Amakhosi suffered one of their heaviest defeats in recent times when they were beaten 4-1 by Downs at Loftus Versveld Stadium.
The Glamour Boys were already down 4-0 at half-time which was not only a disappointment to the Amakhosi faithful but also a big surprise to Baxter.
"Three of the goals conceded were from set pieces which surprised me. Sundowns delivered three very good balls into our box and we didn't deal with it," says Baxter.
"I think our inability to deal with those set pieces at that stage of the game, when we were a goal down were to blame, and I thought we lost our composure.
"We got stretched which meant that Sundowns could get balls into midfield and their good movement caused us problems and so we got stretched, which is the first time we got stretched since I came to the club, we lost control of the game although we got it back a little in the second half," he says.
The former Bafana Bafana coach said he was hoping to rectify the mistakes when they return back to training this week.
"Also our play on the transition was not as dangerous and as confident as it used to be. That's probably because we were pushing for a goal so you lose a little bit of patient.
"We have to do something about the set play ball collectively, the composure and the general quality of our play," he added.




Your comments on this story...
It was actually poor planning that cost you, Only VV could get the best from those average players.
Gold relegated cosmos, Yeye relegated cosmos, Celtics have been fihgting relegation with that Mathoho. u cannot rely on such players.
Bafana bafana has been leaking goals. Plus u Braiid your CV as well.
In life u cannot achieve more with less.
Tse ntshooo!
Where were the Twin Towers.
Shut up and go back to Nurse Khumalo's drawing board coz this is just the beginning, teams are still going to whip your stinking tiny behind to come good.
Winner Takes all
Makhosi Takes Nothing
The difference between Shweshwe and Mulomo is that the other one is from Zimbabwe while the other one is from Sudan(Towel).
Looking at Issacs playing on Friday against Pirates you will realize that the difference between him and Morgan Goat is the time one takes with Jessica in the toilet.
So in short, Zebras never beefed their failing ordinary squad, they only replaced Cows with other cows. They lost a leader, a ball winner in Nengomadala and never replaced him.
To put chillies in the wound, they brought a CV Braaya as a coach.

Rhyming, isnt it?

Hahahahahaha everything here is written Nurse Khumalo all over it. Transition from defence to attack.....that's PROBABLY hahahah
Looking at this picture i see a confused, conniving, undermotivated bunch of cows and donkeys.
Sundowns is a team of its own, sorrounded by quality all over,,from the stands to the board room..DONE!

Angry!!!
My wise Champ Marapo warned Chiefs fans about playing without a natural middlefield destroyer and they insulted him.
My other wise Champ Mgugudi reminded them about wingers who could penetrate and unlock the defenders which is something they dont have and they insulted him.
My other Champs told them how overrated Khune is and they where also insulted.
Baxter baked his CV, He is a CV braaya
Sundowns had Sangweni, Kekana
Pirates had Jali(Bibo on the bench)
Swallows has Tsutsulupa, Sibaya
Supersport has Maluleka, Gyimah...
so i will advice you to make up your mind and get us 2 top quality holding Midlefielders and stop this nonsense of Nkosi-Yeye combo because none of them is a ball winner...
