Baxter: Majoro must keep on pushing Nkhatha

Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter: Lehlohonolo Majoro must keep on pushing Kingston Nkhatha

Posted: 20 September 2012 Time: 11:51 am

Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has explained why the club's top goal scorer last season, Lehlohonolo Majoro, is not playing at the moment.

Majoro, who top scored for Amakhosi last season with 10 goals from 28 appearances, has found the going tougher this campaign, and since the arrival of Kingston Nkhatha as he has been relegated to the bench.

Baxter says Majoro is not playing because Nkhatha has been doing so well, but he adds that he is pleased with Majoro's attitude at training.

"Majoro was little bit unlucky because when I came into the team Kingston Nkhatha also came in. It's like, who was going to take the shots and Kingston got in at the beginning of the winning team," Baxter explains.

"You can't change a winning team, but Majoro has been showing a great attitude at training, which I like."

Who do you think should be in the starting XI, Majoro or Nkhatha? Let us know on Facebook (click here) or Twitter @KickOffmagazine!

"I can only say he is going to keep on playing and keep on pushing Kingston and if Kingston doesn't deliver, then there will be him, Kaizer Motaung Jnr and Sthembiso Ngcobo who will be ready to take his place."

Thats what you call a quality team, which has depth. At full strength, Chiefs is a recking ball that destroys everything in it's path. ReclaimingTheGlory is tha slogan, a glamour boy? Yes i am!

I actually would like to understanda a criteria used by Baxter which made him come to a conclusion that Nkatha deserved a starting XI ahead of Majoro. On the flip side though that's how the game is - one has to be at the right place at the right time. I think Nkatha just fitted well on what already was a "winning mentality" team. I bet if you can field any striker in the starting XI of the current "on form" Chiefs they will also perform. All we are asking is that Majoro be given a fair chance. Baxter must also remember that we are grooming this young man for Bafana.

Atleast Kingston is not as heavy as Mbesuma and Benni, meaning Majoro can push him with ease if he wants to...

I think it is wrong to say that Majoro has lost his place to Nkhatha alone. The coach is giving us the belief that Parker is a natural choice without any competition, while the other three strikers will have to fight to fight amongst themselves for a chance to play alongside 'automatic choice' Parker.

Maybe the coach should be innovative ..... experiment a system that has Majoro, Bernard and Kingston in the same line up...
