Former Kaizer Chiefs coach, Farouk Khan believes the disappointing result against Marumo Gallants proves the club's struggles look set to continue.
In what was their first match since the embarrassing defeat to Royal AM, Amakhosi could only grab a point in a drab goalless draw on Sunday.

Chiefs are currently in 13th on the DStv Premiership log table with only five points in five games.
"I think the struggle continues, I think they need to get to a point where they need to have balance in the team where they are more fluent both in attack and defence, former coach Farouk Khan tells snl24.com/kickoff.
"I think there's still a lot of permutations they need to work out, at the same time there's not enough time because if you don't hit the ground running and you don't get early points, you are always going to be playing catch up."
Khan though, believes Chiefs have enough to turn their fortunes around.
"I think they have the material, I think they have a very good squad. I think it's now for the technical staff to put it together.
"It's hard for me to say what they should do or shouldn't do with the players they have. How it works in football is you look at the game, assess your weaknesses and improve your strengths.

"You look at your centre pairing, and you will see their understanding and the ability to understand themselves. If you are happy, then fine, but if not you got time from now on until the next game to work on that, and then you will decide if you will go with the same guys Mathoho and Cardoso and then take it from there.
"They are spoiled for choice because they proved again yesterday when they brought in Akpeyi, he had a fantastic game.
"If he wasn't playing, you still have the likes of Khune, Bvuma and you still have Ngcobo from Swallows, who is quite a good defender you haven't used, also you've got Mabiliso, who I rate highly. They have the quality. SoI think they have to put the puzzle together you know."
