Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki has made his standing known about Brandon Petersen as the club continues to search for its first league win of the season.
Despite having put in solid shifts while captaining the team this season, Petersen has conceded goals in an underwhelming start to the season.

First, the 28-year-old made a horrendous judgement against Mamelodi Sundowns handing the champions all three points and then away at TS Galaxy was also unfortunate to fluff a soft attempt.
"We have a very good technical team and good goalkeeping department with our mentor coach Rainer (Dinkenlacker)," says Ntseki.
"I think those were mental issues because when you look at his ability as a goalkeeper, he has done very well for the team even in the past few games.
"But concentration levels were a bit down that is why he made those mistakes.
"It is not only him that made mistakes that led to us losing the games, but it is the whole team because it was a series of mistakes that led to him making the last mistake that we normally look at to be his mistake.
"He has been in the game for some time now and as coaches we need to be there for players, and this is what we are doing which is to help him understand that mistakes like this will always be costly, but these are the mistakes that we need to eliminate in our game.
"When it comes to Itumeleng Khune, something important is that we have four keepers and all of them are competing for the first position to be in the team.
"So, when one makes a mistakes, you don't just make changes without actually zooming into the problem and helping with the problem because you might make changes emotionally and what if the next player makes the same mistake.
"What is important here is that we are a professional team, and we are also treating our players as professionals," explains Ntseki.
