Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter is preparing for the DStv Premiership clash with Chippa United at FNB Stadium on Saturday.
Baxter hopes the international break can work as a reset ahead of what will be another tough encounter.
“We have been working to stop the one or two mistakes we are making in our games. It changes the total perception when you give away a silly goal or miss three or four chances to score,said Baxter.
“We got all the players back today [Thursday], so had a full session. The lads coming back from Bafana Bafana are in good spirits and they are OK [physically]. The other lads that came back are also fully fit, they have all trained fine.
“Unfortunately, Lebo Manyama has broken down again, so he is back to square one. Samir [Nurkovic], Siya [Ngenzana] and [Leonardo] Castro are all working hard, [Dumisani] Zuma too. But those players are nowhere near playing.
“With the international break, sometimes when it comes you are thinking you can kick-on, and sometimes you have injuries and you think it will help us.
“We are trying to do work together, but we have also been together for a relatively short period of time. We want all the time we can get as a group, we want the new players to get used to what we want,added Chiefs coach.
“We are fighting against a mental problem, will the players keep confident and stay trying to do the right things, or will they feel the pressure. If we can spend enough time together, we can crack it.
Baxter said “I am not one of those coaches that makes those targets, I have never been a fan if it. I think it brings in anxiety. But I will say I wanted more points than we have.
