Kaizer Chiefs star forward Keagan Dolly believes the lack of goals scored by the club will soon change as they prepare to face DStv Premiership newbies Royal AM.

Amakhosi have played four matches since the start of the domestic campaign; however, they have only managed to score four goals.

“Since the day I got here, I could see that the team is willing to work hard and buy into what the coach wants us to do,” Dolly said.

“You can see on a match-day that we are willing to stick to our game plan and try to do what the coach wants us to do.

“We are creating chances; we just need to start converting those chances. You could see in the Baroka game, the first half, we created six or seven clear chances that we should have scored, and we stretched the game out, but in the second half, we struggled a bit when they got their goal.

“We need to make sure we at least score three or four so that we can be comfortable and play the way that we want to play.

“We can take a lot from the last three games, and going forward, we know where we need to improve, what we need to work on in each area on the field.”

While Dolly has not scored yet for Amakhosi since his arrival during the transfer window, he has one assist to his name.

The former Ajax Cape Town forward assisted Khama Billiat in Chiefs’ MTN8 quarter-final defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Billiat, a Zimbabwean international, is already showing signs of the form he once possessed at Masandawana before switching to Naturena in 2018.

However, one of the concerns for Chiefs is that Serbian-born striker Samir Nurkovic has not broken his scoring duck this season as he last scored in the CAF Champions League against Wydad AC.

Dolly informed reporters that the Chiefs strikers were doing extra training sessions to lessen the goal problems.

“The strikers are staying behind a bit after training sessions, just working on our confidence in front of goal, but every striker who plays football goes onto the field wanting to score; we don’t go onto the field wanting to miss,” he added.

“The goals will come once we make it a habit of scoring at training as well, and that’s what we have been doing. We are trying to make sure here at training so that when do go into the match, we are ready, and we are confident enough to take every chance we get.”

Saturday’s match kicks off at 17:00.
