Cape Town Spurs midfielder Keagan Buchanan has revealed what Spurs need to fix to salvage what has been a disaster campaign for the Urban Warriors.
Spurs are stuck at the bottom of the DStv Premiership table with just one win from 16 matches so far and have conceded a league high of 33 goals.

The gap between the club and 15th place is nine points and a relegations battle seems almost imminent. However, for veteran midfielder Buchanan, a few changes can rescue
"Yeah, I think there is a great bunch of talent and people might think the mindset (at the club) isn't right which I don't agree with," Buchanan told KickOff.
"I think the mindset is right, the boys all want to win it's just iron things that we need to fix. I think we are the club that has gone ahead most (in matches) and then have lost the game.
"So I think it's important to sort those types of things and building the youngsters around the block, with players that are more experienced. We have to see games through and not lose matches. For sure, we have a lot of talent in the squad.
"So it's jus a matter of us doing our best to stay up and if we are given as second, we will see these boys come through much stronger."

Spurs have reinforced the squad with the likes of veteran Surprise Ralani who was signed as a free agent after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns, as well as, Sphesihle Maduna who despite being 23-year-olds, already have over 80 top-flight matches under his belt.

According Buchanan, this type of experience, may be be what has been lacking at Spurs.
"To be brutally honest, you need your experienced players on the field to see matches through," Buchanan added.
"Especially in the critical phases of the game, that's where you need experienced players, and believing that the senior players can do the job for you and help the younger ones."
Spurs return to competitive action on 14 February when they take on Royal AM in the DStv Premiership.
