September: Hopes for improvement

SuperSport United captain Thabo September says every game from this point on "is crucial" as the Tshwane giants look to arrest their winless ways.

Matsatsantsa have earned maximum points in just one of their opening 12 PSL matches this season, a 3-0 success over AmaZulu way back in September.

And although they have only suffered one defeat, the other 10 games have all ended in draws.

That run finds Gavin Hunt's side 11th in the standings and just three points above the relegation zone, leaving September desperate for a win when they host recently crowned Telkom Knockout champions Bloemfontein Celtic on Tuesday.

"This week we are trying all that we can to get the team in a relaxed mind," September told the club's official website.

"Every game we play now is crucial, especially at home. We really need to start collecting maximum points.

"We are facing a Celtic side that is playing well and full of confidence. The plan is to win, that's it."

SuperSport most recently played out a 2-2 draw at home against Golden Arrows, a match in which September felt the team struggled to impose themselves.

"We registered another draw against Golden Arrows, and this is not that good because we were hosting and wanted all three points so badly," he added.

"Unfortunately things did not go our way after dropping the two points.

"In my view, we were not at our best and we struggled to take charge. We made bad mistakes at the back but showed courage to come back twice from behind."
