Ajax Cape Town captain Dominic Isaacs is adamant that the Urban Warriors will soon the corner and start climbing up the league table.

The Cape side are anchored to the bottom of the Absa Premiership table, with just two points from their five matches this season, while they bowed out of the Telkom Knockout at the first round stage after losing to SuperSport United.

The Urban Warriors had been hoping to build on the momentum they started enjoying towards the end of last season when coach Muhsin Ertugral came in for the last couple of months to help the club avoid relegation.

Its been tough for the Turk in 2013/ 2014, trying to find solutions for injury issues, while also looking to introduce youngsters into the side, sometimes forced, and sometimes by choice.

The likes of Keegan Dolly, Abbubakar Mobara, Toriq Losper, Bantu Mzwakali, Brandon Petersen, Michael Kwong and Travis Graham all appear to be exciting talents, set for a very bright future in the game.

But when results are the bottom line, and relegation unthinkable, the pressure on the young players’ shoulders can be huge, leaving little room for them to ease their way into the team.

It’s for this reason that experienced heads such as Lance Davids, Nathan Paulse, Franklin Cale and Isaacs are back at the club, but so far the senior players in the side have been unable to instill the confidence needed to start getting results.

Isaacs however is not shirking the responsibility and has called for improvements all over the park from his team-mates.

“We are very disappointed to be winl-ess after five games but we have only ourselves to blame,” the former Kaizer Chiefs and Bloemfontein Celtic defender told the club website. “We are creating upfront but not converting our scoring chances, while at the back we conceding goals through silly mistakes,” he added.

Isaacs is also adamant that its too early to read too much into the league table, believing Ajax are better than the standings suggest.

“If you look at the first five league results we have lost most of our games by the odd goal, so we have to tighten up at the back and score the chances we create.

“As a team we have to take responsibility for our performances, we are a better than the results display and I am sure we will turn our season around very soon.”

The Ikamva-based side are next in action on Wednesday, 23 October, when they host Free State Stars at the Cape Town Stadium.
