We don’t have the squad of other teams – Hunt

Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt says he does not have the squad that 'other teams have'.


Hunt has made a U-turn on his statement from earlier in the season after the Clever Boys signed players to bolster their squad.

Following his side’s loss to SuperSport United, Hunt said he was coaching probably the second strongest side in the league.

“We’ve got ourselves into a good situation, and we need to try and capitalise‚” the coach said.

“We don’t have the squad of other teams. People believe we’ve got a squad‚ but we don’t.

“We’ve got kids playing – we get penalised for producing young players‚ because they have to go away to the [SA] Under-20s.

“So we’ve got kids playing. And we’ve obviously missed a few [players through injury] as well‚ but that’s no excuse.

“We’ve got to use our players who we have got and try to keep everybody on the pitch as long as we can.”
