Lamontville Golden Arrows coach Mabhuti Khenyeza has called for calm over the club's poor run of form that has seen the Durban-based side lose all of their last six matches across all competitions.
Abafana Bes'thende suffered a 2-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates last Saturday at Mpumalanga Stadium thanks to goals from Patrick Maswanganyi and Karim Kimvuidi, while Nduduzo Sibiya scored for the home side.

The loss plummets them down to seventh on the DStv Premiership table, a far cry for a side that was as high as second earlier this season.
However, Khenyeza insists it is not the time to press the panic buttons just yet and that there is a chance of fortunes on the horizon.
"If you can look, where is Cape Town City? They are around the top of the log and at the beginning of the season they lost six games," Khenyeza said after the match.
"We don't want to dwell on the past, we need to focus on the future. Somewhere somehow we will chance. Richards Bay how many months last season they didn't have win games, but they suddenly changed when they played Swallows.
"It's about belief and focusing go the next game against because if we focus on past games we will get stuck and have a problem.
"I would be worried if teams were beating us four, five goals but remember, we are pushing, we are pushing teams, we are competing with teams and our fortunes will change.

"We talk about teams changing. Stellenbosch just won the cup, two or three seasons ago they were fighting [in the] relegation [zone] now it's about the belief that you want to achieve something better."
Next for Arrows is a DStv Premiership clash against TS Galaxy on Saturday at Mpumalanga Stadium.
