Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter has explained the reason behind once again changing goalkeepers for the Amakhosi’s clash against Marumo Gallants.
Stuart Baxter fielded a fourth different goalkeeper in six matches this season during Sunday’s goalless draw against Marumo Gallants.
The English tactician has since explained why Nigerian goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi was thrown into the mix after Ituemeleng Khune, Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen were all given chances.
BAXTER EXPLAINS WHY AKPEYI WAS GIVEN KAIZER CHIEFS START
“We’ve got four goalkeepers that are potentially number ones. You can look at the long term of the club, the assets are Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen.” Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter said.
“Ituemeleng Khune and Daniel Akpeyi give us that experience and we are hoping they will help and assist in the development of our two younger goalkeepers.
“We have to take every opportunity we can, if all things are equal, to give our younger Kaizer Chiefs goalkeepers the experience that will make them senior goalkeepers. That’s where we are.
At some point, you say well let’s allow them to step back a little bit and give the more experienced guys the shirt in this situation. That’s the rationale behind our thinking.”
