New coach Nasreddine Nabi has been disappointed by a string of results that only brought five points in their last five PSL matches.

One of Nabi's main concerns will be Chiefs' inability to keep a clean sheet, while star defender Miguel has been red-carded twice since his arrival.

Fans defend Sirino

Local football fans said on social media that Sirino is acting out due to Chiefs' poor performances, while Miguel needs to be more composed on the field.

Cassey Ivy backs Sirino:

"I don't blame him; he realises now that he made the wrong decision."

Atang Musa'h Kebitsemang is upset:

"I'm a Chiefs fan, but Sirino is not as big as he thinks he is. The club is bigger than him."

Dumisa Nxusani gave a reason for the unrest:
