Mabasa: Where it went wrong at Pirates

Sekhukhune United striker Tshegofatso Mabasa has opened on what he believes went wrong for him at parent-club Orlando Pirates.

After three seasons at Pirates, Mabasa left the Buccaneers in search of regular game time at the start of the season, securing a season-long loan at Sekhukhune United.

The attacker believes that a lack of opportunities is where it went wrong for him during his time with the Buccaneers, prompting a move elsewhere.

"I think it boils down to maybe not being given an opportunity which was difficult for the coaches at the time because you had a striker that was in form and was playing well, whereas the team usually uses one striker," Mabasa told POWER Sports Extra.

"So it was difficult to take him out at the time because he was delivering for the team you know, so it was just a matter of waiting for the opportunity and grabbing and hoping that you grab both with both hands when it comes."

His loan spell with Babina Noko has not exactly set the league alight; the 26-year-old has scored just twice in his 18 appearances this season but Mabasa is determined to finish the campaign on a high note.

"So far I would give it a five [rating]," Mabasa said of his season with Sekhukhune.

"I would say that it is average because I believed that I should be playing and that I should be scoring more, but that can only happen when you play.

"So, it's just a matter of me waiting for my opportunity to get back into the starting team and finally be given a chance against and I will score those goals definitely."
