Cape Town Spurs coach Shaun Bartlett says he will ring changes in his squad after suffering their third consecutive defeat in the DStv Premiership.

The Urban Warriors began their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy followed by a 2-0 loss to Sekhukhune United and they most recently fell to a 3-1 defeat to Polokwane City.

This result leaves Spurs at the foot of the DStv Premiership table with zero points from their first three matches.

Bartlett is ready to switch up his squad in the hopes of turning their fortunes around in the league.

“We’ve to ensure that we pick up points as quickly as possible. Maybe the only positive thing is the fact that we managed to score a goal, but I think we pushed on after we conceded the third goal.

“We need to do that from the beginning, not when we are in a losing position.

“We can’t run away from it three losses in three matches, it means now we have to do something different, maybe the personnel that we have used this far is not good enough.

“The fighting spirit, I’ve to ask a lot of questions to the players in the field if they don’t bring enough, we will look at different players who can help us. I think that’s the biggest challenge for us to change the squad.

“We’ve to find a reaction next Friday at home against Chippa, not an ideal way to start the DStv Premiership, but I think it is a wake-up call for our boys. To compete at the highest level you also have to increase your capacity.”
