Former Kaizer Chiefs center-back Dominic Isaacs warns the club's players not to be sluggish in their approach in the remaining games as there is still a lot to play for.
It has not been a good season for Amakhosi after missing out on MTN8, Black Label, and the Nedbank Cup.
The DStv Premiership title is also no longer within their reach, the Naturena-based side is in position six on the log table and currently trailing log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by 13 points.

"Is the management giving them everything they want? Yes. Is the club being professional? Yes. Are they being paid on time? Yes. But the players are still not responding.
"Haaikhona it's been a while now. They've had two pre-seasons in one season, you can’t tell me they can't put their heads together and grind out the results.
