply all the basics and start defending right from the first whistle to the last, because we can score goals, but if we don’t defend well, we will be punished and we will lose games such as these,” he said.

To beef up his technical team, club boss Tim Sukazi, has roped in the services of former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana striker, Shaun Bartlett, as Da Gama’s second-in-command. The two great tacticians will be put to the test when Galaxy takes on Maritzburg United tonight and again next Tuesday, when they travel to Orlando Stadium for a date against Orlando Pirates. The duo have a huge task of rescuing the team from a looming relegation. Galaxy is currently languishing at the bottom of the log with only eight points after 11 games.
