Stuart Baxter has revealed that he will have to look for answers from his players despite the 3-0 win against Golden Arrows at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Tuesday evening.



The Glamour Boys who were handed a cheque of 1, 5 million by the Premier Soccer League at half time for winning the Q1 of the Q-innovation with 18 points after 8 games started the Q2 with a bang thanks to a well taken goal by Lehlohonolo Majoro and a brace from substitute, Kingston Nkhatha.



Stuart Baxter told kaizerchiefs.com after the game; “I am pleased with the result but the players will have a lot to answer about their performance.



“I thought we started well opening them up creating quite a number of chances. There were however too many lapses of concentration. I think we should have scored more goals in the first half and we should not have put ourselves in a situation where we go to halftime leading 1-0.



“Golden Arrows came strongly in the start of second half up until we introduced Kingston (Nkhatha). We then scored the two goals that sealed the game for us. I am happy with the win but I will have to speak to the players,” said Baxter.



The Briton was also pleased with his striker Kingston Nkhatha who grabbed a brace as a substitute, “We have a healthy competition up front. I am of course pleased for Kingston Nkhatha following what he has gone through in the past couple of weeks. He has worked very hard.



I was also happy with K’s (Kaizer Motaung JNR) contribution. We still have Sthe (Sthembiso Ngcobo) who did not play a part in this game so is Bernard Parker who was injured. This gives a coach a nice headache especially if the strikers are scoring goals.



Baxter added that he will have to wait and see if Q-innovation has motivated the players; “It is an interesting concept of course. We did not approach the game differently because we are starting a second quarter but we focused on our game plan.



“We will have to wait and see the benefits of the concept later in the season. It will be interesting to see how the players respond to Q-Innovation. I would like though to congratulate the team for the job well done but we need to remain focused and try and improve with each and every game,” added Baxter.



The win saw the Glamour Boys registering their 250th win in the Absa Premiership since its inception back in 1996.
