Speaking to the Sowetan Live, Johnson said his players are still committed to turn out better results as they prepare to face Chippa United on Saturday, 6 April.

Johnson said:

"We are still together and they haven't given up hope. I can tell you straight that the team and I are still together. They [players] don't want to lose and that makes it very, very difficult because when you lose, you lose a lot of energy and we just have to make sure that we get them back to where they were before the Stellenbosch game."

The match against Chippa will see Chiefs go up against goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who they were recently linked with.
